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.
Sweet and Satisfying Strong-Strong Danmei with Handsome, Godlike Bottoms
Sweet, lovey-dovey couples. No single-character glorification, no harem stories

My personal notes on the stories I read in 2026.
Full-Purchase Recommendations for Omnivorous Readers 2.0 (WIP)
I’ll read anything as long as the writing is decent. Some of these are from a long time ago. Slowly updating this list.
Bottom-Centric Favorites: Completed Books No. 1
Five-star recommendations. The bottom’s characterization matters above all. No content warnings, so please look them up yourself.
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.
Farming, Building, Food, and Everyday Life
A collection, quality not guaranteed
Stories I’ve Read Multiple Times
Must-reads for when you're out of books
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.
Decent Reads I've Finished
Completed novels
Personal Reading List #1
Protagonist fans, rise up. Books I've read. Male protagonists with no romance, or danmei from the bottom's perspective.
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.
Adored Bottoms
The whole story focuses on the bottom's personal growth or career, or the bottom has a lot of charisma.
Books I've Read
Anyway, just some books I’ve read
Danmei I'm Reading in 2026
Why does the list look so short... Are there any good new stories? Are there any good new stories?
Five Stars
All kinds of genres, with great writing and interesting stories.
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.
Transmigrate and Be Reborn
Transmigration and rebirth stories. Both historical and modern settings, with transmigration or rebirth as the main element.
Bottom-Leaning / Bottom-Focused

Rewatching it almost ten years later, I miss Mariko-sama who was hardworking at that time, and I also miss myself when I was young. Time flies so fast. I never thought that ten years would be able to say it so easily. I am quietly looking forward to the upright Mariko-sama~
I'm going to say it's really super invincible and explosive! I really like Yanyan's character! The ending is just too rushed! Maybe I still want the teacher to do this again! I also like the younger brother at the end! Oops, I feel like the Shao family is all cute!
Is there no extra? After watching it, I feel so empty [crying]
Rewatching for the nth time, when will Mariko-sama come back?
Mariko, do you still write articles? [Crying] It's been several years, but there's no news at all.
No, it's gone now [crying] [crying]
