i didn't read them yet but i saw many people recommending Priest's novels. it seems that she has diverse genre of works with a very well-developed story with great characters. you can check them out here: https://pipi.carrd.co/
Here are some of my favorites! They are all historical BL novels.
Historic Fantasy + Transmigration:
Peerless immortal surrounded by demonic deciples
Need to propose to seven men, what to do
The Demon King always thinks I’m secretly in love with him
how to survive as a villain
Not easy being a master
Villain rehab plan
Reborn in a slash game
Historical Fantasy:
Yuwu
Sect Master and Psycho (this one has a very explicit rape scene so if that’s triggering don’t read it)
The White Cats Divine Scratching Post
Pure Historicals:
You’ve got mail
The Blind Concubine (only read this if you feel like crying lol it’s not a feel good and has a sad ending)
"Pulling Together a Villain Reformation Strategy" is good and reminds me a bit of both "scum villain" and "MDZS".
The MC is intelligent, if dense romantically, and BA. No whimpy uke here. ML is a smiley on the outside, black bellied on the inside, devoted puppy type. An equal partner to the MC. He actually has a personality which is a lot better than most ML's.
MC is a book transmigrator, system victim, reincarnator all at once.
The story begins after his first death and he wakes up in his "new" body. The mystery revolves around the how's and why's of not only his reincarnation, but the breaking the system and original story.
Might I also suggest "Surprise! The talent show is actually..."?
Premise is a young starlet walks through a door to what he thinks is his first audition for a talent show in modern China. Singing, dancing, rapping... He can do it all! He's sure to get center position and start his path to stardom! What he actually signs up for is much different.... Wait? What's with all this technology? Why is he in a transport to an alien planet with a bunch of burly men? Why are you handing him a gun? This is being televised?!
So begins a little rabbit's journey to become a fierce leopard in an interstellar survival show.
While the ML literally has an emotional lock and is OPAF, and the MC is all cuteness and light, reinforcing the old tropes, the world building is perfection and character growth is the focus of the story. Its magnificently written and translated. Bonus: it's completed.
It's not really like MDZS and other MXTX stories though. Still, I highly recommend.
Just finished reading MXTX's novels (MDZS, Scum Villain, Heavenly Official) and I'm looking for other similar novels that have lots of adventure and romance! The only other one I've heard of was 2HA. Please let me know if you have other recommendations!
