Y'all looking for BL/GL novel suggestions? 'Cause I am! (You may self-promote!)

[apocalyptysm]

Name: thin

Type: BL, slice of life

Author: thatonevoice

Why I Recommend it: this is my attempt at delving into issues like homophobia, growing up with absentee parents, expectations of overachievement from your children--all packed into a somehow-lighthearted novel

[doriantorres112]

Name: Caesar's Attraction
Type: bl, drama
Author: Dorian Torres
Why I Reccomend it: it deals with Caesar trying to convince his family that he's still the same person despite his sexuality. Each family member expresses different attitude towards Caesar's sexuality, like his dad is in-denial, middle bro is disgust and etc. At the same time, Caesar is dating his neighbor.

[Lazu]

Name: I'm the Prince's beard

Type: BL, but kinda slow on the uptake for that, since the lead is female.

Author: Lazu

Why I Recommend it: I love a lot of the "Reincarnated into novel/otome games/another fantasy world" and wanted to try my hand at it myself, except I kept thinking about how fun it would be if it wasn't a "The marriage was fake and then they fell in love" kind of story, but more of a "The marriage was fake because one party was gay" kinda story. And I really just need the kind of lead that Amy, the female lead, lets me write.
She is fangirl incarnated, and having to navigate a manshuvanistic nobility world as a modern woman is just not that easy.

So I recommend it to people that like that kind of stuff as well, likes comedy, and likes a very chaotic female lead that stans BL

[mx_Jinn]

This is great idea for a thread! Gonna scour through this after I’ve cooked dinner.

Name: Bard Romance
Type: This is a GL novel that is a fantasy romance, though both characters in it are pansexual the main romance will be between women.
Author: Shaz
Why I Recommend it: A fresh take at a romance set in a D&D homebrew setting that is heavily influenced by south asian culture.

[emrowene]

Name: Fractured Magic
Type: There's a number of LGBTQ+ characters - the main pairing is BL, but the secondary pairing is GL
Author: Em Rowene
Why I Recommend it: (Oof, this one's hard when you're the author). The story takes place in a quasi-Victorian secondary world fantasy setting. It combines elements from classic gothic fiction (Dracula, Frankenstein, etc.) with classic fantasy. I like to think the characters are dynamic and interesting, too, and I try to make the lgbtq+ rep as authentic as possible (as a queer creator myself).

[ScarletDemon]

Here to offer my own two:
Name: Shrouds and Stilettoes
Type: Technically its a BL, but it is less of the realm of what you think of with BL and leans more towards just an LGBT romance with two guys
Author: Me
Why You Should Read It: High Fantasy world where two princes of war-torn kingdoms find themselves swept up in a whirlwind romance, what's not to love? Especially when one of the princes is a dragon, loves sword-fighting and bold and the other is a demure, soft and feminine fairy prince.

And the second, my newest novel:
Name: The Wizard of Wall Street
Type: BL, but with lots of other LGBT+ rep
Author: Again, Me
Why you should read it: A spicy romance between a rich Wall Street exec who has some...strange secrets and is hiding something, far from human...and a guy who works the graveyard shift at a diner who happens to be able to see through everything around him and can plainly see the secrets the exec is trying to keep hidden.

[otaku_rose]

Name: The Two Alphas of Rosewood Creek
Type: BL with a little mix of everything else.
Author: Otaku_Rose
Why I Recommend it: A new twist on the werewolf genre. A new kid discovers his dirty secret was a lie while dealing with two rival alphas in the small town of Rosewood creek. With more drama to assume when he discovers his true identity.

[sarahmcsquish]

Name: Paw Prints
Type: Comedy, LGBT, Fantasy (all the women are lesbians!)
Author: Sarah McSquish (me!)
Why I Recommend it: This is hard when you're the author! It's an adventure of four different characters figuring out their lives together, while crammed into an RV. There's fun, there's mystery, and a dash of slow burn romance between a pair of leading ladies.

[Breezy]

Name: Nonconforming

[panpanwuvmgau]

Hello! Recommending mine:

Name: Stranded
Type: BL
Author: Panpanwuv
Why I Recommend it: It's a merfolk-themed BL that doesn't follow "The Little Mermaid"-fairytale plot. It features its own merfolk lore, mystery, and an outspoken, headstrong merman.
