Switch Couples, Power Couples

What bothers me is either half of a mutually topping couple having been topped by someone else. I really can't handle that, at least not yet. It feels too intimate. I'll include content warnings.

Top-Led Mutual Pampering / Top-Focused / Versatile Couples Who Pamper Each Other

Saving this for my own tastes (every so often I get a sudden craving for something pretty out there)

A Perfect Match

BL, two equally strong leads.

A Devoted Fan of Mutual Top-Pairing

No need to say more about the authority on vers couples. It's everyone's responsibility not to force gay couples into stereotypical straight relationship roles.

Recommended Pure-Love Stories With Versatile Couples

Mutual-top fans are a crying minority. I personally prefer equally matched couples. There are actually a few I want to recommend that aren't on JJ (scratches head).

My Unfiltered Reading Thoughts

Reasons I dropped various stories (including ones I stuck with until they went premium), plus stories I bought in full but found disappointing, or bought in full but wouldn't recommend.

Finished Stories with Versatile Couples

Switches, completed, and all chapters purchased. Taking my time with these. My tastes are all over the place; I add each book after I finish it. I also include vers.

Great Danmei Stories

A chaotic mix of personal tastes! I'll read anything with good writing. I love digging up hidden gems, totally not kidding, and high-rated novels too~

Switching Is the Best

I'll gradually add stories with reciprocal top and bottom roles that I've finished. Switching roles is so good, guys... Just read them without overthinking...

Saved for Personal Use

Includes female-led stories, male-led stories, top-led stories, bottom-led stories, no-CP stories, and chaotic pairings. I adore angsty, dramatic, melodramatic romances.

Top/Versatile

Not GK or SK. I don’t insist on equal affection, but there must be reciprocated feelings, and they have to be madly in love. The pairing is 99% of the appeal.

The Picky Reader Is Here, Tremble…!

I can vouch for the plots and writing, but I'm a picky, eclectic reader who doesn't care about GK, SK, or CPJ. Characterization matters to me (at least one character has to win me over).

Old-School Picks for Readers in Their 30S (Mostly BL)

In my thirties, and my personal tastes come first. I like older styles and strong characters who can hold their own. Not a fan of showbiz, esports, school settings, childhood arcs, or everyone-favors-the-protagonist dynamics.

There's Something About Older Partners

Older top, master-disciple, older top, senior and junior fellow disciples, older and gentle tops, and even same-age characters with a strong older-top vibe. A roundup.

For Personal Use: My Years of Finding Land Mines on Xiao Lv

Lately I've been reading more fanfiction than original fiction. I tend to prefer feel-good stories and fluffy, brain-off reads, or stories focused on close platonic relationships. My preferences: platonic relationships > no romance > danmei = straight romance > yuri.

Best Friends Are True Love

Never tire of best friends of many years becoming lovers. I never tire of shipping the protagonist with the friend who understands him best and whom he relies on most. Includes no-CP and even crack pairings, so enter at your own risk if that's not your thing.

Mutual Top Notes

Some switch couples I like

My Faves, I Read Everything

Mutual affection, both taking the lead, or mutual affection with one partner more dominant. I like beautiful, assertive tops and swoon-worthy bottoms. Few deal-breakers. I like tops who get pushed around, but no hard-core pounding machines, please.
