For Fans of Dominant, Adored Seme: Passable for Now
Only a tiny handful I can finish; for most, I don’t read the ending. The attacking male leads are written pretty well. Some have a receiving male lead, but the attacking lead is so swoon-worthy. I only read for the attacking lead. Lots of personal commentary and reviews
① Free Reads I’ll Finish Sooner or Later (BL)
It's all free, so you'd be missing out if you didn't read it. Feel free to leave recommendations in the comments. Let's support creators who write for the love of it! [This list is full. Find more in 2]
Worth a Look If You're Patient
Danmei and romance, long novels over 500,000 words (quite a few are over a million). P.S. The original cutoff was 600,000 words, but I found some really good novels over 500,000 and decided to lower the bar.
Full Collection: Cultivation Stories
For my own reference when checking which books I've fully subscribed to.
Must-Read Masterpieces
So satisfying to binge in one go. This is one of those series that feels fresh every time. I'll wait until I've forgotten it all, then dive back in and enjoy it all over again.
Worth Rereading
I love all kinds: shou-focused, gong-focused, power couples, strong gong and weaker shou, and shou doting on gong. They're all here. (The star ratings don't reflect how good they are. Every book on this list is worth rereading over and over!!)
A Collection of High-Quality Ancient BL Novels with Brilliant Couples and Political Scheming
Keywords: political intrigue / business management / fantasy / world-building / imperial exams / mystery / Republican era / ancient times (Ongoing updates. I'm a tough grader, so three stars is a high score. Good for when you're out of things to read.)
Combative Couples
A record of rival couples I've read about. I prefer couples who are confidants, stand on opposing sides yet ultimately reach the same destination, and love each other while fighting. If they don't actually try to kill each other, I consider it just playful squabbling.
A Mixed Reading List
These are all ones I especially love! There are stories with a dominant top and stories with a dominant bottom. Perfect for readers who enjoy a bit of everything!
Even Broke Readers Need Jinjiang, Part 1
No Tragic Stories
I have no idea what this means. It just told me to give three or four stars.
The Amazing Stories That Hit All My Kinks
I read both top and bottom POVs, and these are worth rereading. I prefer nonhuman characters, horror, cultivation, Western fantasy, and sci-fi, with strong couples, mutual devotion, and ensemble casts. Plot over romance
A Record of the Best Books I've Read
I only read shou-centric stories. Anyone with similar tastes, please recommend some books to me! I'm in a reading slump, sob sob sob
Hunting for Treasures in Old-School Novels (But Not That Old)
Danmei, romance, and yuri stories from 2017 or earlier (including 2017). The classics never go out of style, even if 2017 doesn't feel that long ago. It's been nine years, though.
Opposed Identities
Danmei and romance: I still fell in love with you
Great Free Reads (Updated from Time to Time)
100% Hopeless Romantics
The top. My definition of a truly love-struck character: losing you means losing the whole world; you are my whole world; if you die, I’ll die too, and the whole world can go to hell (?).
Constantly Rereading
Danmei and white-moonlight love interests are the best.

Shixiong and shidi??

I read this article before but didn't finish it. However, I read another article by the same author and found it very interesting, so I figured this article couldn't be bad either. Therefore, I reopened it and was pleasantly surprised. This is a very good article (in my opinion).
It's such a shame I finished it so quickly. I wish I could lose my memory and read it again 😭. Right now, "Nemesis" is my absolute favorite ancient romance novel... I've never read any other novel where the confrontation and bickering were written so subtly and memorablely. This "Nemesis" flavor is just so satisfying! 69, You two must love and hate each other for a lifetime, okay?
When I first read this story, I hadn't yet read Jin Guang, but after finishing it, I fell in love with Wen Chi and became a huge fan of Kuang... I'm very grateful to the author for this story. As a classic BL novel, it's exceptionally well-written and successfully introduced me and some friends to Jin Guang and Wen Chi, allowing me to experience such a fascinating and expansive story as puppet theater.
Okay, I'm fine with the physical book being released slowly. Please write more side stories, I want to see 6 Psychology and the later events! [Empty bowl][empty bowl][empty bowl][empty bowl][empty bowl][empty bowl]
I could never find such a perfect nemesis again 🙏 Two lifetimes entangled, a fight to the death, each the most important person in the other's life... I felt empty for a long time after watching it, it was so delicious! Liu Jiu, I hope you guys are happy! [Hugging thigh]
This seems to be the ending I wanted to see. Unlike the clichéd endings where they confess their feelings and get together, this one involves reconciliation, no longer wanting to kill each other, and becoming close friends. The unspoken message speaks volumes.
It's amazing how long this story seemed when I was a child, but now, rereading it, I found myself finishing it without even realizing it, leaving me wanting more. The ending also has a puppet show feel to it, not quite an ending at all. Maybe I should write another one? I don't really know what else to write, because Xiao Liu and Xiao Jiu's stories are already quite complete.
Will I ever see an extra chapter in my lifetime? [Pigeon emoji]
I've lost count of how many times I've read this story. After reading the author's new work, this one didn't appeal to me 😭 Maybe I just prefer the characters in this story~ I hope to see 69 again.
Back then, I was so eager to follow the serialization, and rereading it years later still brings a unique enjoyment. As I've grown older, I've gained different understandings of the characters and plot. Indeed, good stories always offer something new with each reading. Forever love Wen Chi and 69!! (After finishing this story, I'm going to reread *Guang* again.)
