I'm giving you guys a challenge Because I'm finding it really hard to find new novels to read. What I do like: 1.Strong or Intelligent MC. Also love a calm and mature MC. 2.Don't care whether it's translated or not. 3.I do like it when the MC has a life outside of the Ml. Like we often see novels where the MC keeps getting help from the ML in his professional life be it helping him clear up people creating scandals or helping financially. I however like it when the MC is his own help and the romance with the ML doesn't take up his whole life. 4.I love a badass MC. 5.I love MC's with a high EQ. 6.I love power couples. And yes, I've already read Quickly Wearing the Face of the Devil. 7.I don't mind smut. In fact I really love reading a power bottom MC. What I don't want: 1.Absolutely abhor bl novels where the mc or his partner is overly feminized- either through describing them as petite, or seeing them as a 'small animal', etc. 2.I also hate novels where either the mc or the ml is in a horrible condition and therefore is very reliant on the other when the novel begins. For eg: Novels where one of them is a slave to the other, where one of them is a replacement for something, etc. But sometimes some novels do it with out the MC losing his dignity like that novel where the MC comes back and decides to live with his boss. 3.Absolutely hate Mpregs and ABO. 4.Kind of dislike those MC's which are portrayed as either oblivious, or overly kind. I really don't like those novels where the ML falls for the MC because of his 'pure eyes'. 5.Dislike incest or even novels where they aren't really blood related but grew up with the Ml as the MC's nominal father/brother. Eg: Novels like Rebirth of the wolfish silkbottom pants 6.Ancient novels as they are often hard to read. 7.Tragedy/Angst 8.I don't really like one of the characters being seen as the 'women' in the relationship. Or calling the MC 'bunny rabbit' and the ML 'wolf'. I'll be really love it if you guys can help me out here.
I present you these :3 - faraway wanderer - silent reading - death progress bar (my fav) - golden stage - Laws of the Other World (my fav 2) These are the ones tht came up on top my head
There's Rebirth of a Supermodel and King of Classical Music I think both of them are slow-burn, no ML suddenly falling in love and willing to 100% abandon everything for the MC, the MC already is powerful on their own rights, the ML (as far as I remember) let them grow and even think that they should improve themselves as MC is slowly growing to be even better than them (I love power couple who encourage each other to grow better). In the Rebirth of Supermodel, the MC sometimes dress like a woman (?) if I remember correctly, it was work-related situation and there's no feminization whatsoever.
It's a horror novel Card Room It's a story about MC and ML died (separately, they got into accident) then both get transfer into a game with cards at the same time(though they are separated for a while then they meet in a game then constantly be each other after that as a teammates) and need to solve them (won't go into detail but the game have a very good setting, i approved) Yes the MC and ML did meet very early but MC is very capable of taking care of himself and ML is also very strong but have weakness that MC can be of help, MC is highly intelligent, have high EQ They also realise their feelings after like 150 ish chapter? But they put on hold cause they want to focus and go back to their world faster since no one is capable of doing so
Interstellar power couple (it has mpreg but via plants but have everything u r asking ) Don't pick up boyfriends from trashbin (mc is all you are looking for but slow romance and Ml is all every girl is looking for ) Superstar Aspirations King of classical music Agreement of Being Gay for 30 Days Everyone thinks I like him My artist is reborn (mc is ceo/ god of wealth rather Ml is reborn singer , got some supernatural elements)
God Level Summoner - power couple MC. MC is calm & mature. Both MC & ML are professional gamers & captains of opposite teams but inspite of that their relationship is drama free. Don't pick up boyfriends from the trashbin - Quick Transmigration. MC abuses slags & helps original hosts take back control of their life. ML is the system I have a secret - Quick Transmigration. MC has to solve various mysteries. Game Loading - Really fun read. Even though ML is more powerful than MC, their relationship is very equal, if not slight tilted towards MC. Reborn otakus code of conduct in the apocalypse - Reborn MC has no powers but he manages to lead a fairly stable life. ML is a metal ability who was rescued by MC.
I tried it out and then quit it cause I didn't really find it intersting as the first arc didn't really have a proper ending...it felt like a cope out
I also want to nominate Tattoo ! It's short, sweet and painful at the same time, fluffy and has realistic development. What I love is both of them are mature, decisive, and not dragging things. There is some angst tho, but not much.
The one I already read in novelupdates that might fit the criteria I think The Big Landlord Reborn Otaku in Apocalypse Earth is Online What is the use of this great beauty? mc is a crosstalk artist. ML is a lead singer of band. They were peer, same age. No op at all. https://forum.novelupdates.com/threads/bl-shonen-ai-yaoi-novels-recs.84327/ To mtl probably Beast Sage A lot of novel actually have seme Mc too
Epiphanies of Rebirth Moonlight on the Snowfield The Reborn Otaku’s Code of Practice for the Apocalypse More Than a Few Blessings
Epiphanies of Rebirth If I didn't look at the tags, I wouldn't know that it was BL, at all. The last time I read, there's barely romance. I'm stacking up chapters before binge reading
