    Hello! Can anyone recommend me good BL novels where basically the couple are not supposed to be associated / on good terms with each other? (Ex: Police x Criminal, citizens of two warring countries, different species, Royalty x Commoner, etc).
    I'm just looking forward to read the couple face the difficulties that come from their different identities and responsibilities, so even if what comes to your mind isn't 100% matched or has problematic contents, feel free to mention it! Thank you! :blobsmilehappyeyes: (story that isn't too dark is preferred tho)

    Here's a little list of similar novels that I've read:
    Little Mushroom
    Cold Sands
    Heaven Official's Blessing
    How to Survive As a Villain

    I think Founder of Diabolism fits somewhat, the MC is supposedly evil and the ML is supposedly righteous, not that they care, but the people around them lose their minds about it on occasion (and you've probably already read it).
    Turns Out I'm Crazy has a victim/ captor dynamic with some twists and added issues.
    Black Butterfly is cop/psycho but the translator stopped posting so who knows if it will ever be completely translated.
    if you want QW
    Strategy to Capture That Scum Gong
    Heroic Death System

    I read Please Don't Eat Me in one go! It was delicious :blobmelt:
    The others look interesting too, thank you!

    I've read through FOD halfway and been meaning to continue reading it after it's completed, I remember about it now thanks to you XD
    Black Butterfly looks really really interesting. Do you know how many chapters are there in total and where I can read the raws? It only stated it's completed in COO.

    Thank you for the recs!:blobReach:

    They all look good I don't know where to start:blobnosebleed:, thank you!

    Black Butterfly is Korean and I think it was actually published in paper book form. I don't know if it has an online version or not but there are probably epub or pdfs out there if you look.

    The Husky and His White Cat Shizun
    (Don't be fooled by the summary like me, this is NOT a cute fluffy BL literally about a dumb husky and white cat as I originally thought lmao :facepalm: Similar to The Founder of Diabolism in that the MC is supposedly evil and the ML is supposedly righteous, standing on opposite sides. Such a wild ride with quality characters and translations, I loved it so much but it does get very dark so may not suit your tastes.)

    Golden Stage & Global University Entrance Examination ( the MC and ML stand on opposing factions)

    The Ugly Empress is another option (but unfortunately updates in the later chapters are far and few between )

    I'm scared of reading dropped projects;; QAQ

    I've seen a lot of fanart about 2ha, I had always thought it's gonna be as comedic as Scum Villain:sweating_profusely: I'll definitely give it a try, thank you!

    I dont wheter you read Husky and His White Cat Shizun, but its master-discpline xianxia where them entering a romantic relationship is looked down. Also story starts with mc waking up in the past after in his first life he destroyed all the poweful sects and become emperor that also adds to the forbidden level. Espcially with his relationship with his shizun during this time.

    I'm currently reading Want to Ascend? Then Fall in Love. It might suit your criteria
    The two MCs are from opposite sects/sides (their cultivation methods different, so the 2 sides hate each other)
    It is some kind of quick transmigration (i guess). The 2 MCs need to do missions to repair Heavenly Staircase, so they often jump down to normal-people world, sealing off their memory and live a normal life, which often result in situations where they need to fall in love (to complete mission) but their identity hinder their love
    like former-kingdom prince and new-kingdom prince, the latter took away the former's country. Or father and son, not blood-related
