Thrilling, Exciting BL/Shounen-ai

A list of BL that keep you on the edge of your seat, whether it be from action and war across space-time, dramatic betrayals and reunions, or angst and pining. 
I'll give a brief comment about genre, any major TWs, and completion status, but if you're into well-written, plot-heavy, fascinating BL, you should find something you like!

My Starry Sky

Genre(s): Drama / Slice of Life / Shounen Ai / Webtoons

Shounen-ai, drama. MC (uke) is bullied and 'abused' a lot (putting in quotations because everything is not quite what it seems, but he definitely does experience a lot of pain), but he's a strong character, and the seme DOES experience a lot of growth and repents a lot. It's very satisfying, but be prepared to hate him and be stressed out for a while (which only indicates how good of a drama this is, really!)

Author(s): Queensa,Ppyong
Genre(s): Mystery / Psychological / Shounen Ai / webtoons

Psychological, mystery, murder, shounen-ai (haven't seen much romance, but it's ongoing and the plot is very interesting so far!)
It's rare to find psychological mysteries with real crime that are so interesting. The MC is just helpless enough to worry while all the cogs in the machine move around him, but the bits and pieces we're dropped make us question. There is stalking/kidnapping/a genuine murderer lol, but no sexual assault/smut as of where I've read, only interesting criminal dynamics.

Author(s): Lee Seon-ui
Genre(s): Drama / Mystery / Psychological / Sci-fi / Shounen Ai / webtoons

Psychological, drama, mystery, sci-fi, shounen-ai, completed. There's a LOT of mind-games, manipulation, and toxic power dynamics/power struggle with the characters, and it's pretty interesting, but the ending was very abrupt and unsatisfying, made it feel kinda empty and meaningless. The story itself was pretty surprising, so if you like toxic but intriguing relationships, this is great for you
