Some great older stories. They may reflect the limitations of their era. More to come.
Back to My Teenage Years on Jinjiang (BL)
Recommendations from a 30-year-old longtime reader. I can't stand today's rankings anymore. Old-school novels, great writing, strong stories, and a little of everything. Includes transmigrate into a book, quick transmigration, historical settings, and cultivation.
Pure Love and No-CP Novels
These are the ones I personally like. They're a mixed bag, so don't worry about the recommendation ratings.

Good old-school stories, though some may feel dated.
I Need to Make a Danmei List
I used to love serious dramas, but my tastes run to melodrama and plotlines that make you cringe. Original danmei hasn’t been doing it for me these past few years, so this is mostly older stuff. The authors’ scandals don’t stop me from loving their stories. Adding more as I go.
There's Something About Older Partners
Older top, master-disciple, older top, senior and junior fellow disciples, older and gentle tops, and even same-age characters with a strong older-top vibe. A roundup.
Teacher-Student and Master-Disciple Age-Gap Stories, My Personal Stockpile
The younger one takes the initiative; the older one takes the lead. Guidance, discipline; admiration, pursuit. Respect, reason, restraint; passion, loyalty, purity. If you don't get what's so great about older partners, goodbye forever.
I'm a Protagonist Fan
No matter what skgkgl means, I absolutely love dark, tragic, beautiful, strong, and universally adored characters. No soul transmigration, unfaithful partners, delicate intersex characters getting pregnant, ordinary nice guys, or male-male side couples.

Includes abandoned and ongoing novels. Mostly paranormal, supernatural, and Lovecraftian, with lots of serious stories. These reviews keep changing places, and some won't even let me give five stars. I'm fed up. Let it all burn.
Great Early Completed BL Novels
BL stories I read a long time ago and still remember, mostly farming stories. Four stars means excellent; three stars means there’s something appealing about them. I don’t rate the rest.

Some old favorites to recommend
Story Sweep: Five Years Ago
Updated whenever I feel like it... Four or five stars means it has at least one of these: a devoted love interest, a yandere, tenderness and deep affection, a beautiful but tragic character, a hardcore fan, or a smart, satisfying story.

I want to talk about something that has nothing to do with the book itself. This year is 22 years, and this book was written in 2006, so 16 years have passed. In the past few years, we have been inevitably told: the era you live in is experiencing rapid changes every day. But is it really so? 16 Years have passed, and the world we see in the article is almost the same as the world we live in now. All prejudices still exist, and the rapidly developing technology does not seem to have changed our lives in a substantial emotional way. We still say similar words, struggle with the same life, and enjoy the same aesthetics. I believe that online novels are also recording history, and they themselves carry a part of the times, so I have to admit that no huge substantive changes have occurred in the past 16 years. But I also want to raise a new question about the Internet world. With the support of the Internet, it seems to be very easy for us to know someone, but it is also very easy for a person to disappear. I just want to express some of my own observations and thank the author for writing so many excellent words. Whether there are too many quotes or paraphrases, it also makes me realize again my own shallowness and little accumulation. Although it may be difficult to have the opportunity to communicate with you in any way again, I am still grateful for the inspiration and thinking this reading journey has brought me. I wish you good health, all the best, happiness every day, and happiness to your family.
Yesterday, I came across a video on the Xiaopo website about the development history of Guzaoyuan 20 years ago. I felt like I had seen the revolving door of my life, and when I saw my wife's article, I suddenly wanted to come back and read it. I remember the first time I saw this novel. It was a very short novel, but the plot content was just right. The core was sour and warm. Warmth and tenderness. For the first time, I saw my master's understanding that people are just animals if they cannot restrain their desires, and his views on maturity, work, family, love and sex. It made me suddenly understand what a person with a mature personality should be like, what love should be like, and what sex should be like. This is the original meaning of Yuan Dan, to write about two equal people meeting each other, knowing each other and falling in love, and then writing about people, love, and sex. Although it is writing, it is also writing about enlightenment. Then this realization is passed on to his readers, achieving resonance and enlightenment. It was this kind of warmth and tenderness that made me read it over and over again. At that time, I carefully picked up the excerpt and copied it to show that I would never forget it. Now Yuandan has gradually become a fast-paced business, with various elements colliding, and various styles that I feel are very unfamiliar. Maybe I am too old and can't keep up with the times, and I gradually lose sight of it. I just occasionally come back to old articles, read them at leisure, and talk for comfort.
It is actually an old article written almost twenty years ago, time flies so fast. . . . . At that time, I seemed to be using Lujiang as a website because I didn't like using websites. . . Anyway, I just read the pirated article. . . Sorry! ! [180°Fancy Rotating Doka Seat] Today I suddenly thought of replenishing the ticket. I don't know if the author can still receive the money. I think it is still in the status of [Signed], so it should still be possible. . . Bar? The article is indeed good - even if I read it twenty years later - it's the Chinese New Year, a little thought.
I must be happy. It's been a long time since I've read an article and cried so much. I don't know why such a sweet plot made me burst into tears. I must be happy. I must be happy [crying] [crying] The author is really grateful for this article. Strictly speaking, he is only a few months older than me. It's hard to imagine writing such an article in that era, which seems relaxed but is actually serious. What kind of concept is Danmei literature? It's hard to imagine what the people in this article faced and experienced at that time. Today, twenty years later, I look at the endless stream of same-sex couples on the Internet, the same-sex elements that permeate all kinds of popular art, and the jokes similar to gays who make jokes in daily life. Maybe this is also developing for the better. There may be many soft and kind people like Xiao Tao Ke who are confused and avoid facing various problems brought by their sexual orientation. Maybe they have not met their own Teacher Ye, but because of the changes in the environment of the times, they can breathe a little easier when facing difficulties and self-doubt. They may also feel a moment of warmth and comfort because of reading the gentle words and opinions of the author. I hope that every minority can be happy, very happy, very happy. I hope I can write words and plots as gentle and powerful as the author in the future [Purple Sugar]
I finally remembered why I liked this article! The attitude that Teacher Mao wants to express is firm and gentle, and the words are sometimes lingering and sometimes jumpy. What's more important is that it is too ordinary and everyday, like a narrative, but I think it must have happened. Regardless of whether you are a member of the LGBTQ community or not, everyone has more or less something to fight and protect. There is always struggle and confusion in the heart, but in the end they will choose to live strong and protect whatever they can. And there will definitely be gentle and powerful forces around you to support you, as long as you do things with a clear conscience. This article is really gentle. I hope everyone can feel and spread the power of gentleness (?▽`)
It's a very heartwarming article. I don't know why but I felt very moved at the end. Maybe it just feels like the gentle warmth of daily life around me, with my lover and friends by my side. Finally, I would like to say that my wife's writing is really good, but it's a pity that I met her so late (I was only 2 years old when it was first published).
I miss it so much. I read the article when I just graduated from elementary school in 10 years, and I read it again in middle school and high school. Now he is a social animal who is fast running for three years. I accidentally thought of this article in the middle of the night, and took it out to read it again. The characters in it were as familiar as old friends. After reading it, I felt an urge to cry. Maybe I will continue to revisit it five or ten years later. When I am middle-aged, Teacher Xiao Tao Keye and others are still so young and beautiful. I'm really grateful to Mrs. Laughing Cat for writing such a work. My wife has been logged out of Weibo for a long time. I hope her real life will be safe and smooth.
Wuwuwuwuwu, why is a chapter locked? The physical book has an extra chapter. The two of them adopted a child, and Yan Yang also has his own story. I have been reading this book for 7 years, and every time I see the gentle smile conveyed from the eyes to the corners of the mouth, I can't help but laugh to death. It's so gentle, and my heart is full.
For more than ten years, this article has become my spiritual support. Now, like Director Cat, I have become a public servant of the people. I will go on the long and far road.
A masterpiece that will last forever hahahaha, I saw it when I was clearing out my favorites, and couldn't help but click in and read it again. Three brushes or four brushes? I can't remember either
