Heyo I’ve recently been thinking about the first novel i’ve ever read in nu that brought me into this massive world of BL novels. To the point that I now can MTL despite the bad grammar from time to time, lmao. So, cuz of that, I would also like to know what other’s first experience is like, I guess you can call this a BL nostalgic thread hehe~ -My very first BL novel was: Love Stop Rumors -How I got to find that: NO CLUE HAHA, my memory completely disappeared for that -Thoughts: It was pretty interesting, funny thing is, the second novel I read after that was Mo Dao Zu Shi, imagine a newbie reading a chinese cultivation novel, oh how fun that was Note: Novel only~ My first BL overall was a manga but that doesn’t matter
I started with anime series sekaiitchi hatsukoi and i watched many of them till i reached manga and webcomics. The manhua Lord of the Mysteries got me hooked so much that I wanted to know further story. Then I found that it was originally a novel and i completed it. My first bl was Quickly wear the face of devil and I got hooked in QT novels. I still love to read QT novels and sometimes rebirth BL.
Now that you mentioned that, the first novel i’ve read must’ve also been adapted to manga/hua/hwa I just have no clue what it was though hehe
I started with Yuri On Ice . Then slowly made my way into the BL world. MDZS donghua/novel is what got me really into BL novels.
Mine was how to Survive as a Villain. I started reading the manhua and got hooked... I absolutely had to know what happened next, so I found the novel. But my first intro to BL was also from Yuri on Ice-- like faxel.
My first BL journey started when I watched the Thai drama " Waterboyy: the series " later I binged on watching Thai BL dramas one by one ( I got addicted ). For novel, I really forgot, may be it was < How to secretly > sadly there is no English translated book now. It's a Thai novel, about one of the CP's from the drama “ Love by Chance ” goes with the novel of same name. Thailand was more flourishing in BLs when I got in the loophole of BL.
My first bl is boku no pico lol I should not have stayed up late at 12 am and search for anime recommendation and dive into that YouTube algorithm rabbit hole
Quickly Wear the Face of the Devil! I still remember the characters and plot up to this day and I read the chapters when they originally came out.
My god, your first experience must've been a huge shock *pats* Interestingly enough, I've actually rarely come across a thai bl novels for the past years, but Tons for tv series lol (Sotus my first)
I’ve been reading bl manga for years. But the first bl novel I read was “The Legendary Master’s Wife.” That’s why it’ll always have a place in my heart.
