They're free now, so you'd be missing out if you didn't read them. Got any recommendations? Leave a comment and let's support the authors who write for love! [This list is full, please visit list ②]
Modern Romance You Can't Miss
I like relationships that feel realistic and make sense. I’ve read most of the romance novels on the list; I dropped many of the ones that didn’t make it.
Top Picks
Reading log. Three stars usually means it’s still being serialized; four means it’s complete.
Completed Protagonist-Attacker Stories
My tastes: dominant, overpowered, controlling, scummy gong, plus sickly, gloomy, seductive shou. If the writing and story are good, I'm in.
Fine Wines to Savor Again and Again
Classic works and great stories to enjoy together.
Urban Life Guide ②
The first batch of modern urban danmei novels I've read
One Day, I'll Read Them All Again
A rereading list for myself.
For Personal Use
Keeping track of books I’ve read, good and bad. (I’m partial to wicked women, GB, strong women with weaker men, female-centered stories, men suffering, and all-around harems. I’ll read anything except top-focused stories.)
Top-Only Stories
Main-gong stories I've finished over the years, saved for my own reference
Free BL Picks 2
A selection of free BL stories. The first list is on my reader profile. Every story is free and one I've read. I'll keep updating!
BL Reading List
Both dominant and submissive leads are fine. These are purely subjective opinions, and I prefer couples who are evenly matched. Looking for recommendations with dual perspectives, first-person narration, switching, or selfcest. No coddled spouses or silly beauties, please.
Modern BL Without Fantasy Elements
As the title says, urban slice-of-life, school life, showbiz, and so on. No supernatural or fantasy elements like being reborn, transmigrating, or encountering ghosts.
This List Is Just So Satisfying
Strong female leads, GB, villainesses, and stories for top enthusiasts. I don't read danmei with bottom protagonists. This is a mixed-bag list, and they're all satisfying. A few exceptions have great plots that make up for their flaws.
Ten Years of Reading: A Little of Everything (2)
I’ve reread every one of these at least once. I prefer plot-driven stories and leads who take the initiative in romance. There’s both BG and BL.
Top
Some pretty good stories I've read with a top-focused perspective.
Worth Revisiting
A good novel has a charm that lingers in your memory

Stories centered on daily life, school, esports, the entertainment industry, and romance
Archive of BL Novels from the Top's Perspective, by an I-Seme Fan

Reader comments 47
Translated by Google Translate


























































































































There are so many comments that I am speechless. A good story comes and goes in one direction and I am the judge.
I finally learned that a thousand readers have a thousand Hamlets. If I had only watched Mine Clearance, I would not have clicked in to read it. After reading it, when I watch Mine Clearance, I wonder if we are watching the same story.
I stayed up until 4 o'clock in the morning to read it. I actually didn't quite understand when Xingxing started to like Mi, but I also believe that Xingxing fell in love with Mi at the end of the story. I read the last two chapters several times. The first time I read it, I always felt that Xingxing's feelings were still lingering, and I felt that Mi was unfair. But after careful consideration the second time, I realized that this is human nature. After all, Xingxing is such a gentle and emotional person. How could he not care about the person he loved so passionately but had an unexpected and tragic ending? This time, I think Xingxing wants to see him and give that experience a happy ending. However, when I read between the lines for the third time, I had to sigh, it makes sense for Mi to be afraid of Lu. Xingxing will remember the most important time in his life throughout his life. Before the age of eighteen, Lin is the rising and fearless love, Lu is the climb to the peak and then suddenly descends, Mi is the matter of course. How many people will not remember the colorful time and people when they are about to climb to the top, stand on the top of the mountain, and leave the top of the mountain? So Xingxing lost his sense of proportion, "I just don't want you to think too much", "You are always suspicious" and "I didn't inform Mi before I left." When you were preparing to go to the most special time and person for you, at this moment, your inner emotions and expectations were so overwhelming that Mi could only lean against the corner and emit a dim light. People who have given and received a lot of love will know how to love, and there is also a kind of innocent cruelty. He will always have strong feelings for the people he has loved. This is his nature. At certain moments, these feelings will cause him to lose some ability to perceive the current relationship. This kind of feeling is different from that of friends, but who can say for sure whether it is love or not? I may not be able to tell clearly. But I believe that the stars belong to Amy in the end, and I wish you happiness in completing this journey down the mountain.
Why do you think it is a sin for Xingze and Lu to attend the wedding... He has always been a person who loves for a long time. From the beginning, he has made it clear that he hopes to give love and be loved in order to live up to the passionate and pure feelings of his youth. He has always hoped that the boys he has loved in this half of his life can be happy. If he wants to reunite with Lu's old love, I don't think Lu will agree, but he has fallen in love with Mi and made a promise. With his character and conduct, it is impossible to betray love. Mi is also very good, but his behavior and psychology put too much pressure on his lover. Fortunately, he met Chen Xingze, who always kept in mind his childhood love and every wish he had, and has not been changed by his adult years. I like all the boys and all the mothers in this article. They are all stripped of any dark side of human nature. They are very gentle, kind and mature people. It is very rare to meet one or two in reality. If I didn't know that this one has a prototype, I even think that people like Chen Xingze cannot be real at all.
. . . The more I watch it, the more uncomfortable it becomes, and I feel sorry for Mi Sheng. Maybe he is the one Chen loves the longest, but he is not the one he loves the most. The thought of this possibility is really a knot in my throat. I admire Mi for choosing to stay with Chen despite knowing this possibility.
Fortunately, I didn't miss this article because of demining. In fact, I have a lot to say and feel, but in the end I just want to wish Chen Xingze and Mi Sheng, and hope they can have a long and happy life. This story is worth reading. It can make me give up my so-called cuteness and be cured.
Watching it again two years later, I feel completely different from when I followed it. I am 24 years old and have a real sense of humor. I pulled down the timeline. Chen's main conflict before his junior year was that he didn't have time to watch the rape of his ex-boyfriend. After the main conflict has been determined, and Chen himself is indeed a saint, he can watch the rape and not observe Lu's living conditions. . . Men are indeed like this, they can never learn to settle down in a relationship. . . Not sure if there really is a prototype, but she looks like a stereotypical female in the whole process? Mi's life was too fussy, and maybe it was because his first love was so outrageous that he had nothing to miss. . . I'm still too rigid and can't imagine such a loving and righteous man. . .
Before I read it, all the words I saw were "abuse". In fact, I think it's okay. It's reality, or maybe it's because of the short story, so this "reality" even eliminates some obstacles. I have a relatively low tear point, but when I watched it, I didn't really want to cry. Sometimes I laughed happily, sometimes my heart was swollen and a little uncomfortable, and sometimes I felt lost. I felt empty in my heart. What was more realistic was the disgusting words You Xiaolin said to Chen Xingze. It was because Lu Hao later dated a girlfriend, but it also confirmed his words "I just like you". It was Mi Sheng's sadness and uneasiness. The quarrel and reconciliation between Lu Xingze and Mi Sheng was probably one of the times I cried. I can't explain the feeling, but it was very uncomfortable for a moment. Lu Xingze treats everyone I love Mi Sheng passionately, but in my heart I always feel that Mi Sheng lacks a grand, passionate and unwavering love. I believe that Lu Xingze can heal Mi Sheng, and I don't doubt Lu Xingze's love for Mi Sheng, but it is very uncomfortable. Privately, I really hope that Mi Sheng can have such love. It can be said that I hope that there will be someone who will love Mi Sheng without reservation (I read Wenhui I am more biased. This Mi Sheng book is very miserable, so I will be more biased.) Another point that I think is more realistic is the change of Lu Xingze from a boy to an adult in the last chapter. The subtle differences. Although he still seems to be the same "Chen Xingze", he has experienced society, has changed, and has become an adult. The part about getting along and giving a necklace is more obvious to me.
Chen Xingze is a lover, but he only said forever to Mi Sheng.
The time when Chen Xingze and Lu Hao were together was the happiest, right?
