[KGBrightwell]

As the title says. Not looking for self-promotion here. Have you read something you really liked? There are a LOT of BL comics, but fewer novels. Help make it easier to find the good ones.

Drop your recommendation and maybe check out some of the ones you see here!

I'll start things off. (I'm looking at you @Namiar)

Summary A super-famous Kpop Idol is in love with his best friend and bandmate. He has a torturous time being forced to spend time with his (allegedly) straight crush. And since they are one of the more popular ships, he has to play up their chemistry for the crowd.

What I like about it This is NOT fanfiction and is not modeled on any particular band. You don't need to be a fan of Kpop to enjoy it. And the characters are so well written. You will fall in love. Trust me.

I'll just drop the ones here that I'm currently reading cus they're all good!

Summary: So Jake has a hard time at school and is bullied a lot, because of something that happened. (Can't say what, it would spoil some major stuff.) But he meets this guy Damien who is very interested in him. The story slowly revealed what has happened and why and Damien and Jake grow closer.
What I like about it: Despite the story having a magic system and an interesting story, it's quite heavy on fluffy moments between jake and Damien, so if you like those: this is your story.

Summary: Casper is a human wreck who meets a guy who is too perfect who seems interested in him. It turns out he is a little bit too perfect and Casper is kidnapped by this guy who tries to keep Casper from hurting himself.
What I like about it: The story is gritty, grounded and realistic, despite also having a magic element to it. You will both love and despise the characters and the writing is breathtaking. Not a story for the faint of heart tho.

Summary: Inho moves to a different country to win back his girlfriend, but instead falls for her charismatic boss Stephen. Drama happens after that.
What I like about it: It seems like a typical BL at first, but as the story goes on the characters get way more depth to them. It's generally a light, funny read full of drama.

I really like this one and would definitely recommend it! (has foul language, violence, and mature scenes) to explain what the story is at its core (without spoiling!) it's basically a mafia love story between a low-class dropout trying to make ends meet for himself, his little sister, and his mother and a high-class drug dealer who doesn't feel welcome in his family. (there are a lot more details in the real summary but I wanted to make mine short)

Aww thank's for the rec @KGBuchanan

I know this is Premium, but it's one of my favorite stories of all time:

The Mortician of Avalon | Tapas

Summary: Interrogate your soulmate. Fall in love. Then... chaos.
What you like about it: It is beautifully written. Honest. And so addicting you just can't put it down!

I'ma figure out a free one too, for good measure I haven't read a whole lot of the free ones yet though bc I'm new, but I'll pop back in once I have some I've read far enough.

[KGBrightwell]

I'm reading this one right now. And agree with the good review.

[GloamingCat]

Summary: Bratty naïve prince gets mad at this particular gloomy classmate because he refuses to deal with his prince bullshit. Now the prince is obsessed with him.
What I like about it: Honestly I hate reading novels, but this one is so good that I not only read it enterily but I also paid for it (actually watched ads, but you get it). The narration is funny, it has lots of heartwarming momments, the characters are charismatic and unique, and the pacing is just right. Also I'm a sucker for the enemies-to-lovers trope XD

You probably had seen this one. It is really cool. It’s mind bending & written with flair

The Stains Beneath Our Skin | Tapas

[2_YuiAkane_2]

I fell in love too!

[Crusoe]

It's such a good story, really need to catch up with it

[Zorianna]

Summary: Hyeon Falken travels abroad for work to escape his toxic home. Instead, he strolls right into the wolf’s den—literally.
What I like: I love the story and how it revolves more around Norse mythology and takes place in New Zealand, it's got unique details that makes it stand out amoung the others. Plus the writing is great and has lots of good details and romantic scenes.

I just subscribed to that the other day when I found it on Twitter. Now I'm seriously excited to start reading it!

[MaeRose]

Thank you for recommending my work @GoldenHoneydew

A few BL novels that I love have already been recommended on this thread, but here are some that I have started reading and enjoy so far.

Summary: A cute romance story following the lives of three omega brothers, and how romance in each of their lives blossom (well one brother is married but something exciting happens for him)

What you like about it: It's a really sweet story set in the omegaverse and the different characters experience romance in different stages of their life (one is married, one is college student and the other is in final year of high school I believe).

I have a recommendation: CodeName Messiah. It has a really good plot which I won't spoil. And it had been getting less views lately so I thought id put it here to support the author. (
