Best, Ok and Great BL
Best, Ok and Great BL
⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡
This is a personal list of BL novels I enjoyed and believe deserve a chance! I chose them purely based on whether they clicked with me — sometimes they’re sweet and healing, sometimes they’re dark and twisted. (I’m good with either extreme.)
My Rating System:
5/5 — Obsessed. I cried and got an adrenaline rush while reading. Will reread forever.
4/5 — Loved it. Strong characters, cool plot and vibes. Will revisit favorite chapters.
3/5 — Good idea but something was missing. Wished for fixes.
2/5 — Cool concept but terrible execution. Impressive fail.
1/5 — Actually put me in a bad mood.
0/5 — Morally offensive or pissed me off.
