My Personal Treasure Trove of BL
My favorite BL novels. There's a mix of popular, moderately popular, and niche titles, and I'm still working on the list. The ratings are just for fun, and I had to give them four stars. I'm leaving out the hugely popular ones.

Modern BL Without Fantasy Elements
As the title says, urban slice-of-life, school life, showbiz, and so on. No supernatural or fantasy elements like being reborn, transmigrating, or encountering ghosts.

Is there no extra for this? It's nice, but the ending is too crude.
Very simple, even a little crude. But it depicts the truest appearance of homosexuality. After reading it, I felt sad and moved. It's more about empathy. A rare article.
Has anyone ever been so moved by a novel that he couldn't sleep at night? The first time I read this novel was not on Jinjiang, and the ending I saw was not the current one. I cried so much that night after watching it that my heart felt empty, wondering why the two of us were not together. My friends will laugh at me after hearing this. You just have a strong sense of involvement, okay, whatever. Later, I finally saw such a happy ending on Jinjiang. Although it was a little rushed, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. I personally have read some Danmei BL stories, and I like "Watching Chess Without Speech" the most. With all due respect, the language of this one is not the most gorgeous, and the plot is not the most engaging, but I just like it, probably because it is the most realistic, flesh-and-blood, and attached. The two big boys are not just for nothing, but have a origin. From complaining when they were young, to avoiding when they grow up, to further intimacy, to alienation and suspicion, and finally to understanding their true feelings and understanding that they cannot be separated from each other. Maybe this is not the most beautiful Danmei novel, but it moved me the most. I used to not reject homosexuality, but now I am gradually more accepting of it, and I even admire and have a good impression of the love between boys. Haha, isn't it said that heterosexuals will save mankind and homosexuals will save the earth? Recently, there have been very popular posts on Weibo and Douban about a girl who boldly broke into a gay bar and then felt that she would rather be single and give up handsome men to handsome men. Beautiful relationships can always move people, whether such relationships occur between men and women, which we are accustomed to accept, or between the same sex, which many people cannot accept. Although the language is not gorgeous, it is smooth and neat, and the psychological description is clean and in place. Although the plot is not suspenseful, it is reasonable and the development has twists and turns. Qin Yan never said those words directly to Xie Qi's face. He watched the game without saying a word, but it was all without saying a word. Or maybe this is the love between boys. Although it can be clearly seen from the setting of the article who is the attacker and who is the receiver, the feelings belonging to boys are direct, deep and implicit. There is no little girl's chirping, coquettishness and noisy. Some are calm, rational, entangled and hesitant, and some are boy-style quarreling and scolding. When I read the article for the first time, I guessed that the author was a boy. Later, after reading other texts by Suter, I thought it was a girl. Haha, it doesn't matter anymore.
Watching chess without saying a word is my eternal god, because it enters the original world. I have read many great novels such as Tiantian, Manman, and Musuli. But the most impressive thing is still the story of the two of them.
I really thought they were going to be together. This couple kept going back to the starting point. It made me so uncomfortable. Fortunately, the last one ended up with he. I felt that this couple was very entangled. I was a little worried after watching the ending. I was always worried about their future. But think about how they can stick to each other for love now, and they will be able to go on if they encounter difficulties in the future, even though it will be very difficult.
I always get full marks on the questions!
It's very interesting, but why does the ending of this he make people feel even more sad? It's like a dream in the mirror moon, when Xie Qi was hit by a car and couldn't pick up his courage in one night.
2014.12.18 Supplementary article record, very realistic article, the background is still troubled by homosexual identity. At first, I didn't like Xie's attitude very much. I thought he was a bit frivolous and only pursued temporary happiness. I also don't like that he tricked Qin into taking the postgraduate entrance examination abroad instead. But after he understood his feelings, he seemed determined to pursue them. Qin was restrained by reality and kept giving in and escaping. He looked a little aggrieved, but it couldn't be said that it was all his fault. Thanks to the author for giving two endings, you can choose the one you like.
After reading the full text, I cried and was so angry.
The author writes really well.
