There are three things I won’t read: 1. Stories where the gong is absurdly perfect but the plot is simplistic and the dialogue childish. 2. Stories where a weak gong plays at being domineering, then ends up sobbing. 3. To be continued.
My Personal List of Novels with Top-Led Relationships
Mostly traditional tastes, occasionally a bit twisted. I'm fine with any kind of BL setup, and I prefer equally matched couples. Well-written career plots, worldbuilding, or pure romance between a couple earn bonus points. Prefer a top or mutual pampering.
Whatever I Find on the New Books, Main-Attacker Thousand-Word Ranking
Those with a clear bottom- or top-fan bias may want to skip these. No pregnancy plots. These are purely subjective opinions: there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand readers.
Read and Loved
I prefer top-led or top-focused stories, and I like completed novels. Saving this list for rereading later.
Personal Recommendations and Reviews [Top-Male-Lead Fan]

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.
Top Romance for Male Leads
I love top-centric stories. When shipping CPs, I'm a CP junkie, but I'm not too focused on top traits (meaning I don't insist on a strong romantic arrow toward the top, but I do care about how the top is written). If you don't mind any potential triggers, give these a try.
Top Protagonist
Top-only stories
Top-Pursuit Stories That Respect Readers’ Intelligence
Beautiful male leads, solid writing, and logically coherent stories. Strong bottoms, with a preference for stories where the top dotes on the bottom or is doted on by the bottom.
A Truly Interesting Soul Is One in a Million

[Seme Protagonists] All About Handsome, Adorable, and Gorgeous Semes
I have a taste for dark, twisted stuff. This is an archive of stories I like, and may include all kinds of chaotic, melodramatic angst and suffering for the gong. I won't flag specific triggers, so proceed with caution.
Whatever Comes to Mind
My extremely niche, bizarre tastes are no joke. I’m so starved for content that I’ll end up tearing myself apart. Top protagonist / GB / no-couple

They dote on each other; both leads are sexually pure.
Strong Top, Strong Bottom
Top-led, evenly matched couples. I like cool, aloof tops and obsessive bottoms.

I generally prefer pampered tops. All I ask is smooth writing. I enjoy all kinds of characterizations for the bottom, though I have a soft spot for career-driven characters. No content warnings
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.
Are There Any Good Top-Dom Stories?
Putting together the good stories I've read with a dominant male lead or a more dominant top. Not for me: weak bottoms, bottoms who need rescuing, or wimpy bottoms. Lots of rambling inside / still under construction

Basically, they dote on each other ^_^ I favor pretty, cool bottoms and dominant tops. No forceful bedroom scenes.

Someone once recommended the author's book "Rebirth: True No Digging for Coal". I liked it very much and read it out from time to time. I have never been able to find such an article with light writing and plot. Today, I had a whim to take a look at the author's earlier works. In my opinion, the personal characteristics of my wife's writing are still very obvious, which may be related to her personal XP. The attack is light, strong and tolerant, and the acceptance is not crazy and can't survive. After all, he is the main character, and every time he reads it, there is no doubt about his charisma. In fact, the social status of these two books has reached its peak, but why does Gong still feel powerful? This strength comes from their spirit. No matter they face ups and downs, feelings, or destiny, they are neither humble nor arrogant, and they come and go as they please. This is the most fascinating thing. However, in comparison, the author's growth can still be seen. I'm not a fan of this novel, but judging from the comments section, most readers don't seem to like Shou Chenyu in this book. Yes, everyone loves to see the affectionate Cheng Dieyi singing on stage, but if a madman with infinite strength runs on the street, passers-by will be frightened. Not to mention this is a madman with a knife in his hand. I saw some comments that I couldn't see Chen Yu's love for Ping Jiu, I just thought it was possessiveness. I can understand it, as long as both parties involved are willing to do so. At the extreme, for example, the cake&fork setting, which is really one side eating the other, and the letter circles, which may not seem like normal feelings to outsiders, but as long as you are happy, that's fine. Even if Chen Yu only wants to possess Ping Jiu in this article, Ping Jiu doesn't care. He is indispensable wherever he is and is willing to accompany Chen Yu. That's enough. I don't like Chen Yu, mainly because Pingjiu forgives his hurt, which is one thing, but what about his hurt to other people? For example, Princess Side, who had been with him for so many years and had the false reputation of being his "only favorite", was actually a widow every day. She was almost raped on the best day of her marriage. Emperor Chen Yu had been emperor for less than six years, but he actually elected a harem. How many innocent women were recruited at once? They have no children. They are in their twenties, the best years of their lives, and have been alone in the palace ever since. Let's take Pingjiu's relatives and friends as an example. It's okay to be jealous or to hurt others with your words, but isn't it a bit outrageous to actually be murderous? Let's leave it to pure antisocial behavior now. The scary thing is that Chen Yu is the emperor, and he really has this method to destroy the nine tribes, just because they are close to Heping Jiu, or they had a relationship. This chapter is an extra chapter about Xue Shi'an. Old man Xue and Pingjiu are both senior, and Chen Yu wants to threaten him, "I think you are senior Pingjiu and let you go. Please don't force me to do certain things." What kind of evil thing has he done that makes you want to let him go? How can I force you? Kill you? You advise your best friends to protect themselves in relationships, and your best friend turns around and says this, are you speechless? Not to mention Lu Mingxiao, a cannon fodder girl. I didn't enjoy any happiness from beginning to end. I grew up like a fool in the mountains until I was about 20 years old, and my father and senior brothers didn't accompany me. In fact, it was useless to accompany me. We all know that there is a stage in a little girl's growth when she needs to communicate with people of the same sex. I went down the mountain by myself and was abducted to a place like that. There was no understanding between men and women, but I also suffered a lot of violence and was inexplicably poisoned. Why? Why did you ruin so many people's lives just to lure a god like Lu Qiuhong over? What qualifications do you have? Just because you saw a cloud? The clouds are still unlucky. Your own pain is never a reason to attack others. Am I allowed to rob a bank just because I'm poor? Chen Yu never seemed to feel that he was wrong. Did he regret those years after losing Pingjiu? Do you realize that it was wrong for you to hurt Heijiu and hurt others? No! It's still the same when I see people. If you don't come, I'll go crazy. What kind of woman in the palace, I don't care if she suffers or not? All I know is my pain. Even if she picks up food for me, I will shame her so much that she cannot get off the stage. So your heart is made of flesh? The whole world revolves around you? Later in the village, too, because I was in a bad mood, I told the villagers who came to see the doctor to get away as far as they could. What if someone really has an emergency and loses his life? Not give a damn about! I only want the person I like to accompany me, what does your life and death have to do with me? Tianhuang nobleman, you are so selfish... How many people's blood have you sucked in growing up? Alas, the more I type, the more I feel that Chen Yu is really not good enough for Ping Jiu... If you say that Ping Jiu had feelings for him during the first few chapters of the wedding, then it should be gone after that. He himself said that seeing Chen Yu was just like a nightmare. I even thought, if Shen Haoxuan and Xiao Hexiu also go crazy, and I can't live without you being with me, would it be better for Pingjiu to be with them? At least they won't set up traps for him, won't hurt his loved ones, and won't lose even the most basic sympathy as a human being. Of course, the above is just my personal opinion. It is the author's freedom how to arrange the characters in his works. It was also after I got a piece of white jade that it was my turn to lament the slight flaws on it. Anyway, thank you for such a good article, and wish you a smooth life!
Why should Gong cook for him? What's the use of it? ! How can he be so virtuous? His temper has never changed. He is tough and can only attack, selfish and self-centered. The person he loves most is himself!
A healthy and equal relationship is good, but a rolling love relationship is really annoying... Chen Yu just calculated on others and ended up playing with himself. He is a born power animal. In the end, it is not easy to talk about power, fame, wealth and honor. The character design of Ping Jiu is so cool, with the bright moon hanging high in the sky, it's like an immortal coming to the human world to survive a love tribulation.
I don't deserve this! ! It's not worth it to be a substitute. Such a gentle person like Chen Jing is being tied up like this.
I saw the tweet again, but found out that I had read it before, and got angry again. My wife wrote it so well, and this feeling made me so angry again. In the end, I still don't understand. Some things are wrong just because they are wrong. You can't just write off the mistake by recognizing it. There is no such thing as atonement. Lu is really miserable to encounter such a thing.
He is a cold, domineering and ambitious prince He is a swordsman with unparalleled martial arts skills. Once you enter the chess game, the tracks of destiny have already secretly connected. Time is also destiny, and it has its own destiny. He runs away, he chases, he can't fly!
The torture is still mild, Gong is really soft-hearted, and the idea of suffering has never stopped???
After reading it, I felt a little disappointed. In fact, I watched Sacrifice Sword first and then Pingjiu. After all, Pingjiu is not like Zhao Xingzhou. Although he is the same happy and unrestrained love and hatred, his life is really bumpy. He has lived in deception for the first half of his life, and the only two people he recognizes are the two people who have betrayed him the most. There is no sect where the top and bottom work together, and there are no friends who can chat and argue casually. If Xue Shi'an also goes to the earth in the future, who else can be called an old friend? It would be nice if there were more explanations in the extra chapter. We could see Pingjiu's daily life on the mountain before Lu Yipin's accident and his discussions down the mountain. Let us know that he also has many friends from other sects like Shen Haoxuan who have known each other since childhood. This will make us feel more at ease. In the future, we can have wine and chat with friends when we meet friends when traveling in the world. . . And what about the modern drama we promised x Speaking of which, Chen Yu is not like Chen Shiyi. He is destined to bring half of the pain to Ping Jiu in his life, and then spend his whole life to repay it. Some people think that he has not been abused too much, which is understandable! Ping Jiu has been taking care of him all the way. Even in the end, the pursuit of his husband was just like self-abuse like the ancient Ba Zongwen. He chased Ping Jiu like a ghost and begged him not to leave. Beware of anyone who gets close to Ping Jiu. In addition to handing over the country and rebuilding Pingyuan Mountain, you should also take some practical actions to be good to Ping Jiu! Is it possessiveness or true love? Hey, he is good at living in deep palaces, so maybe he doesn't understand. He feels that love means holding it tightly in his hands, tearing it apart and swallowing it. I hope he can slowly understand that true love means giving everything to him, loving everything he loves, and respecting his every thought. Although Pingjiu may not need anything now, gold, silver, wealth, country, beauty are like floating clouds to him, and now he has the only freedom he wants. , But Chen Yu should also try to lower his stature and learn to cook and wash clothes () Yun also wants to live a simple life hhh I hope Chen Yu can slowly make up for it in the future, hold everything in front of Ping Jiu, and hand over the reins of controlling himself to his hands, and then talk about other things. After all, this is an ancient novel written ten years ago. I wonder if Luobo Dada would have dealt with it differently if he were to write about Pingjiu now. . . In fact, I am an offensive and control person. I was attracted to read Heijiu by the literature of Brother Gou Sacrificing Swords. However, in the end, it seemed that there was no control at all. I just lamented this story, as if I had seen a period in the history of the Yellow River. A hero who hates the world and is in love with the world. The hero who is the best in the world but can't protect anything in the end. . . Anyway, I really like the last paragraph of the extra chapter. In the world of mortals, who can be exempted from the vulgarity? The world is vast and you are free. Goodbye Pingjiu, goodbye Lu Qiuhong.
After reading Pingjiu in two days, when I turned to the last page, I suddenly remembered what Shen Haoxuan said to Pingjiu in the Yancheng Tavern: If you are really trapped one day, in the end, you will not want to leave again. Pingjiu and Chen Yu struggled and fell in this vast love and hate. After Pingjiu faked his death, Chen Yu sat alone in a high palace. He looked up at night and looked at the sword left by his sweetheart. It took him four years to wake up. He had been in the palace since he was a child, fighting for power and plotting against his loved ones. After ascending to the throne at the pinnacle of power, his heart told him that he only wanted love and not power. It's Pingjiu and Lu Qiuhong. There are too many unspeakable contradictions in the master's attitude towards him. The master is proud of him, but also wants him to die early. Chen Yu loves him true, but there are too many calculations involved. Life in the world is like flying in the snow. Lu Qiuhong became famous all over the world with his free and easy life at a young age. After encountering great changes, he became anonymous and wandered alone in the world. Nothing can really bind Pingjiu. You can't catch such a person and keep him. He can only love and hate him in the world of mortals if he is willing to make a prison.
The character creation in this article is great. The transformations of Ping Jiu and Chen Yu, and the ordinary rain in the mountains are frightening to watch. The logic lines and plot twists are also great, and the supporting characters are also very cute. I have seen many readers who hate Chen Yu in Zhui Wen. I think it is understandable. Although he is a prince, he controls the world by planning and fighting for himself. Every step has a back-up plan. He is a wise man and leaves no room for others or himself. But Pingjiu is a variable. Lu Qiuhong once broke into Chen Yu's life, burning and passionate, just like the sentence "If I had never seen the sun, I might endure the darkness." After seeing different scenery, naturally he would not be willing to sit in a well and watch the sky. Whether it is Lu Qiuhong or Pingjiu under Lu Qiuhong's pseudonym, they are free clouds. Will be willing to die for the one you love but not willing to give up your freedom for anything. Chen Yu couldn't catch Ping Jiu, he was sick, terminally ill, and the other party was his medicine. So in the end, Chen Yu went from being strong to giving the choice to Lu Qiuhong, which is considered a compromise. People like Chen Yu would rather bend than bend, and are willing to compromise for one person. This is basically what I think he is. I have much more complicated feelings about Pingjiu. He was a wild and carefree young man, and I can still imagine the young man's cheerful character and high-spiritedness from just a few reminiscences. It's really heartbreaking to have everything in the world turn into this, and I couldn't be more sorry that Baojian Mengchen could not be more regretful. From depression to relief, graceful and graceful, Xiao Shuxuanju, nothing could be better. In the end, he took Chen Yu away, regardless of the reason, so he let himself go. I have limited knowledge and cannot describe the full charm of this article. I really like this article. Finally, I would like to thank the author's wife for writing such a good article.
