When I Can’t Find a Novel to Read (BG Edition)

All kinds of BG romance: mostly historical, modern, period, xianxia, and post-apocalyptic. I love sweet stories and happy endings that lift my spirits, and I adore well-written takes on classic tropes!!

Being a Mary Sue Is a Vibe

A universal love interest with multiple admirers? A harem and a Mary Sue? It's just a certain vibe~ I've combined this with my list of novels featuring crazy male leads. *The quality varies wildly. Tossing out the ones that are all payoff and no substance.

Novels I Binge-Read in One Sitting

Lately, it's become rarer and rarer for me to finish a novel in one sitting. The ones I keep following to the end either have especially beautiful writing or really hit my personal preferences...

Delicious Reads

Stories I like and can get into. No mistreating the female lead; I prefer a sweet tone, adored-by-all stories, female-lead worship, and fluffy romances

Into Brooding, Possessive Men and Faux-Incest Romance? Come On In!

I'm a fan of pseudo-incest, so here are some books in that genre I've read on Jinjiang. My reviews may be heavily influenced by personal preferences, so take them with a grain of salt.

Hey, Underclassman, Want Some Dog-Blood Drama?

Forced possession, groveling redemption, melodrama, old-school angst, triggering tropes, stand-ins, white moonlights, unrequited devotion, and so on. Everyone else hates you, but I have unusual tastes. For personal use. Omnivorous. No trigger warnings, and I don’t avoid authors based on gossip.

Niche BG Reads, Part One

A personal archive of niche original BG stories and derivative fan fiction, with a preference for relationship-focused stories and some older works. A few highly collected works are included. Entirely based on my personal tastes.

Take Her Brother Away, Now

BG, incest between siblings, foster-family trope, for my own use. No warnings, no author-drama filtering. Picky tastes and a weird appetite, but I can stomach anything. Only true warriors dare to look for something to read here.

Some Brother-Sister Stories (Purely Platonic)

I searched for brother-and-sister romances, and the first result was a BL list. I can’t take it anymore, so I’m making a pure romance list for stories I’ve read about non-blood-related adoptive siblings, pseudo-siblings, older men, and childhood sweethearts.

Older Love Interests Are the Best

Fine, I admit older love interests are my thing. Romance or danmei, either works. The more pronounced the age gap, the tastier!

Level B

Transmigration and Rebirth Stories

Even when the leads transmigrate or are reborn, they change their original lives and destinies through their own circumstances and hard work. I’m not too fond of brainless wish-fulfillment stories.
