Some Angsty Boys’ Love Stories About Rekindled Romance

Basically, it’s all melodrama. A little angst is fun, but the more devastating, the better.

First Love

Years later, I’ll still remember how much I loved it. Full subscription, five stars. It has all kinds of styles, and everything about it is simply because I love it.

An 8-Year Jinjiang BL Reader’s Treasure Trove

Even shoe soles tossed with Wang Shouyi's Thirteen-Spice seasoning would taste great. The list mostly features: melodrama, rival enemies, wealthy families, modern urban settings, and futuristic fantasy.

A Bite-Sized Short Story~

BL, romance, and yuri (just one), all under 200,000 characters (some may be longer; I just really want to recommend them). Some have tragic endings (whoops).

Second-Chance Romance

BL, BG, and maybe GL in the future, not sure. Originals and derivative works, a real mix of everything. Just marking stories I've read that feature the getting-back-together trope after a breakup.

Personal BL Reading List

My tastes: nonhumans, enemies, equally matched couples, mutual devotion, and forced melodrama. I love seductive, earnest, and snarky bottoms, and controlling, dark, and tsundere tops. I generally prefer devoted couples, but some stories have infidelity or switch roles.

Read Whatever Page the Wind Turns To

[1] I only read one-on-one romances. I lean toward traditional pairings and like couples who are both strong and devoted to each other, especially when the top dotes on the bottom. I love sweet, satisfying stories, whether the protagonist is the top or the bottom. Anything extreme is an instant nope!
