Hunting for Treasures in Old-School Novels (But Not That Old)
Danmei, romance, and yuri stories from 2017 or earlier (including 2017). The classics never go out of style, even if 2017 doesn't feel that long ago. It's been nine years, though.
Showing Support for Bottom-Leaning Stories / Productive Fangirls [Archive]
I don’t know how to spend my Jinjiang coins, so I’m buying some nutrient solutions. I might not have read these books.
Nonhumans Are Great, Nonhumans Are Wonderful
Absolutely top-tier! At least one of the leads isn’t human. Lots of equally matched couples and unconventional romances.
If I Finished It, It Must Be Good!
I fully subscribe to almost everything here. I often abandon stories halfway through, so finishing these is no small feat. Most of them should really get five stars, but that's no longer allowed.
Highly Recommended Fantasy Stories!
I'll happily read anything. A lighthearted, romantic life-as-a-game, virtual life, magical worlds, glorious legends...

It's Western fantasy
Good Eats
I've personally tried every one of these. This is my shocking-delicious series. The SKs are readable, but that's just my personal opinion and has nothing to do with the authors' identities (this is important).
Just My Personal Taste
I get bored easily, so books I can finish from beginning to end are probably just my kind of writing and pacing. I generally avoid angst, though I know that means I'll miss out on some good books.
I'd Call These Masterpieces
Really, really good. The writing is so delicate.
Western Fantasy
Knights and swords, arcane arts and magic, steampunk
The Years I Went Treasure-Hunting on Lǜjiāng (Mostly Obscure Reads)
A reading and ranting log by a picky but eclectic bookworm. I read both top-led and bottom-led stories. I prefer lighthearted reads that aren't dumbed down or mindless. Check out my other list for highly recommended serious stories!
Fully Read
Stories I like that focus on plot, with the plot taking up at least as much space as the romance.
First-Read Impressions
First-read thoughts, very few spoilers. I write as I read. The pairings and quality vary, all just my personal opinions (hands together).
Re-Reads
Books I keep coming back to. They're all pretty good, carefully selected.
A Slightly More Niche BL Reading List
These are either books I think fewer people read, or older stories that used to be popular but don't get as much attention now. Mostly classics from back in the day.
Also Great!
Ones I might reread
Western Fantasy Worlds
Highly recommend for fans of Western fantasy!
Someone Else's Feast
It’s like visiting someone else’s home: the food is delicious, but you can’t go all the time. Same goes for these novels: they’re all quite good, but once I’ve finished, I’m satisfied and don’t feel like rereading them.
Western Fantasy Reading Notes
Western fantasy
[BL] Product Sis's Reading Log (Uncensored Edition
[Ongoing] Some have switches, some have a top who bottoms, and some have a bottom who tops. No guarantee everything is perfectly balanced. There may be mutual pampering with a top-leaning or bottom-leaning dynamic.
Pure-BL Western Fantasy Novels, All Worth a Read
Pure love, with a few stories that have no CP

A few Western fantasy stories, both traditional and unconventional. I've also added some that are loosely related.
Recommended Reads
Carefully selected favorites, though they're a mixed bag.
The Legendary Stories I Followed Back in the Day (100-Story Edition)
Here are some stories I love! Some have flaws, but I still enjoyed them. Highly recommended! (My five-star ratings got restricted: five stars means a god-tier must-read, while four stars means there are minor flaws.)

I don't know why I have a strange impression, because it's my second refresh, so I've always been vaguely convinced that Gal is not the demon king who was killed at the beginning, but I didn't find any direct evidence of this when I replayed it this time. Is my memory confused or have I seen the uncut version before? And the explanation I vaguely recall is very logical, that is, Gal and the Demon King have a similar twin relationship, just like the Pope's prophecy that they will fight each other, but Gal has always been the kinder and simpler one, so he cannot defeat the dominant Demon King, so Gal is always alone in the dark, so he becomes a talkative [dog-head]. Moreover, if that is said, it is logical that Gal has the memory of the Demon King but does not have the hatred of the Demon King. What's more important is that it was Borg's call that made Gal wake up, because the former Demon King did die when his heart was pierced, but Gal's awakening is equivalent to him winning the battle, so it's okay for him to be the Demon King [Hands together] Oh my God, where did I read this explanation? I couldn't have made it up myself [covering my face and laughing]

When I saw the child, I personally felt that Borg didn't want the child except to possess it because he didn't actually have his parents with him since he was a child. He didn't know how to be a real father.
Take a good, good, good look at it [Come on] [Cat's Claw]

This Western fantasy book from 97 is great! [Let me be healthy][Glasses]
Let us Borg and the Demon King continue to be happy! !
Ending: Sahua [Sahua] I really like this story [poor]
