I read a bit of everything, but lean toward BG. Any book with a substantial review has been read in full. My taste is subjective. Dealbreakers: violent, coercive men; negative gender stereotypes; and golden fingers.
Finished Reading List 4
BL. I add a book whenever I finish one. I’m not good at writing glowing reviews or dishing out lavish praise. If I paid for the whole book, it must have something going for it, and it was good enough to keep reading. I’ll have more to say when I’m complaining.
Highly Recommended: Some Ratings Contain Spoilers
[I’m a protagonist enthusiast, and most of these focus on the main plot] I’ve read every one of these and highly recommend them. No warnings for potential dealbreakers, so please stop reading if they’re not to your taste. Thanks! (A few of them have some angst.)
Original Works I Have Read
Which book did I only read a little of? I’ll sort this out when I have time. I plan to write reviews. These aren’t all recommendations, just a record.
Satisfying, Indulgent Everyone-Loves-the-Protagonist Stories with Beautiful Leads
All the protagonists are great-looking. There are stories with a top protagonist, a bottom protagonist, and no pairing. Some are mindless fun, while others have actual plots. My tastes are pretty lowbrow, so people with lowbrow tastes are welcome to enjoy these recommendations.

For my own records
Handpicked BL Novels
A real mix of tastes.
Showbiz BL
Nostalgia earns a few extra points, but not many. The recommendation stars match the rating stars. I usually rate on my first read, so there may be some bias, but anything I fully subscribed to and gave five stars is an absolute must-read.
Underrated but Great
A rather subjective list of recommendations, mostly lesser-known stories. I personally prefer older love interests, melodrama, well-balanced plots and romance, smooth prose, and originality. I don’t self-insert, I just read.

CP Sister's Personal Picks (Ongoing)
Most are told from the bottom's perspective. There are both top-leaning and bottom-leaning balanced portrayals, all within what I personally enjoy.
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.
Boys' Love
Mainly bottom protagonists
All Kinds of BL
A few amazing books. Some are popular, some are obscure, but they're all good. I'll keep adding more.
Danmei: It Is Just Really Good
I'm an omnivore: I love romance, plot, satisfying stories, plot-heavy satisfying stories, and romance-heavy satisfying stories. Basically, if it's good, I love it. What's wrong with that?
My Reading Log: I Read Everything
Half original fiction, half fanfiction. An 8 means pretty good, but I wouldn't reread it; 9–9.4 means good, but I won't revisit it anytime soon; 9.5 and up means a masterpiece, one I'll read over and over.
Mostly Sweet Stories
Most are sweet stories, with a few angsty ones.
Highly Recommended
Everything here is rated four stars, four and a half stars, or five stars. If it doesn’t hit any of my dealbreakers, the couple should be devoted to each other, pure love all the way! (Books with the same rating may vary in quality.)
Showbiz Stories
Keeping track of the showbiz novels I've read. I tend to prefer stories about actors and love every great story-within-a-story. For my ratings, the story-within-a-story counts for far more than anything else.
Entertainment Industry Novels
Danmei, bottom-focused, feel-good and sweet.
Finished and Fully Purchased (For My Eyes Only)
I have eclectic tastes (anything but insect-themed stories; sometimes I only realize a book has bugs after buying it). I tend to prefer historical danmei. If the writing is decent, I usually give it three or four stars; five stars means it’s a personal favorite.
The Years I Went Treasure-Hunting on Lǜjiāng (Mostly Obscure Reads)
A reading and ranting log by a picky but eclectic bookworm. I read both top-led and bottom-led stories. I prefer lighthearted reads that aren't dumbed down or mindless. Check out my other list for highly recommended serious stories!
Books I Can Finish
I made this reading list for the Mid-Autumn Festival event, then realized it's so convenient for saving my thoughts after reading! The idea is to keep track of books with something worthwhile to offer that I was able to finish!

The author has really written a lot of thoughts in this book. Some of the narrations in the text can also reveal his life experience and insights, and the content of the expression is also meaningful. The character stories are brisk and generous, which is very interesting. There are also people who insisted on (or carried out) such creation in the article ten years ago, which touched me very much. This article does not have a deep story or complicated writing style, but The plot is concise and ingenious, and it writes in a pleasant atmosphere about many phenomena that should be paid attention to in the online literary world and even the Internet (for example, the screenwriters who focus on the author) but are not well represented. Generally speaking, the writing style can be seen as heavy and complicated in thoughtful actions, or as a huge crochet arrangement, with a sense of cleverness and exaggeration that is out of touch with reality. The author combines these two aspects very well. On the basis of online articles, he combines thinking about story characters and some personal imagination and experiences very well. Compared with similar online articles today, the volume is also light, making it really easy to read. Hope to see more such masterpieces again.
The first time I saw this book was a few years ago, in the comment section of a forum, it received rave reviews, so I silently put this book into my to-read list. However, the essence of this to-read list is like my paper books, the more I buy, the less I read. It feels good to stock up on books, and it feels good to keep stocking up. I give up reading and become a collector. But fate is so magical. During the year-end article hoarding activity, I saw this book again. The review section still received rave reviews, so I decisively bought it and hoarded it. In the blink of an eye, another half year has passed. Half a year after I bought this book, I finally opened it and read it to the end. I deeply reflected on it again and decided not to use the title of the book next time. When I encounter good writing, I always feel deeply about the impoverishment of my own language, and I don't know how to express my thoughts. Simple love is easy to express, but it becomes difficult to find the source of this love. Did the initial love sprout from a certain plot or a certain line? Is it the accumulation of time and again, or is it an emotional resonance with the author that is secretly hidden? I can only think of where to write. The encounter between the two protagonists began in Li Congyi's play "Proton", which is Li Cong's life and a script that runs through the entire book. It is also the red thread that ties the two "ancients" who were "forgotten by the times" together after decades. While I was reading, I kept wondering when the filming of this drama would start. Until the end, I suddenly realized that it didn't actually matter whether "Proton" was filmed or not. The appearance of the script comes from the fact that Li Congyi in this life has been unable to receive roles for a long time because he refused to unspoken rules, so he wrote a script from his past life in order to get the opportunity to film. The birth of this script brought with it the resentment and unwillingness of Li Cong in his previous life, and also the frustration of Li Congyi in this life. In his previous life, he was a member of the royal family but lived like a prisoner in another country. In this life, he has a beautiful face and acting talent but cannot appear on the screen. The past life and this life are equally full of ups and downs, just like the last words, "Nothing is special to others, but hatred to God." Why is fate so arranged? People often talk about life and death, and novels joke about time travel, but these are just the melancholy and imagination of living people. What would it be like if one day someone really crossed the boundary between life and death, crossed the river of time and space, and was reborn in another place with the memories of the past? Is it the joy of being reborn? Or do you feel intimidated by the unfamiliar environment? When you were growing up, did you feel frustrated that you were an adult but had to pretend to be childish? Ever wonder if past memories are real or fantasy? Will you question your own existence? However, no matter what kind of emotion it is, all of this cannot be expressed in words, which is really a huge loneliness. Until Li Congyi met Chen Daichuan, until Chen Daichuan met Li Congyi. The first thing to recognize is the soul, and then the identity. They are all "ancients" who were brought to the future by fate. Fate gave them the gift of rebirth, but also cruelly allowed them to look back at their homeland through distant time. I once heard a saying that whoever you identify with is who you are. They are Li Congyi and Chen Daichuan, as well as Li Cong and Xuanci. From the feudal dynasty to the new society, the gap caused by time cannot be bridged, and they are destined to be aliens of this era. Therefore, it is logical that they have become each other's anchors in this era, important and irreplaceable existences. However, this has also led to the hesitation of the emotional line. Although they already have a good impression of each other, they are still unable to express their feelings without being sure of each other's intentions. The more important it is, the more hesitant it is. If the other party has no intention of being with me, will this only anchor point be lost? But after all, feelings cannot be hidden. The longer they brew, the more intense they explode. Finally, they catch each other. Chen Daichuan no longer needs more Nanxuan cultural relics, he has obtained Li Congyi, who is full of beauty and hope, and Li Congyi, who has achieved both career and love, no longer needs "Proton", he has already obtained happiness. The career line of this book is also a highlight. Li Congyi's growth and changes are hidden in every script, and every script written by Teacher Ye is also exciting enough. This book review only talks about feelings and not career, so I won't go into details here, otherwise I could probably write another thousand words. The atmosphere of the whole book is not heavy, and can even be said to be quite relaxed and pleasant. This is largely due to Li Congyi's character. In the past, people who evaluated Li Congyi's character were called narcissists, but now we have a better new word - a sense of deservingness. One of our protagonists, Li Congyi, is such a great beauty with a high sense of deservingness. From this aspect, Teacher Ye is really forward-looking, and protagonists with this kind of personality are becoming more and more popular now. Finally, I would like to thank Mr. Ye Chennian for bringing such an excellent novel, which also inspired me to write such a long review in one go.
Wow, the writing is so good. It feels like I'm back to a novel from several years ago. The written plot also feels solid. Ahhhhhhh it's beautiful. However, the plot was very different from what I thought. I originally thought that the script written by the protagonist was the highlight, but it turned out that I didn't film it from beginning to end.
It is a very surprising book. The whole book focuses on the growth of Li Congyi in the early stage, watching him become more and more powerful and outstanding [touching his head] Although the emotional line advances slowly, Li Lu's feelings later on also come naturally. It is a wonderful year with trust, support and support. I hope you will always be happy! In addition, the script's ideas and concepts are great [Come on]
Oh my god, why am I just seeing this now? I really like it.
2025.1.1 Claw. Great article, although the ending is really rushed. But I really enjoyed this story.
It's so good. I haven't read it for a long time. I read it in one go and I'm still not satisfied.
I can't bear to finish it, I want to see the if line, it's so well written! Why is it so short [crying]
The ending is full of flowers ~ woo woo hoo ~ I want to see them film "Proton" together! Although I know that leaving blank space will give people unlimited imagination, as if their world will continue to evolve, but I really want to see it! 2025.12.25 Stay
I was very lucky to click on this article during the article hoarding event, and I really like it. Thanks to the author for presenting us with such a touching story a few years ago.
