screaming, crying, sobbing over my favourite BL novels

screaming, crying, sobbing over my favourite BL novels
The novels I enjoyed the most out of many read so far. First ~20 ranked as my ultimate favourites, while the rest are grouped by genre/setting generally in this order:

Modern Supernatural, Horror | Historical | Wuxia, Xianxia, Xuanhuan | Quick Transmigration | Infinite Flow/Game | Adventure, Fantasy | Apocalypse | Modern, Slice of Life, School | etc.

Utilized my limited academic braincells a lil too much with most of these, I think. But they're still awesome, so it's fine.

Yeah this one's short and funny. Highly enjoyable quick read. Kind of gives some BingYuan (SVSSS) vibes, if you stretch it.

Oh man, this one was too damn cute. Literally the sweetest. Mr. Emperor is the most patient man alive, goddamn. Patience and self-control of a saint, I tell you. Liu Xianyu is a real one, she and Shunde did the work to get these two clowns together. It's so funny that the entire court was waiting for Emperor-san to announce the marriage too. Everyone is so invested. ... more>>

For it's complex portrayal of interrelated Chan/Zen Buddhist and Daoist cosmology and themes, particularly in the latter half of the text. Sadly only 1.5 chapters of their Dao Companion ritual (aka marathon s*x that involves some pretty :0 kinks). And no extras ;-; very sad. ... more>>
