I’ve seen a few BL light novels, but haven’t really seen anything on recommendations for them or many similar titles. I was kind of wondering if it’s more of a format thing and yaoi mostly ends up as manga? Anyway, I’ve been on a danmei kick recently and wondered if there were any BL light novels people might recommend. I’m totally flexible on genre, but I do enjoy a slow burn. I figured this was the place to ask about light novels lol

I may have begun my journey of reading m/m romances published in different countries lol

Tiny update: I asked the folks over at r/lightnovels too and they said that j-novel knight has some. Looks like they have 4 standalones and 2 series :D
The standalones
-buying you on the day you were to die
- the azure dragon’s devotion: an offering of three centuries to you
-romance revived: an npc was the final boss’s love
-the despicable duke settles his affairs

The series
-finding my way to (you) in this MMO world
-So dearly reckless

Throughout high school I nagged my dad into reading just about every book I was assigned to read. It meant we could discuss Dracula and Frankenstein and lord of the flies. Anyway, at that point my dad still wasn’t much of a reader.

And then I recommended Brandon Sanderson. My dad has been turned into more of a reader than I am at this point. He’s read all of stormlight archives, mistborn, and shadow and bone. He’s currently reading through the dungeon crawler Carl series and is on book five I believe. He also enjoyed The Devils by Joe Abercrombie. While I’ve gotten him hooked on fantasy he also did enjoy reading project Hail Mary.

I feel like I’m shoveling coals on an old timey train. He’s read so many and I’ve exhausted my knowledge of fantasy books to recommend him.

Now, I am still a reader. It just is that I’m more into romance and light novels lately and I can’t in good conscience recommend that my father read danmei.

Here’s some more that he’s read:
Chronicles of narnia
Priory of the orange tree
Warbreaker
Yumi and the nightmare painter
Fahrenheit 451
Slaughterhouse five
Animal farm
1984
The silo series
Hunger games
Lord of the rings
The hobbit
