Lantern Light on Peach Blossoms

Readable to the End

Characters 30, prose 25, plot 25, pacing 20 (at least 80/100). The protagonist is at least as smart as I am, with above-average morals. Four stars only because I couldn't give it five.

Shipping Couples

Stories to revisit over and over when you want to ship the couples. (Four stars is the maximum.)

Reviews

I'm open to all kinds, but I do have my limits. kk and cpj can both find things they dislike in this list. I'm too lazy to read the gossip and warnings. I've subscribed to everything, so cut me some slack.

A Pretty Face Is the Ultimate Asset

Personal Taste

The Investiture of the Gods

For my own records. A fan of cultivation and ancient fantasy, and I basically only read BL. I'm purely in it for the looks, so as long as it's not custom-made content, I can usually enjoy a few bites. If I haven't bought the full set, it's because there are no extras or they're locked.

Pure Love Novel Reviews

I'm an extreme omnivore and read a lot of stories with a bottom as the main character. I have a deep love for beautiful, strong, and tragic characters, beloved-by-all protagonists, heart-wrenching romances, overwrought melodrama, cultivation, and sci-fi. There's also some mutual topping and protagonist-led conquest.

CPJ Stories with a More Submissive Bottom

My CP tastes lean toward the bottom. I like couples where both sides are equally into each other, but the top spoils the bottom. I enjoy stories with a good balance of plot and romance. My star ratings aren't ranked, but five stars means it's definitely good. If you dislike something, just steer clear.

The Account That Respects Tragic, Beautiful, Strong Bottoms the Most

The author avoids their own squicks. Use the search function. I personally love beautiful but tragic characters, so if anyone shares my taste, recommendations would be even more welcome. Drooling...

Cute Bottoms

What I love: I stopped writing it down because people kept reporting me. Just check the reading list yourselves (4,000+ reports). Some authors include content that may bother you, so don't read if that's a concern.

Personal Favorites

Memorable Beautiful, Strong, Charismatic, and Adorable Bottoms

Focused on the receiver's characterization and making each character distinct. Just keeping these for myself.

My Personal Five-Star List (For an I-Love-Bottoms Reader)

Beautiful, strong, and tragic bottoms, lovesick bottoms, saintly bottoms, spoiled rich-lady bottoms who love making a fuss. I enjoy treating male characters like dolls. I can't guarantee the top is human, but I can guarantee the bottom is perfect. This is a personal reading list, not a recommendation list.
