Great Plot, Great Romance, or Both

For my records. Most are rated above four stars, but for personal reasons I don't like giving five stars.

Level B
33Books4Follows3dUpdated

Court Intrigue, Wuxia, and Power Plays

Mostly historical fantasy settings, though I won't necessarily file them under historical fiction. The focus is on the imperial court and palace. There may be some jianghu or wuxia stories, but the court should make up more of the novel overall.

Slow and Steady Recommendations

I think I'll use this to keep track of the stories I've read and the ones I particularly liked and want to record my thoughts on.

Come Get Some Reheated Leftovers, Ladies!

Underrated stories, all purely subjective. Mostly BL.

Top-Centric Stories (Not Necessarily Mutual Pampering, but No Weak-in-Bed Tops)

I like strong, self-indulgent tops who make an exception for love; I like the tops and bottoms yearning for each other, hate-to-love sex, and mutual pampering. Both sweet and melodramatic stories. I can't stand everyone-falls-for-the-protagonist setups, weak bottoms, insectoid races, or bland tops.

Historical Danmei I Love

I really love historical BL too

Historical BL | Romance Is Everything (Updated)

I'm an indiscriminate shipper who sees romance everywhere. These are fully purchased historical BL stories I've recommended over the years. I love relationships between equals, and I judge stories by the prose, plot, and characters' brains. I'll flag a few things that might be dealbreakers; if nothing's noted, both leads are inexperienced.

Maybe You'd Enjoy Historical BL Too

Includes cultivation and fantasy elements. Long reviews don’t mean I’m especially invested in the book; I just happened to read and review it recently. The short reviews are for books I read a while ago, so I don’t remember the plots very well.

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.

Novels I’ve Read and Can’t Stop Thinking About

Where can I find good, wholesome stories...

Level A
14Books9Follows1moUpdated

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.

Five-Star Ancient-Era Danmei Worth Rereading

Wuxia, fantasy, and court politics.

Good Novels Saved for Myself (No Favorite Character Bias)

Novels whose plots I personally enjoyed, or whose romances I found compelling (though they might not be compelling, they just make a good match).

Level C

Rereads for Personal Use

Keeping track of my thoughts and favorite satisfying moments after reading. This list is full of beautiful, strong, tragic characters, no-CP stories, and bad endings. I'll revisit them when I have time, since I've almost forgotten what they're about. Why is damn Jinjiang always glitching?

Original BL Reading Notes 1

CPJ, bottom-leaning. No insulting the other half of the ship, no breaking up or reversing the ship, and no self-insert romance. Any genre is fine. Pregnancy is a hard no.

Level B
100Books57Follows1moUpdated

Trainwreck Top Stories

Basic rules: 1. It has to be a good story. 2. Both the top and bottom must be main characters.

Level C

Gong-Focused (No Wimpy Tops)

My favorites: possessive love and taking by force / forcing someone into prostitution / coercive puppy training / tangled pure love / clear power imbalance / domineering CEO bottoms / motherly bottoms / slender, affection-starved bottoms / aloof, high-minded bottoms

Stories Read by a Non-Mainstream CP Fan

I’m not a top stan or a bottom stan. These are stories I’ve saved so I can revisit them. I don’t like harems, whether the top or bottom is the one adored by everyone. I like mutual affection, and I don’t read short or weak tops.

A Record of the Top-Dom Stories I Like

Mutual pampering or tops doting on bottoms; I prefer dog-like tops and cat-like bottoms

Level A

Stories from the Emperor's Point of View

Emperor enthusiast and protagonist enthusiast. The emperor is the dominant partner. Most are top-protagonist or no-CP stories; the few with bottom protagonists feature strong personalities too. There are romance, world-building, and conquest stories.

For Personal Use

I used to have no habit of leaving reviews... There are both top- and bottom-focused stories, most featuring equally matched couples. Dog-like tops will always have a special place in my heart.
