Synopsis

- Basically, it's a laid-back story about keeping mermaids, with a relaxed, everyday feel and no angst throughout.

- Both protagonists are stunningly beautiful and incredibly strong.

- Nature is violence in its most beautiful form.

- Dry humor runs through the whole story.

- Also known as The Research and Translation Notes on the Mermaid Language Family by Mr. Egre, the Great Linguist.

PS: Mermaid seme × young lighthouse keeper, two strong leads, one-on-one, happy ending.

PPS: Surreal setting, science takes flight.

PPPS: The old man in the title is not a protagonist.

New novel: Hard to Win You Over! A gentle, scheming, impossibly beautiful, fiercely masculine beauty (what?) seme × a poor-but-handsome, incredibly strong, godlike uke who only loves the seme. Feel free to check it out in my author page~

Hello, I'm Here for a Bite of a Handsome Bottom

Handsome bottoms means handsome-looking bottoms. These are some less popular handsome-bottom stories with no more than ten thousand bookmarks. I only read mutually doting sweet stories. I avoid the bottom taking the top role and weak tops. I prefer bottoms with lean muscles over bulky builds.

Personal Reading List

Mostly top-led stories, with some bottom-led ones too. No harem stories with a universally adored top or bottom, and no anthology-style stories. This list is mainly about mutual pampering, slightly favoring the top or the bottom.

Highly Recommended Modern and Fantasy Boys' Love!

Not suited to any particular taste. Includes stories focused on both bottoms and tops. Mostly sweet romances, though some are lesser-known, so scroll down a bit.

Completed 1V1 Romance Reads

A mix of genres, including showbiz, esports, and transmigration. I'm pretty forgiving as long as the romance is written decently. My ratings are generous. All the couples are each other's first love. No angsty stories.
