01 Seme-Centric
Top-led stories I've finished and haven't removed from my favorites. Since four stars on Jinjiang is already a low rating, most get five stars. My actual personal rating is in the description.
Top-Dom Male Lead Collection 3
Great writing, a great plot, or both
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-Dom Protagonists, Trying to Keep Things Fair
I stick to pure romance with one couple, and no love-triangle chaos, one-sided crushes, or multi-person ambiguity! I don't read dark, obsessive, possessive types. I'm an ultimate sweet-romance fan. Dog-training fiction is a hard no for me.
Love Is the Only Thing
For my own use. I usually read dumb stories... I only read stories with a top as the main character and mutual pampering. I’m a top fan, so I don’t read stories where the top is weak in bed or a horny sex fiend. (Very subjective. When I’m into the top, I can put up with a lot.)
Top-Centric Stories
All of these are books I finished after buying the complete editions. Just my personal opinions!!! This is part reading log, part recommendations and content warnings. May bad luck stay away! The list is complete; my neighboring top-centric list 2.0 is still being updated~
Top-Seme Stories
My rating scale: 5 stars: excellent writing and plot; 4 stars: better than average; 3 stars: good for passing the time
Top POV, 100% Subscribed
100% subscribed to top-protagonist stories, and I love shipping couples
Male-Protagonist Romance
These are all books I enjoyed when I read them. I’m not a top stan, but I don’t like very weak tops. Some are older, so I can’t remember the details.
Top-Protagonist, Sweet Romance
All fully purchased, shou-led stories. No weak gong protagonists or gong-mommies; gong-mommies, stay away from me... I like strong, swoon-worthy gong protagonists with beautiful, strong shou protagonists. They both need to dote on each other, and the couple should respect one another!
2025 Reads
Keeping track of the books I read in 2025
Fully Purchased Books
Worth revisiting often
After 80 Years of Reading, Here's a List of the Good Ones
I like bottom-loving fans of the top, but I also enjoy healthy, mutual relationships (I'll note when I think a story is mutual).
Reading Log: Top
For my own reference. I've also put books I've removed from my favorites here. I prefer strong gong and strong shou, and can't stand weak, whiny gong or weak shou.
Hidden Gems
Underrated, unusual, weirdly niche, and they really stay with you.
Worth a Read, Protagonist Pursues
The stories are decent, or they have moments that moved me, or they were recommended by friends. Worth reading to kill time when bored. Too lazy to write warnings and summaries. My personal rating system applies.
Top Male Protagonist Fics
Subjective ratings, and I rate conservatively based on my preferences (feel free to add one star to each rating).
The Softest Place in My Heart
Mostly top-focused, with one or two bottom-focused books. These are all books I’ve read and loved many times. Almost all have strongly mutual affection, with both leads clearly in love. My tastes run to older, strong characters and handsome bottoms.
Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day Recommendations
Some sweet, mutually devoted couples with a slight gong-leaning dynamic, cuddling up together
Top-Led Stories with Mutual Pampering
Some danmei stories with the gong as the protagonist that I've read and enjoyed. I prefer plot-focused stories. The career or growth arcs may lean toward the gong, but the romance is guaranteed to be mutually doting. No doormats, no lukewarm relationships.
For Passing the Time
Readable.
Completed Stories with a Top Protagonist
All readable, and I’ve finished them all. Some are masterpieces, and almost all are gong-centric. Brief reviews just mean I didn’t feel like writing more, not that the reviewed ones are better.
Danmei, Completed and Fully Subscribed
A grab bag of quick transmigration and infinite-flow stories. These are just my personal opinions. Most of them were worth reading if I was willing to buy every chapter... probably.
Seme Lead, Seme Lead
I like stories told from the top's perspective, where the couple dotes on each other. I love crazy, formidable tops, green-tea tops, and the like.

Five hundred years? A thousand years? Why do I feel so sorry for them? I can still see them in love in several lifetimes of reincarnation. . .
Ah? Is this gone? Humph?
After saving the world, you have to go back to study and take the college entrance examination. It's so miserable for you two (x
Finished spreading flowers! It just feels like a pity. This book could actually have been written as a long novel in the form of a starting point. In that case, it might not be as popular as it is. But I'm still grateful for meeting you. After a long period of literary drought, it's really a time of drought.
We will live forever together, but high school students still have to take the college entrance examination and go to college hahaha
With you, I will live forever, and together we will never grow old [Come on] [Red Heart]
I've seen it but I can't remember it. It seems very good.
It's good to watch - the ending is pretty good, but the ending feels a little rushed.
Both of them are in harmony, Chitose is a perfect match!
Happy, so sweet www, so to put it another way, if I am single from now on, will I say goodbye sooner or later?
