Beautiful Male Leads, Male-Lead-Focused Preferred
A fan of handsome tops and strong bottoms. Handsome tops above all else. PS: I’m not particularly picky. Preferring tops or doting tops are just a bonus. Bottom fans, be warned before you dive into this list!
A Little Bit of Everything
Dealbreakers: love triangles where readers pick a love interest, hard-to-ship couples, and bad writing.
Sickly Protagonist Novels
Sickly Protagonist Stories I’ve Reviewed Over the Years.
A Shooting Star
Between four and five stars. They may not be worth rereading, but they left a deep impression while I was reading, or stuck with me long afterward.
The Romance Is Intense
The writing may or may not be great, but the romance is definitely well done. Includes BL and BG.
Comfort Reads to Stock Up On
Stories of the times our paths crossed. Hope to meet you again when we stock up on reads this cozy winter.
Angsty but Sweet
A mix of sweet and angsty, bittersweet, and full of twists. Each book has a unique premise. Healthy, positive relationships aren't my thing. I have no subscription history because I switched accounts.
Handpicked Couples With Mutual, Overwhelming Feelings
The top and bottom are devoted to each other, locked in for life. Usually there are no unnecessary romantic subplots besides theirs. The authors are often fans of multiple pairings. For personal reasons, I rarely give five stars. I have a terrible memory, so my reviews may change at any time.
For Personal Use =V=
A list for keeping track of stories and the cute couples in them. Couple chemistry > writing style > plot > characterization > everything else. GKSX. No breakup, reversed pairings, or dream pairings allowed.
Angsty Novel Recommendations
I just love this kind of melodramatic angst, hehe.
[Custom Sweet Stories] I Fold and Snip the Red Strings of Fate
I'm on a diet, so this is my sugar-free substitute list. I might read more or less, depending on the day. Why doesn't Jinjiang show more detailed ratings? Books rated 3.6 and 4.4 both show up as four stars...
Historical BL | Romance Is Everything (Updated)
I'm an indiscriminate shipper who sees romance everywhere. These are fully purchased historical BL stories I've recommended over the years. I love relationships between equals, and I judge stories by the prose, plot, and characters' brains. I'll flag a few things that might be dealbreakers; if nothing's noted, both leads are inexperienced.
BL with Lots of Romance That I Really Love
All personal favorites that I will reread countless times, adding more whenever I come across them. Most feature a bottom as the main character or have an unclear perspective. Stories with a top protagonist or switching will be marked.
Great Free Reads (Updated from Time to Time)
They're probably all decent. I haven't read some of them, either. They're free, so they all get five stars. This list is no help as a guide, so check the warnings before reading. My personal tastes are all over the place; I'll read anything.
Power Couple BL
A list of stories with two strong leads. Serious plots, romance-focused, all kinds of genres. I love shipping couples. If you're into insect shou or bed-bound weak gongs, keep away from my list. Is the whole 'men above women' thing not messed up enough for you?
Personal Reading Archive
Saving this for my own reference. My preference: romantic attraction over sexual attraction by far.
Angst and Drama Collection
A personal reading list. I’m not responsible for content warnings
Pure Love Free
Super enjoyable free-to-read stories
The Peach Blossoms Still Smile in the Spring Breeze
I prefer historical danmei. In the relationship, I like aloof tops and passionate bottoms (not every book on this list necessarily fits). I like melodramatic angst, and mainly read for the couples. Characterization and the romance matter most to me; I’m not picky about anything else.
Saved for Later: Taking My Time with Senior-Junior Brother Romance
Shixiong and shidi??
Older Love Interests in Xianxia and Cultivation
Mostly teacher-student or senior-junior pairings, with older tops. A few have younger tops, but they're really good.
Historical Chinese Style!!!
Fantastic historical-style stories, mostly set in a purely ancient world, with transmigration.
Just Read It. You'll See How Authoritative This List Is
Love in the First Dimension. Everything here is gay romance except for one no-CP story about a female bean.
A Mixed Danmei Collection for When You're Out of Things to Read, Taste Varies
I finished these and don't regret spending the money, but they don't fit into any other list, so it'd be a shame to discard them. Some had potential but were left unfinished, which pains me. Others went so overboard with the plot that I was jolted right out of the story

The writing is great, not only for my personal taste, but for me, it is simply a masterpiece. It is reasonable for Gong to fall in love with Shou. Gong thinks of Shou as vicious every time, but Shou's actions are beyond Gong's expectations every time. Shou is very charming and simple and sincere. This book is not a brainless abuse at all. There is a cause and effect. The two people love each other from the beginning to the end and are paying for each other. ^^Finished spreading flowers, the little lovers have been together for a long time! [Come on]
The teacher is so powerful. This arrogant beauty x the gentle, stubborn and loyal dog are such a perfect match! When I think about it, I will come back and take a bite. My senior brother will act like a spoiled child and his soul will float away [Milk Tea]
The writing is astonishing. . . Damn it, I cried to death, xql wants to be happy forever
Xiao Zhen is abusing the elderly. Xiao is already in his sixties, so he still needs emotional counseling for Gong.
It was so good that I watched it again. A work of true love and affection
The writing is incomparable and awesome! There is no useless pen, and the 90,000 words are short and concise! He is worthy of being an old author [Xingxingyan]
This plot is simply amazing, so rare, and novels in the secular world are so extraordinary. [Red heart]
It's a good read. The writing is good and smooth. I read it in one breath. It has a strong martial arts spirit. Shou has the personality of a puppy. He treats the person he likes wholeheartedly, loves beauty, is very virtuous, and becomes infatuated when he is tempted. Two Bitter Melons is a little bit bloody but not too much. It is the awkward process of two people with mutual crushes coming to terms with their feelings. After reading the first few chapters, it becomes very interesting. Everything will be clear when you see it later. [Rainbow fart] [Rainbow fart] Two lives are devoted to one person😭😭😭😭 Please travel sweetly to the ends of the world and follow you to the end of the world! 😭😭😭👐👐👐
Miss you(っ ̯ -｡)
A car just ran over the "Fruit Box on the Table" and the "Iron Sword on the Bedside" [Dog Head]
