Little_Goddess I guess mine wasn't worth the look :sob:
Serious note, I honestly don't know. It's all perception.
There's some select books that gets feature and reader love. A vast majority are in the underground catalog of Webnovel. Especially those where the character development is emotional, mature and requires the reader to be open to vulnerabilities. Not many readers look for or can find those.
BL is the more popular of the LGBTQ niche and tends to get features on a select range from time to time. I guess you could check out the BL books here.
This is one of the best BL I, personally, can recommend here. Well written, excellent grammar and totally a hidden gem. Sweet Dreams
GL is likely the unspoken genre here and 90% of them are in underground catalog Unfortunately the only one I had been following was removed since it wasn't doing well. You're less likely to find a completed GL book here. I noticed there's another post that's gathering a list. You could probably check it out for hits> W/W post
I hope that helps.
Note to anyone else. Poster asked for rec, so I gave. Since we don't have DM, couldn't see any easier other option to answer to Poster question. Pinky promise I won't derail the thread any more.
