2026 Reading Log

I'll keep adding to this from time to time.

My Personal Favorites, Shared for Everyone to Enjoy

Guys, these are the best of the best, and all personal favorites! I bought every volume! Not every book I finish makes it onto this list; they have to be distinctive and memorable!

My Ratings

A reminder to myself.

Stress Relief: Lighthearted and Funny

Warm, harmonious, and heartwarming art; lighthearted, stress-relieving sweet treats; or absurd, nonsensical comedy. Whether it's family, friendship, romance...

Romance Focused on Relationships

Romance, romance, I only read romance

2025–2026 Favorites Chart: All Purchased

My standard is a 100% subscription rate, plus finishing the book and feeling that not having read it would be one of life's great regrets :D [Updated irregularly]

Lighthearted and Fun Reads

Sweet, satisfying, happy reads with heroines who never let anyone push them around. My previous list filled up, so here's a new one. It's still mostly fantasy romance, but there are some historical romances too.

An 11-Year Reader's List of God-Tier BG Novels

This list is only for incredible novels so good that even a guy who's only into virginal male leads can keep coming back to them in every season! I have over 10,000 novels in my collection, and I'll update this list daily with new gems!

Uncovering Hidden BG Gems

Some lesser-known stories that aren’t very popular but I think are pretty good. I prefer historical romance, though there may be a few other genres too.

Life Is Tough, So Give Me Some Sweet, Lighthearted Romance! BG

Light, sweet stories with simple plots and everyday life, no angst at all. Fellow fans, please recommend some! Also, I'm picky and don't read amnesia plots (bolded).

Adding more little by little

Qin Shi Huang, Serving Tea and Water

All are lighthearted, with no agonizing romance or major misunderstandings, and no annoying second male or female leads.

I only read stories where the male lead is pure in both body and heart!!!
