ToraGiO ...let's maybe not recommend the novels filled with smut/borderline rape to a beginner reader? While I haven't read Are you Addicted or Rebirth of a Supermodel yet (though I'm definitely reading Rebirth of a Supermodel, though Are you Addicted doesn't really look like my thing), Kill the Lights has some relatively explicit smut that is pretty rape-like(if not just plain out rape) and while it's a great story(loved it!!) I think first ease people in with the lighter BL's first, than give them the slightly more hardcore stuff if they like it. Not saying your suggestions are wrong in any way, just that we might want to give them lighter stuff to start them out with, we're not trying to traumatize people XD (Sorry, I just remember when a friend of mine suddenly showed another friend a really explicit picture from a BL manga and the friend freaked XD)

    Why do I get the feeling I should start changing the title of this chat to 'Intro and Discussion: BL' ( ｡_｡)? By the way, for anyone who wishes to know, I found/started reading a whole bunch of good bl's recently!!! So happy o(≧∇≦o) ~~

    bookworm375 YESSSS! :) What do you mean for no reason, BL gives you every reason to be excited :P Fujoshis and fudanshis are all welcome!!! :)

        Marold as a girl ...the reason i like bl novel is because im bored of shoujo novel? The main characters are charming obviously and i dont have to read about girl's body part or feeling which im not keen to know.

          Linleybabe Oof, sorry this is so late, Legendary Master's Wife was a meh for me, sorry, I ended up stopping a little bit after their firs actual smex scene. It just didn't capture my attention enough for me to read all 400+ chapters that are currently translated after getting up to somewhere in the 200s. I instead put my focus on some other BLs, specially some of the new ones that I ended up either binging because I was waiting for the to stack up first or reading the raws because they weren't translated yet. Some of the ones, like The Reader and Protagonist Definitely Have to be in True Love not only match your description of cute MC that you want to hug with devilishly handsome possessive seme, but is also fully translated with 96 chapters and gives me enough smexy scenes within those 96 chappies that I am in bliss, though that meta ending was funny af XD

              IDK if anyone still reads this thread, but I found out that someone posted an original BL novel on QI and I hear it's pretty good if you haven't read it yet, here's the link:

              https://www.webnovel.com/book/10856860905190805/The-Last-X

              To those who have read it, what do you think? I haven't read it yet but since it got recommended I'm going to read it after posting this :). I hear it has detailed sm*t so I'm looking forward to it :)

                you want to ruff your stuff go find some gay porn, internet is like 95% porn anyway shouldn't be too hard. novels here are entertainment not something to make your body lubricate itself from mental anticipation

                  yu_ba_bu_neng Please, if I wanted gay porn, I would go watch gay porn, not read BL novels. Yes, I do like some smexy stuff in the BL novels I read but it doesn't mean I want just plain out porn XD, it's just the extra big cherry on top of the characters and plot for me since most light novels in general do not have detailed smut in them. The novel itself is a BL system novel like QWTFOTD, which I do enjoy to read in general regardless of any detailed sex in it or not.

                  The other reason I mentioned it is because as mentioned before, often times in BL novels, or just light novels in general, they do not have detailed smut, so I thought it should be mentioned on one hand to warn those not into reading about two dudes going at it in detail even if they enjoy BL novels in general, and on the other hand to give a little excitement to people that do want this kind of thing in their BL novels.

                  Also, if you read anything above my last post, which you obviously haven't since you managed to respond like 2 min after I posted my message, you would realize that I read all sorts of BL novels, and not just because they have smut in them. I agree novels are here for entertainment, it just so happens that we have different ideas and tastes, I find BL novels very entertaining, and I guess you do not, to which I can only ask why on earth are you commenting on a thread clearly stating BL novels in the heading?

                    CKtalon Really? Can you tell me which one? Do you have a link :)?

                    Also, since I can't edit my comment above, other original BL novels I've found are
                    JACK the KING: https://www.webnovel.com/book/11509283405415705
                    rebirth of an otaku: https://www.webnovel.com/book/11037963506240105

                    idk if any of these are good, and they don't have many chapters, but I'm going to try them out later :).

                        CKtalon OMG! Is this true? Do you have any idea when it's going to happen approximately?! 😍

                            Silver_Moon789 Has nobody posted the bl tag list for you poor souls yet? Just have a look at it. Some novels on there seem to be tagged wrongly but the rest should be alright. At least they seemed that way when I had a look at it :)

                            Here a reminder: If you're using the website (not the app) and read a novel that is bl, then don't forget to add the appropriate tag on the detail page of the novel. Only if at least 5 people add it will it be displayed there visibly (the novel will show up on the tag list sooner, though). Only like this will it be easier to find novels we like so please don't forget to do this :)
