Personal BL Reading List

My tastes: nonhumans, enemies, equally matched couples, mutual devotion, and forced melodrama. I love seductive, earnest, and snarky bottoms, and controlling, dark, and tsundere tops. I generally prefer devoted couples, but some stories have infidelity or switch roles.

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.
