What's Wrong with Loving Those Little Hands?

Protagonist characterization is my biggest deal-breaker, even more than side-character characterization. Five stars: beautifully written, protagonist-centered stories. Four stars: more balanced ensemble casts. Three stars: minor issues. Two stars: proceed with caution.

A Private Collection for Bottom-Lovers

I prefer wholesome over messy, and lean toward sunny, shou-centric wish fulfillment. Otherwise, I have the usual dealbreakers.

Completed Sweet Stories with a Bottom-Leaning Focus That Everyone Loves, Part 1

Shou-centric stories that I consider mutually doting and shou-leaning. Click in and expect to see lots of adorable shou. I like harem magnets, shou-centered stories, couples being lovey-dovey, and ambitious characters building their careers. Updated whenever.

Five-Star, Fully Purchased Shou-Centric Power Fantasies

The bottom gets to have a great time, and I love a pampered bottom. The top is a normal person too. I’ve been stuck for ages reading angsty stories told from the bottom’s point of view where the other half gets all the satisfying moments, so I made this list to collect some satisfying stories told from the protagonist’s point of view.

Personal Reading List #1

Protagonist fans, rise up. Books I've read. Male protagonists with no romance, or danmei from the bottom's perspective.

Level A

Bad Cat, Bad Cat, We Love You

Mostly shou with tastes like villainous, scheming, outwardly innocent but secretly ruthless, cold on the inside, controlling, or sadistic. Some are nasty little cats, though the degree of meanness varies; a few are only mildly bad. Details in the comments.

Keeping Track

BL and no-CP stories. I'm a bottom fan and a protagonist fan, and I can't stand side pairings. I love feel-good power fantasies. Some recommendations, some warnings.

Pure Love, Bottom POV

Ones I personally think are good. All would get five stars from me; the System limits the rating to four.

Level C

Adored Bottoms

The whole story focuses on the bottom's personal growth or career, or the bottom has a lot of charisma.

Strong Bottoms, Pampered Bottoms, Handsome Bottoms, Cool Bottoms, and More: Personal Archive 2

I'm stuck in a reading slump and it's miserable... I keep consuming more and more until I'm sick of it! Strict Su Ze fan. Saved for myself; no guarantee there won't be anything I dislike ^ ^

Mutual Devotion, with Extra Love for the Bottom, and Strong Feelings on Both Sides 2

I lean toward bottom-focused CP fans. I can read balanced stories, as long as they aren't top-focused. Usually both leads are each other's first; I'll mark it if not. I'll also mark specific pairings or balanced stories. Starting a new list now that this one's full.
