♂ ✧˚ · genuinely good bl recommendations · ˚✧ ♂

read a few bls when i was younger but never managed to get into them until jan '22 since whichi have read them everyday. decided to make my own list to filter out the genuinely amazing ones.
happy reading :)
☯ main story reviews! i rarely read non-mc side stories.
❀ every story will have a number /10 with it; assume anything above 7.5 is amazing. i am just stingy with high numbers.
❆ there may be some older stories i dont like anymore on here lol

another fantasy bl! our mc is tasked to save the world and wakes up in a world where he's engaged to the grand duke. i have nothing to say but THEYRE SO CUTE??? it should be illegal for characters to be this damn lovable... their dynamic is so sweet, lives up to the name so well. idc much about stuff like this but their size difference is also so damn cute. with the plot picking up, this is a must read for bl fantasy lovers!! peak romance!!

an interspecies romance ft a human attending a school for monsters. what puts this one on my list is the author's brilliance at writing interpersonal relationships and telling the stories of not only the mcs who learn to trust and love each other, but all the other characters that come and go. 141 chapters feel like a lot but i can still recall so many moments that touched my heart. the kind of writing that is rare in bl with a story that just grows on you

i love the concept of this story!! our mc finds himself in a transmigrated into the weak body of the main character of a dating otome game fantasy world and resolves to find an ending that isn't romantic. this is such a slow burn ripe with certain tropes, but it also focuses on non-romantic plotlines, building other aspects of the story too. super cute & engaging!

What can a LIST do?
