Romance only. I prefer stories with fantastical elements and don't read tragic endings
Yes, I Love This So Much: Original Fiction Edition
The evil omnivorous reader is here! Ongoing updates! My reading habits are terrible, and I rarely finish anything. If the second half lets me down, that's not my problem (looking away).

2026 Reading Notes
Recording what I read in April
Good Reads
A hodgepodge of everything
BG: School Life, Historical Romance, and Feel-Good Stories
Style: Characterization, plot hooks, or steamy hints are enough to overlook plot holes and the protagonist's moral flaws. Or, a fresh plot with good pacing is welcome, even if the romance develops slowly.
Completed BG Reading Log
Sweet, satisfying stories with strong female leads, xianxia, rebirth, historical romances, and period dramas. I read a little of everything, and my ratings are highly subjective.
Reading These Lately, a Little of Everything
101 Ways to Turn the Tables on Someone Above Your Station
My list got shut down, which feels awful. So now I'm making a bit of a spectacle of it. These are all books with fairly low initial ratings; let's see how they develop from here.
A Record of Books I've Read Lately
I read all sorts of genres, but I often drop books partway through. When I think of them later, I can't even remember what happened, so I'm keeping a few notes.

Notes on Stories I Like
Not made to cater to particular preferences, just genuinely good reads. Updates are slow because great novels are rare. All are BG with sexually inexperienced male leads. Vast worldbuilding, queenly female protagonists, gorgeous prose, and light romance
For Personal Use: Historical Romance and Transmigration
3 stars: I didn't care for the writing style or plot. 4 stars: They hit one of my squicks. 5 stars: Fast-paced, smooth plot and a lighthearted style.
Classics from the Early Days: Transmigration
I started reading web novels with transmigration stories: first, for the clash of ideas across different historical eras; second, to make up for the regrets of history. These are stories that can still move me today.

I started watching it on the second day of the National Day holiday and finished it on the fourth day. It was so enjoyable, I don't want it to end!
How lucky I was to have read this novel just as it finished! It gave me a sense of quiet, enduring happiness. Xiaoyu's growth path was very clear, and each character was very well-developed. Reading it was very immersive; the protagonist was oppressed, desperately searching for a way out, and trying her best to live well. Compared to that, my current life is indeed quite fortunate.
This author always seems to abruptly end the story, rather than letting it flow smoothly. It always leaves the reader feeling like the story isn't finished; to put it bluntly, it's like a story that starts strong but ends weakly, lacking depth and becoming rather annoying.

It's over. I'm really going to miss the story of the goldfish. 😳
Well, after reading around chapter 50, some people said the female lead was always a maid, which they couldn't accept, so they wanted to drop the story. But since it wasn't finished, they skipped around and ended up reading until the very last chapter.
