Recommendations Yuri Recommendations

[HungrySheep]

I've read nearly every yuri novel under the sun.

But I need more.

If you have any epic yuri novel recommendations, feel free to throw 'em my way! No smut, please.

Officially published novels and self-published novels (like SH webnovels) are both welcome!

 

[TotallyHuman]

most epic yuri novels I've read are in Chinese or Japanese

Same here (translated, though)! Which one's your favorite?

it's untranslated, but "unscrupulous means" (不择手段) had me at the edge of the seat the entire time and "king of poison" (病毒の王) is a geniune masterpiece.

As for translated, I just remembered a yuri in which the world will end in ten days. Short but I loved it

Thank you! I can read Chinese, so I'll look for the first one and I'll try and search for the apocalyptic yuri novel XD

 

[Sabruness]

are you open to fanfics?

 

[LilRora]

We're Not So Different, You And I on SH (you probably already read it but it's one of my favorites), QuietValerie's Digital Galaxies recently free to read on SH, those both have trans mc. For those that don't, I only remember CASE [GL] at the moment excluding the popular ones.

Also Tinea and Leah, as well as Bioshifter, both on RR and both really good.

 

[TotallyHuman]

There is also Binary Soul which you may have read

 

[DeviousColony69]

'I'm In Love With The Villainess'

 

[Bobple]

I'm sorry to say, but if you have read every yuri novel under the sun, then the only ones left are the ones hidden in the shade, and those ones definitely don't met your "No smut" requirement".


Beside that, everyone has submitted good options.

Yes, definitely!

Wow, that's a throwback! I remember reading that one ages ago, thanks for reminding me XD

'I'm In Love With The Villainess'

That's one of my favorites so far. I'm a sucker for villainesses and incidentally, "Please Bully Me, Miss Villainess" is currently one of my top webnovels. Waiting for the translation is pain though.

Also Tinea and Leah, as well as Bioshifter, both on RR and both really good.

I actually haven't read any of those, but I'll check 'em out.

True... Which is a shame. Honestly, I'm chasing vibes like "Girls Kingdom" by Nayo, but I don't see novels like that often (if at all).

ahh, that's some good shit right there. been a while since i re-read it.

Yes, definitely!

okie dokie then.

Spoiler: TLOU 2 - Dont read if you hate Abby's guts. do read if you want quality what-if sequel style story

Spoiler: Girls und Panzer - not specifically yuri focused but at least two yuri couples (one including the protag). very much a slow burn

Spoiler: GuP - More blatantly gay with a cute odd-couple romance.

Spoiler: GuP - more gay with cute fluff (according to the reviews i peeked at)

[The Eldest Martial Sister Gave Up Treatment.]

This one is super fun, I straight up binged more than a thousand chapters of this instead of preparing for the most important exam of my life.

[I was Reincarnated as a Side Heroine in a Yuri Game, and with all my Power I will Protect my Favorite Character.]

This one is pretty standard, but still, very good.

[Outrageous.]
[My CP Rumor With The Movie Queen Has Gone Viral.]

These two are both entertaining, though the latter one is more lighthearted. Not straight up smut, just very slightly, and they're Chinese works anyway, so the authors can't actually write smut even if they want to.
Pretty sure you have read all of these, but just in case.

 

[TotallyHuman]

My CP Rumor With The Movie Queen Has Gone Viral

I don't like it because there is a lot of sex that tethers on dubcon and the relationship itself is like your average josei top ml and useless fl but they both are women

Oh, oh, these you maybe read but anyway, I liked them. They are on NU.

I was tripping there, it's been a while since I've finished them, only the latter one got restricted on the smut I believe, the author had to cut quite a lot of scenes.

Thank you! I don't read much fanfiction so I didn't even know there were GuP fanfics out there. Will definitely be giving these a look.

I hope you still passed that exam ;-;

I read the first two, but I'll check out the others as well. Thank you!

"Beautiful Barking Tsundere" sounds really funny.

Citrus.

That was one of the first works I read! Probably one of my favorite manga even now.

 

[Sabruness]

Thank you! I don't read much fanfiction so I didn't even know there were GuP fanfics out there. Will definitely be giving these a look.

there's a surprising amount but most of them are poor quality and/or lazy self inserts. Dust Devils is one of the best and the only other one i've come across that can rival it for depth and quality (and which i forgot to add to the list) is https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13498164/1/Hell-On-Tracks which is another yuri slowburn that blends very good knowledge of canon with an ability to create original chars that really blend well with canon characters.

yeah, i'm super picky about fanfics just because of the mountains of crap fanfics that are out there.

 

[Kalliel]

I hope you still passed that exam ;-;

I still did, which was great.

Girl Friends will always be my favorite Yuri Manga. Adachi to Shima is a fine light novel also if you're into that.

Anything in my sig is yuri if you want to read something on Scribblehub. Sleeping Princess might be interesting to you if you read Citrus. Good luck, have fun, and happy yuri hunt!
