♂ ✧˚ · genuinely good bl recommendations · ˚✧ ♂

read a few bls when i was younger but never managed to get into them until jan '22 since whichi have read them everyday. decided to make my own list to filter out the genuinely amazing ones.
happy reading :)
☯ main story reviews! i rarely read non-mc side stories.
❀ every story will have a number /10 with it; assume anything above 7.5 is amazing. i am just stingy with high numbers.
❆ there may be some older stories i dont like anymore on here lol

an idol that writes fanfictions and a group member that finds out! very funny story and if you like idols like me it's also interesting to imagine a group member writing his own fanfiction. i don't think there's actual smut, though, if i remember right. still a very fun read, i even liked the second couple.

you know those fucked up highschool bls with the childhood friends and the possessive-ass seme who is every flavor of red flag obsessed with the mc? yea, this is one of those stories, except it manages to avoid the kinds of things that screw them over: no rape, no weird and unnecessary love triangle, no prolonged misunderstandings. this is hella tropey but a fun read if you like the tropes.

handsome animal cafe owner x the human version of catnip except he has the opposite effect on humans. really fluffy story with beautiful art. a pleasant read overall but the ending seems very rushed, far too much for my liking, tbh. just one of those casual, light reads.

What can a LIST do?

You may feel your favorite manga should be gathered together into distinct categories for your own reference and, now, you can do this with a LIST. After you've created your list or lists, you can proudly recommend them to other manga fans to showcase and share your taste in manga.
