My incomplete reading log for 2026. Every one of these hit me right where it hurts (not really). There’s a bit of everything, and they’re all worth revisiting. Just my personal taste.
Childhood Sweethearts Only Have Each Other
No one can come between childhood sweethearts
Childhood Friends, Sweet Romance, and Urban Fiction
I love childhood friends, rivals-to-lovers, brother-sister pairings, and mature men and women in urban settings. I have a soft spot for fluffy romances.
Some Great Books I Bought the Full Version Of
Historical romance and court intrigue, xianxia cultivation, equally matched leads, wuxia jianghu, Western fantasy, ensemble casts, empresses, female officials, empowering stories about strong women, female-led stories, modern romance, and fantasy romance
BG Books Worth Rereading Several Times
I love good writing, though my preferences are extremely subjective (highlighted). Mostly sweet romances with lots of relationship development. Clingy, lovey-dovey love is the best. Romance from the female lead's perspective. Reviews coming soon~
Webnovel Veteran’s Divine BG Book List 4
Cling, kiss, sing, and praise love like poetry?
Older Woman/Younger Man Romance Collection
For my own use, and I'll keep updating it. My favorite trope is childhood friends with an older-sister/younger-brother romance, so there'll be more of that here. (Well, I do love the trope, but there aren't many stories like that, so not that many.)
BG Stories I'd Read Again
Transmigrate into a book, win over the villainous second male lead, gloomy and tsundere men, a groveling redemption arc, Western fantasy, Western romance, enemies, tyrants, sunny heroines, young love, mature romance
Into Brooding, Possessive Men and Faux-Incest Romance? Come On In!
I'm a fan of pseudo-incest, so here are some books in that genre I've read on Jinjiang. My reviews may be heavily influenced by personal preferences, so take them with a grain of salt.
For Pure BG Fans: Enjoy, You're Guaranteed to Be Satisfied
Master and disciple, pseudo-incest, aloof beauties, gloomy men, forbidden romance, boys and girls, school life, dog training, says one thing but means another, Pride and Prejudice, underlings rising above their superiors, cute stories, faked deaths
Angsty Stories
A bittersweet taste
Romance Novels
Collection: historical romance, school, and urban
BG Bedtime Shorts (Including No Romance)
Choose according to your own tastes. I'm an omnivore, so be sure to distinguish between mass-produced sugary fluff and boring stories. Don't force yourself to read anything, and respect everyone else's preferences. Thanks.
City Guide ①
Romance-focused modern urban novels I've read
Romance Stories
My romance rule: I like angst, but not too much; I like sweetness, but not too much. I want that push and pull.
If I Bought the Whole Book, It Must Have Something Going for It
A list leaning toward romance, for fans of the female lead. Fantasy and contemporary romance. I like clear career arcs or comedy. No stories where the female lead is abused, and no soft, foolish, naive heroines.
BG Romance I Like
The ones I like best! I often buy the physical books halfway through reading, so I haven’t finished subscribing to some of these (O_O).
BG Novels Worth Rereading (Updated Irregularly)
My personal tastes. I don't think these have any major dealbreakers, and the writing is smooth and comfortable to read. I like stories where the male lead loves the female lead more, or couples with a fun contrast that makes them irresistible!
Love and Hate, Push and Pull
Who will win this battle of love in the end?
If You Haven't Read This Book, You've Wasted Your Life
I just really love these.
Decent BG Reads for Mainstream Tastes
Mostly campus and urban settings. All the female leads have agency, but their personalities vary widely. Some are quite gentle, while most are very independent. The male leads are devoted to their wives, and their little guys are kept under lock and key.
Top-Tier Reads
Keeping track of novels that left a strong impression on me ^-^
There Are Always Good Reads

Stories that crossed your path over the years. Hope to meet you again among these cozy winter reads.

My favorite article so far this year. The scene in the villa at the beginning gave me a strong sense of déjà vu from Summer, like a very refreshing lemonade. Tsundere versus Tsundere is a cute aspect that I hate, including Amy, who is very similar to Susanna, gentle, cheerful, rich, and tolerant of everything. So in fact, I have been vaguely worried about whether something will happen to Amy, but fortunately it's not that bloody. Of course, when I say that Meixia has a sense of déjà vu, I am not accusing plagiarism, but the refreshing and bright atmosphere of summer limited edition is very similar to it, and it touches me very much. The middle part is a bit like "Seattle", which is also a movie I like very much. In my opinion, Lu Jialuo is like Wen Jiajia, tough and vital, even the same arrogant, but he quickly realizes his own problems, and a little cunning is also my cute point. I especially like the part where Jia Luo goes to Japan to find Edwin. I keep replaying in my mind the scene of Wen Jiajia wearing a floral skirt and saying "surprise!" At the hero's door on Christmas Eve. Dare to do, dare to act, dare to love and dare to hate is the foundation of Jialuo's character. Of course, I like this article not just because the atmosphere is like the drama I like, but more because of Kojima's writing style. I pay great attention to the atmosphere when reading articles, because I like to imagine scenes, and Kojima's description is very graphic, which makes it easy for me to relate to it. It really feels like I am immersed in watching a happy chick movie. It makes me feel so lucky to read such a warm and enthusiastic book in such a cold winter. I hope Xiaodao can open a new page and continue writing what I love to read and what you love to write!
Oh my gosh, this article feels like an American TV series! ! ! Like a special summer movie, summer lemon sparkling water, cicadas singing in the shade, azure swimming pools, single-family villas, young boys and girls in love... I really like summer after watching it! ! ! I really like this kind of writing style. It's so special and relaxing. I think I will think of this article every summer, and think of my dear Lu Jialuo and Ed Wen. 2025.12.4
The article was short and I ordered it all at once, and it took me several times to finish it. . . The whole article is torn between good-looking and ugly [helpless][helpless] The good-looking one is that the interaction between the male and female protagonists is well described and exciting, but the ugly part is that the sentences are often worded incorrectly or the subject reference is not clear, and he/she appears suddenly, especially when reading on a mobile phone. The small screen looks more obscure, which makes it very irritating. In addition, the plot is a bit boring, with two men and two women on the background. The male protagonist of this book is also very flat, and there is not much writing. After reading it, I feel that I am not familiar with him. Although he does some things for the female protagonist in the setting, it feels like the female protagonist takes the initiative to stick to it. I feel that the author's articles deify the male protagonist a bit. The same goes for the book "Xue Xue". The heroine is always on the side of the hero throughout the whole process, and there is no plot of chasing his wife in the crematorium until the finale. I don't like the love concept very much. . However, the character setting is still very unique. There are no routines. The description of ambiguous interactions is very good. Generally speaking, it can be read.
Summer is all about seeing the aquarium... We Jialuo and Edwin must always be together^
I read it every summer. This summer is too hot and boring. Please write another one next year. I will do anything.
I never thought I would be able to eat such delicate and delicious food this year, but when I saw it, it was 2017? So awesome, a master among masters.
This book is really beautifully written. When will the author come back [crying]
Beautiful, so relaxing! Looking forward to the author's return
? It's time to review the isolation time again
I can only accompany the young couple here. In fact, it's a little regretful that I didn't get to see life after marriage, but I'm very satisfied that it ended here [crying] The young couple must be happy [crying]
