Abandoned or Slow-Updated, but Truly Excellent
Please update!
Great Stories with Plot Focus
Plot-focused. A 4 means it’s excellent; a 5 depends on fate.
A Harem of Admirers, No Fixed Couple, and a Jealousy-Fueled Catfight
When reading these, just let your brain switch off. Don't worry about feminism, men's rights, attack helicopter rights, or anything like that. I try to flag potential dealbreakers where I can. I'll mention if the ending has a couple.
Brilliant Derivative Works
A fanfiction list that's regularly updated and full of obscure, free gems! HP / The Thief, the Dragon / Comprehensive Martial Arts / Marvel / Conan / Haikyuu!! / Jujutsu Kaisen, etc.
Some Free Reads~
Organizing the free books on my shelf. My tastes are all over the place: danmei, romance, original fiction, Marvel, soccer, wuxia, Naruto... There are some in the comments too.
Some Free Stories That Looked Good
I had to delete a lot of books by the same authors to make room. The System won’t let me give some books five stars, and I’m still figuring out which ones. I’ll find a way to fix the ratings later.
Romance Novels With Genuine Beauties as the Female Lead
Stories with heroines who have the air of great beauties. I can only guarantee that the authors write well and that the heroines really are beautiful. I'm not into loud, pretty-but-dumb little beauties.
A Little Gender-Bending
I support every protagonist and read every pairing and orientation.
A Series to Read Before You Die
A collection of unfinished but delicious reads I've picked up on and off over the years. One serving, then nothing more. Anything goes: BG, BL, gender-bending, and all kinds of themes.
Books to Read in This Lifetime
A magnificent rabbit hole.
The When-Will-They-Fill-This-Plot-Hole Series
My collection is full, so I'm clearing out my bookshelf. (Adding some novels that recently earned referral rewards.)
BG Stories of All Kinds
Fanfiction from xianxia, wuxia, Western fantasy, APH, Jujutsu Kaisen, Detective Conan, Lord of the Mysteries, Demon Slayer, Hunter x Hunter, Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, and more. Also quick transmigration, harem, otome, and so on. Some couldn't get five stars because of Jinjiang's restrictions.
Personal List: BG
Books I was able to finish that are at least decent quality, mostly romance.
Favorites!
Mostly fanfiction, each with its own distinctive style
Original Fiction
A list of original novels. I've submitted too many five-star ratings, so the site won't let me submit any more; that's why everything here has four stars. It doesn't change how good these books are in my eyes.
Tossing Out a Jade to Attract More Jade, Recommendations with High Overlap Welcome
Includes both BL and straight romance, with lots of no-CP stories where everyone has a crush on the protagonist, some stories with a one-on-one pairing for part of the story, and lots of spin-offs. Looking for recommendations with similar tastes.
Original BG, List Updated July 11
Mostly open endings, love interests you can root for, and branching routes. Some are one-on-one from the start. Also, I recommend Sang Jiajing from Xiaoxiang Academy. Nine out of ten of her stories feature a harem of all pairings.
Stories I've Read That Left a Lasting Impression
Not into danmei. These are all stories I've read that left a strong impression on me: otome, Mary Sue, dark and angsty, sweet and heartbreaking, delusion-driven... There really aren't many books I can stick with to the end.
Stories I Like: Harem Protagonists, Otome, and Female-Top Dynamics
Mostly about my personal tastes
What Are We Talking About When We Talk About Mary Sue?
A slowly growing list of some high-quality wish-fulfillment novels I've read, including but not limited to love triangles, male competition, unaware harems, ambiguous relationships, one-sided love, etc.
Just Keeping Track
I've been reading for over a decade, and everything here gets my seal of approval.
Time to Show Off My Taste
Sharing some good reads. I like all sorts of things and don't tag for deal-breakers. I'll also include some that aren't as good but have their highlights (this is just my personal taste).
My Favorite Heroines
Female leads I love. They don't have to be beautiful or clever, and they don't even have to be good people, but they're all vivid and full of life.
Free Stories I Absolutely Love
I want to share some stories that I personally found absolutely delicious after giving them a try (I'll add more later).

My only pet peeve on the Internet is that if I get old and die, I will ask someone to burn the finale to me. If it can be completed...
Reading novels is like finding a boyfriend. Reading a novel is even more painful, but reading 365 novels is like reading [Cat Head] every day.
You have been writing for nine years, and next year will be the tenth year of Five Elements Short of Chicken. As long as you are willing to write, I am willing to wait for thirty years.
Tang, have you decided not to write after thinking about it for a long time? Your writing style is very special in Jinjiang. I hope it can give you some motivation. Someone is supporting you. It takes fifty years to sharpen a sword.
It's good to rewatch [Cat Head] every year when I lose my memory.
Updated every year, but I read [Lie Down] once every year, Su's work is so spot on
Can I wait until the end in my lifetime? [Biting handkerchief] I really like it so much
I came across a recommendation last night, and I couldn't help but tie it in one breath. It's well written, and the writing style is good. All the characters are very vivid. It's different from the fairy tales I've read in the past. The protagonist is also very charming and hateful. Please be sure to finish it. Ai Xin, etc.
I couldn't help but relive it again. Madam, I miss you.
It's a great surprise to see your update
