Dear Mr. Golden Ball

A Serial DNFer's Finished-Reading Log

I often drop novels halfway through when I suddenly lose interest. My dealbreakers aren’t clear; I’m a bit of a picky omnivore, but most of these are pure-love stories with a bottom-focused pairing. I’m trying to keep track; quality may vary.

Light and Sweet BL

Simple, relaxing, and happy reads

Eclectic Rereads: Obscure and Popular Picks

I read all sorts of things. This is just my personal opinion, for reference only.

Western Fantasy | Alternate Worlds | Western Settings

I’m not picky at all. I’ll read any pairing or POV, and if something catches my interest, I’ll try it even if the comments clearly warn that it’s a disaster. But I’m very stingy with ratings.

Entertainment Industry Stories

A few entertainment-industry novels that suit my taste, with fewer melodramatic tropes like everyone being obsessed with the protagonist or a scumbag getting his comeuppance

BL: Powerful Leads Falling for Each Other

Two equally matched leads, with both of them wholeheartedly moving toward each other.

Underrated Themes

Good Stories With Unique Qualities

Any genre, as long as it's good

Some Soccer

Interesting soccer novels, including ongoing series, completed stories, and abandoned ones.

Modern BL Sweet Treats

As the title says

My All-Time Favorites

Completed stories I’ve been able to reread again and again since 2020. I’ll add reasons for recommending them little by little.

Completed: 8
