thank you so much for this list <3  

im so sick of overbearing possessive yandere MLs and poor innocent MCs who gets taken advantage of. It doesn't make me root for the relationship AT ALL and I just end up dropping it (or continue reading in some fruitless hope that the MC will somehow one-up the ML at least once.. which of course never happens). either that or we get pampering ML in a one-sided relationship with an MC who only knows how to throw tantrums and argue. -.- 

Now i just need someone to make a similar list for female protagonist novels.

How to survive as a villain —> tragedy, drama, comedy. Let’s see there’s angtsy, there’s plot, there’s conflict, and there’s relationship like Romeo and Juliet except mc in denial of his feeling since realistically it can’t work out w his identity and ml’s identity with blood feud from previous gen. The relationship development is nice and fun to see them overcome obstacles. Oi masochistic tendency showing its tent**les again...

100k volts electrocute you to death—> cute story w actions. The buildup and their chemistry is not bad and fun to read. The story is interesting hmm I’m being vague but I don’t want to spoil too much since I realize I kinda did w my few other recs smh ... but it’s also a relationship that started out from trust then to life and death partner. And it’s also one of my fav that I always keep checking for updates

Heyy I’m back w more novel rec tho idk if they fall under your “healthy relationship” category and if u like them

Anywyas starting off one of my fav

Heroic death system —> I say it’s one of my fav QT and I have my personal fav arcs my bias since I find their relationship sweet and ml pampering. Tho that doesn’t change the fact I did find mc getting HE in the latter half story repetitive(idk these kind of qt might have uncover some sm tendency that makes me not want them to have HE...AHEM)and also a few arc that I really don’t like, so I just skip around reading the arcs that I like more, it’s still really enjoyable and I find the chemistry nice in the beginning. The last arc is the worst smh but love the first few arcs

Fight the landlord, fall in love —-> same author as Golden Stage, this is like an au of it? It say it’s adapted from it on NU and we find a side cp from golden stage in this modern setting. It’s a really short read 41 chapters so I guess that y their relationship, interested in each other and falling all happened within the first 10 chapters. Still baffles me how quickly they gain interest in each other but ml isn’t forceful or anything and respects mc quite a lot. They both childish but mature and that somehow complement each other. Their relationship reminds of of “Your distance” I guess because of the ml’s profession loll but ofc the two novel are really different except the vibe of mature stable and calm relationship 

Another MXTX high profile work and gained quite a bit of recognition

Heaven official blessing (same author of founder of diabolism)—> characters are all endearing with their own flaw yet the relationship buildup is really nice —> but this novel for me is really hard to read under one sitting since there’s a lot plot going on so I stopped around c50. I think other people are the same, taking breaks while reading this since my heart can’t take it

Note:

 At some point when I was reading QWTFOD I think someone commented that QWTFOD, heaven official blessing, founder of diabolism and maybe something else I forgot the name is the four bible of cn bl community loll

A few novel recommendations if you haven't read these yet: 

1) Assistant Architect

2) Film Emperor’s Adorable Wife From Ancient Times 

3) The Film Emperor Asks for Divorce Every Day 

4) I Ship My Adversary X Me

Three of these got really tacky titles but the stories are interesting and the relationships between the main characters are balanced and full of respect if you want to check it out!! 

Hello, honestly I've been a long time faithful follower from your list recomendation but I'm too shy to come out and greet you in person.

First of all, I wanna thank you for being so kind and empowering making me realized that there are people who actually shared same passion as me.

I'm still reading some tr*shy novels as of now, but truly, your list is the one I always kept looking forward. 

I've read some of the books mentioned before I go through this list. But also there are some gems that I truly like from your list such as Your Distance, Fake Slakers and Tattoo. Of course there are many more but I already imposed too long on this building.

At the end I just wanna say hi and hope we could one day chat regarding these books and sharing a few books that maybe we already read.

Regarding I Just Want To Be In A Relationship, I checked it out. I was confused. In the raws, was it only really 96 plus extras? The translators already translated around 220 chapters.

By the way, thanks for creating this reading list. I have been following this since you created it. Right now, I'm being broken by Strategy to Capture the s*um Gong (my eyes are now so swollen because of it). 

I'm now starting to be busy. So, hehe, if you don't mind, may you recommend the best complete stories you read in ascending order? Arigatouuu~
