At heart, I love dark and angsty stories. Every now and then, my conscience gets the better of me and I read something lighter. I enjoy melodramatic stories where the love interest gets put through the wringer, especially ones with a strong plot that brings out their charm. I also read some brainless feel-good fluff. I have a few crossover novels here.

Only Beautiful Bottoms, Bottom-Pampering Edition
I love stories featuring stunningly beautiful bottoms, the kind so gorgeous there’s no match for them in heaven or on earth. Bottoms are the best! (For a more SFW version, check out my list on my profile.)
Dog-Blood Drama, Mostly from the Bottom’s Perspective: Life Needs Drama
I personally define a shou-focused story as one where, early on, the gong is more obviously into the shou. I'm not picky about dealbreakers, so this list isn't for sk readers. It's for fellow angst-loving shou-focused readers like me. Check for your own dealbreakers.

It's awesome. This movie is really a top-notch story with all the evil intentions and scheming. It's not washed away at the end. People who are not pure and kind can welcome him as the protagonist. It's worthy of being an ancient novel. The subject matter, plot, writing style, and characters are all top-notch.
This novel really amazed me. Sure enough, Jinjiang was a great writer in the early years. You can tell how much I love it by reading my comments at 3 o'clock in the middle of the night. After reading so many comments, they all said that my three views were not correct, and I suddenly doubted my three views. I think if it hadn't been for Lin's start, these perverts would have continued to harm many people. Li really loves Lin.
My TOP. After all these years, this ending still shocks me. If I am not upright and honest, I will not be strong enough to clear my name. You've already read novels, so don't look for moral sense.
Possessed, this title is so apt. Both men are obsessed with each other. I really like the author's psychological description, it is very delicate. The most distressing thing in the whole book is that Aring, such a sunny boy, who brought Yi Zai into this normal world, was "committed suicide" so lightly and was tortured to death. How painful it was for him... How can those scum suffer as much as one ten thousandth of this boy... The second is Yi Zai. It will be very painful for him when he loses Aling. It is completely unexpected for a person with his personality to do such a thing. Such a perfect and almost seamless plan, who would have thought that there would be a big change in the middle of "Brother Rui". A Ling corrected Yi Zai's deep and terrifying character. After his tragic death, Yi Zai returned to that world and his personality basically did not change. Later, when he met Brother Rui, his strong love surrounded him all the time, making him fall in love with Brother Rui. This love was enough to make him change, although it could not completely change his personality, which was enough. It is enough for two people to love each other. Brother Rui is an upright and kind person. He grew up in a sunny world of justice, so he can also be gentle, tolerant and protective of Yi Zai. Although some people think the final ending is not so fair and just, I think in their world, this ending is very good. I still like this HE very much. It's already so miserable. Let them reunite and be happy. Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to the author for writing such a beautiful story!
After reading it, I really like Lin Yi. I have no resistance to this kind of cold-blooded and cruel boy but also has an innocent and cute side. If he cheated me, I would be willing to be cheated. I never played Yi Zai until the end. The writing style and plot are too solid. I finished reading it in a day and a half and I couldn't let it go.
Beautiful! In fact, I thought Li would discover all this in the end, but continue to love Lin hhh, which feels more suitable for the title of this article. Both of them are obsessed, wandering between hell and heaven~ But this ending is also very good, let Li continue to love Lin stupidly and without burden, and the smart Lin Yi will maintain this balance, otherwise the two of them may never experience a stable daily life. Lin Yi's portrayal is great, and he becomes more and more three-dimensional in the extra chapters. The last two chapters stand up instantly. What was shown before is just an empty puppet, but in the end everyone discovered that he has an irreversible mind as solid as a rock. He has a very high IQ and a strong psychological quality. He has no resistance to such a beautiful and strong person. Moreover, he is clear and cute and powerful and ruthless. The contrast is too cute! In fact, I have always felt that the biggest flaw of this article is that the emotional line is inexplicable. I once thought that investigating the case was much more interesting than watching the love story between the attacker and the shou, but the last two chapters cleverly and magically brought it back. I admire it. Before, I always felt that Li was not good at it, that he didn't love well. He fell in love at first sight and violated the secular ethics to fall in love with a minor. Of course, love is quite loving, but the specific manifestation is only lust. Lust makes you want to hold it and chew it as soon as you meet it. It may be more appropriate to say that you are possessed by a sex demon. I say all day long that I want to be good to you and I want to take care of you. In fact, he immediately ran away after discovering that Lin Yi was contrary to his beliefs. His love for Lin Yi was just like when Lin Yi accused Xi Yihua many times, but he ignored it every time without verifying it. This shows that this person is not firm or strong at all, or if he is firm, he will hold back from the beginning. Don't provoke Lin Yi, then even if the truth comes out, things won't be too complicated. In the end, you will torture yourself and Xiao Yi. But fortunately, Xiao Yi is an extremely determined person. He must get what he wants. He forcefully repaired the relationship between the two. Not only did he get what he wanted, but he also ended Officer Li's self-torture. Officer Li is really in love with an incredible person. Later, he found out that he really loved Li too. Xiao Yi came back to look for him. How could he still remember the pain and psychological pull of shielding criminals before? That won't make things right right away, tsk tsk I didn't understand why Lin Yi fell in love with Officer Li before. I thought to him, shouldn't Li be a suspicious person who keeps getting close to me? But it turns out that he just longed for warmth. The kind and lovely Aring briefly illuminated Xiao Yi's world, but was taken away by a few scum. How could he not hate the world? When he met Li's warmth again, how could he not use all possible means to seize it? Lin Yi's experience catalyzed a vicious and twisted mentality, but he is really pitiful Arling is also the most difficult character to deal with. Xiao Yi is unwilling to leave the world for Arling. Judging from his disregard for the human world, he has devoted all his energy to Arling. Sometimes he feels that if Arling confesses to him, he might end up with Lin Yi. Maybe Lin Yi will go one step further and protect him like his childhood sweetheart, just like he protects Officer Li. Maybe he won't let anything happen to him or distort himself. Unfortunately, if there is no such thing, A Yi will eventually have to rely on Officer Li to fill the void in his heart. Finally, there is a small hole dug intentionally by the author. How did Lin Yi know what it was like when the victimized woman fell into the bathtub? In his confession, except for the godfather who was in a coma and could not witness it, he counted all the other victims in detail. So did Zeng Jiezhong take him with him every time he committed a crime, or was Zeng Jiezhong simply involved in the disposal of the corpse from beginning to end? After all, there was only one person who came in and out of Zheng Mingxiu's house, and Lin Yi knew that he was crying bitterly at the end. But just like what I had in mind from the beginning: If Li can tell whether it is Lin Yi through a photo without a face, then if the surveillance video found is Lin Yi, it is impossible for Li not to recognize it, right? So from beginning to end, was it Zeng Jiezhong or Lin Yi who committed the murder? All in all, it's a good article! It's just that it's been too long and it's a pity that I can't play shooting.
The perspective of Yi Zai is even more interesting. Brother Rui can't play with Yi Zai at all. Yi Zai also said that it's because Brother Rui loves him more than he thought. The two of them can't live without each other. In contrast, Yizi can't live without Brother Rui. Finish spreading flowers
This is actually a 12-year-old article! I didn't see it until 24 years ago
This book is really the white moonlight in my heart, it has a wonderful magic power
When watching A Ling, it always reminded me of the Japanese cement corpse case I had seen before. A female high school student was imprisoned and tortured to death by several teenagers. Finally, the girl's body was thrown away and hidden in the cement. I didn't dare to read the confessions and the torture methods described by those beasts. It was simply shocking and the nature was so bad. But just a few years ago, two of them were juvenile delinquents who were the three masterminds, and they were released from prison. These beasts!! I saw those people were really happy when they died. They didn't deserve to live, they only deserved to go to hell.
