Old-School Seme-Centric Stories

Old favorites I reread every now and then.

Level C

Top-Led Mutual Pampering / Top-Focused / Versatile Couples Who Pamper Each Other

Saving this for my own tastes (every so often I get a sudden craving for something pretty out there)

Top-Dom, Power-Couple Stories (Favorites That Don't Fit Elsewhere)

Great, evenly matched stories with a strong seme protagonist that I liked and finished reading. It's hard to pin down what kind of reader they'd suit, but if you're a fan of stories with a strong seme protagonist and you're in a reading slump, give them a try. Some aren't personal favorites.

Top-Led Romance

So good! Most feature a gong lead doted on by his partner. Highly recommend

Top-Led Stories Collection 2

Good writing, a good plot, or both

A Reading Guide for Top Fans

A fan of awesome, strong bottoms and top-centric stories. Weak tops are fine too, and so is melodrama.

Level C

BL with Protagonists Who Have Mental or Psychological Conditions

BL where one or both leads have a mental illness and their feelings for each other run deep

Level C
24Books1Follows27dUpdated

Dominant Male Lead

Top fans, stay away. Dealbreakers: harem protagonists, being doted on by everyone, crybaby tops, weak tops, tops who are bad in bed, insectoid stories, and tops who are doted on by their bottoms.

Great Reads That Deserve More Bookmarks

Gong-focused stories with great plots and characterization that really stay with me will go here. (P.S. Some might have switches. I don't like weak gong or weak shou.

Completed Novels with Pursuing Protagonists, Recommendations 1

Top-focused stories that fit my personal taste. I’ve read and finished them all; if I made it to the end, they must be pretty good. I recommend every story here. Five stars are for the unexpected personal favorites.

Decent Top-Dom Stories [Completed Edition]

BL stories from the seme’s perspective that I’ve read, with no major dealbreakers. Some have a seme who pampers the receiver, some are mutually doting, and some have the receiver pampering the seme. I prefer swoon-worthy, strong semes, and can’t stand a seme who gets pushed around or an unchaste receiver. I’ll keep updating this, and only add completed stories.

Great Protagonist-Top Stories

Pretty neutral overall. I enjoy a bit of melodramatic, unhinged nonsense, so I’m keeping track of stories I think are good. I won’t add anything that’s already on my other lists.

I Say Nothing, I Just Keep Eating

How would I get through this miserable life without web novels to unwind with!

Level B

Top Focus

Pretty heartwarming. Just keeping a record.

Top Protagonists

Keeping track of what I've read. A lot of the time, I like the blurb but lose interest after a few chapters. I pick stories on a whim.

A Truly Interesting Soul Is One in a Million

A personal record of tops I like on their own, or couples I occasionally ship. I write whatever comes to mind, and add a book whenever I find myself thinking about it again.

Strong Seme Protagonists I Adore

I like gong characters who are ambitious and focused on their careers. My preferences: intelligent characters with sound reasoning, and expansive worldbuilding that doesn't read like a textbook. If anyone shares my taste, please leave me a message with recommendations. Pretty please!

Top-Centric, Top Worship, Top Protagonists

Top-focused stories for fans who love the top, but I'm not too intense about it. The couples are endgame. The top isn't excessively self-sacrificing, the bottom doesn't betray him, the top gets plenty of standout moments and takes the lead, and the bottom is loyal and devoted.

Top-Focused Reader's List

I’m not an extreme top enthusiast. I can be flexible, like a rubber band. This is a celebration of my personal tastes, slowly adding to my backlog (completed novels only).

Mainly Seme POV: Reading Log

Keeping track of the top gong novels I’ve read. I have a soft spot for gong-centric wish fulfillment and mutually doting couples, with a slight preference for the gong, who takes the lead in the relationship.

Personal Reading Sweep of Top-Protagonist Novels

I lean toward stories that make the top look great. I read broadly, but no K. No content warnings.

Level B

Top-Protagonist Feel-Good Stories

Long Aotian protagonists from Qidian as bottoms, Qidian-style novels, and wish-fulfillment stories. All are top-focused. I've included some stories mistakenly tagged as bottom-focused, for fellow top-focused readers.

Miscellaneous | My Special Recommendations (Updated Occasionally)

A mix of everything: top POV, bottom POV, selfcest, dual POV, romance, and GB, with more top-POV stories. Sorted into: especially good, worth reading, and readable.
