Some Free Novels (A Messy Mix)

Free stories can't make it into the top lists, so I'm gathering the free ones from my bookshelf here. There's BL, BG, and no-CP, all jumbled together. I've read some and haven't read others

Dear Gentle Male Leads

If you love the gentle, devoted, refined-and-gentle type, dive right in!!! (Ahem, only historical romance here.) Four stars means highly recommended; three stars means good for passing the time.

The Cream of the Crop (BG and GB)

A mixed-bag reading list of books I personally find interesting. And damn Green River, limiting how many five-star ratings I can give.

Worth a Second Read: BG/BL/GB/No Pairing

I like couples who actually communicate, two strong leads, idealized characters, morally ambiguous characters, mutually exclusive relationships, and monogamous pairings. No eunuchs, please. If the characterization, plot, and writing are good enough, though, I can overlook anything.

Salt-Selected BG Romance That Hits My Personal Preferences

BG novels I thought might be good, though the time span is so long that I can barely remember some of them. The list is capped at 100 books, so they will be ranked and updated based on my personal preferences.

Well-written stories with logical plots and no contrived drama.

Sweet BG Romance (Some with Plenty of Steamy Scenes)

If you’re in a reading slump, take a look at my 1v1, SC romance collection, with both historical and contemporary settings. I like charismatic male and female leads. Some have lots of travel.

Long BG/No-CP Novels with 70%+ Plot

I usually like long, plot-driven stories. My favorites are BL-free or BG novels where 70–90% of the story focuses on the leads' careers, with just a little romance. Either lead's perspective is fine.

A Bit of Everything: Cultivation, Historical Romance, and Mysteries

I read all kinds of things. What matters most is good writing and being moved by the characters or plot. Entirely subjective.

Romance with a Plot Focus

Keeping track of female leads and stories I really love... Romance, but with more focus on the plot than the relationship.
