Currently Following: Yuri and GL
Everything I follow is so good... I’m so fed up with Jinjiang’s rating System. It won’t let me give everything five or four stars.
A Woman’s Must-Eat Beauty-Boosting Lesbian Medicinal Cuisine List
Must-read gems, both ongoing and complete. My squick: aggressive tops, and brooding, repressed tops who seem sex-obsessed but are really just teddy bears.
Worth Reading Again: GL
Read again and again (all five-star reads. The four-star ratings are only because Jinjiang made me give them).
Yuri Novels I Personally Recommend
Well-written stories with characters whose actions make sense and no mistreatment of women. Female characters should make up at least 98% of the cast. I especially like characters who feel full of life. Please feel free to correct me if any of my comments are mistaken.
The Best of the Best
I’ve been reading Bai He since my first year of high school. These are all novels that have stuck with me to this day.

Made a book list out of boredom, currently updating

Keeping track of books I've finished, including ones I finally followed to the end. I've got too many others that I put aside halfway through because I got lazy.

They actually reconciled like this. From the reader's perspective, one can naturally get a glimpse of Qiao Fei's importance in Yu Zhen's heart. But Qiao Fei himself can't clearly perceive it. Even if I am a bystander who does not have a God's perspective of the world view of the novel and cannot peek into the character's true inner thoughts, in my opinion, Yu Zhenai's action language is too sparse and pale. Throughout the entire story line, Yu Zhen almost never took the initiative to let herself go, and always firmly occupied the high emotional position and high profile (in the details of the two people's relationship). This is something that remains the same to this day, and it makes me feel emotionally unbalanced. I thought that this issue would be resolved first. I have always believed that: from the confirmation of emotional awareness (self-project) to the inner entanglement of oneself (self-project) to the expression of action (loving others), there are three levels of emotion. This change in the process is far more important than the psychological emphasis of a single character. Characters should not only show the weight of their love to readers. What's more important is to show the woman in the story the weight of love. In my opinion, Yu Zhen always acts within her own safety net, which makes me question whether she can pass the many tests in the future in this relationship. In my opinion, the gender game and energy balance in intimate relationships are a highlight. But I only saw Yu Zhen's emotions and personal struggles, but not her sincerity in love and her efforts for love. (If we can only fight against the wind and cannot fight against the headwind, is it different or still no progress?) In other words: Without God (the author)'s perfection, there would be no such luck. Then in another time and space, these two people were actually be. Their ending is not the result of Yu Zhen's hard work, but the arrangement of fate and Qiao Fei's deep love for her. So how convincing is this kind of he? They are just going back to the original starting point again (personal opinion)
I understand Qiao Fei's indulgence in the past, but I don't understand that she went on a date after they broke up. When she was with Yu, the other person guided her to be independent and self-loving in both work and relationship. Since it was written that she had been pursuing a career and being consistent with herself in the past four years, she was so determined to date someone else, and then reconciled first. Even though this person is too animalistic, I can't believe that they will be loyal to each other for the rest of their lives.
Long time no see Yu Qiao, she's still so nervous now that she's eighteen years old [continued]
It turns out it was because I wanted to kiss
The author is really great. Every psychological description makes me wonder how he can write so well. He can express it clearly in simple words every time.
Don't you take off your glasses when kissing? Good feeling
It will really ruin your hands. Listen to my advice, kid. Advice from a caterer who needs to wash cups every day 😭
Prejudices in people's hearts are like a big mountain [covering face, laughing and crying]
It's totally delicious. Does the author dare to write another extra chapter [hugging thighs]
I'm so happy that a side story has dropped ^_^ Author, you are a genius! This if line is short but so on point, it feels like their teenage years. Yu Zhen is still like this, a bit tight and stubborn due to his hard work, coupled with a little youthful youthfulness and clumsiness. "I'm afraid I won't be able to entertain you" www is so cute! It's just a simple walk together between classes, it's so cute... Also, the two of you are still as hot as ever🥵
