Ancient Fantasy Male/Male Romance
Books I finished and rated four or five stars.
Top-Centric Romance
I’m more of a top fan, and this is a little record for myself. Looking back over six years, there haven’t been many great reads. No weak or weepy tops, no overly animalistic portrayals of tops, and no episodic stories.
Top Recommendations for Seme-Protagonist Stories
Su-style tops and fans of dominant, take-charge tops. I love the chase-your-husband-to-the-crematorium trope. I lean slightly toward tops, but I'm not too picky.
Sweet Stories with a Top
Sweet and fluffy. I only like couples who are each other's first love and have only ever been with each other.
Devoted Puppy-Dog Bottoms
Not necessarily top-led, but there may be a slight preference for tops, so bottom stans beware. The list includes bottoms pampering tops and tops pampering bottoms, but they’re all excellent books. I’ll keep updating it.
Personal Book List: Protagonists Who Top
Saving all the fully purchased novels I've read with an attack-side protagonist. I'm not fixated on either role, and I don't try to be impartial: one book might lean toward the attack side, the next toward the receiving side. As long as the CP is fun to ship, I'll read it. Just don't let my tastes jumpscare you.
Top-Centric 1V1 Stories
I'm usually on the top's side, but there's not much to choose from. I don't give one or two stars; three stars means I really don't recommend it. Four stars means it was okay, but I wouldn't reread it. Five stars means it totally hits my preferences!
Books I've Finished
When will the collection limit go up?
Top-Led Stories: Strong Tops
I only read strong, swoon-worthy tops, and insist on mutual feelings. Strongly opposed to weak-in-bed, bland, or doormat tops. The ones marked 1 still need descriptions.
Subscriptions
My record... When did I delete it...? Making a new one.
Top-POV Stories with Spoiled Tops and Mutual Devotion (Purely Subjective Reviews)
Mutual pampering, with a loyal puppy bottom and a dom top as my preferences. My recommendations are influenced by my tastes: most are relationship-focused with mutual feelings, though some pairings don't feature a loyal puppy or a dom.
Recommended Top-Perspective Stories (Completed)
Finished, fully purchased, reread multiple times, and focused on the gong. My tastes: muscular or strong shou, power couples, beautiful but strong characters. I prefer mutual devotion, status differences, non-human characters, romance between able-bodied characters, and hurt/comfort. Updated irregularly.
Poems That Laugh and Soar Over Cangzhou
Books with an assertive male lead! Any genre is fine, but most are historical BL. Expect a mix of elements like insect races, space travel, and ABO. I’ll curate the list once it’s full!
Reading Log
I like reading about pampered, self-indulgent shou and spoiled gong, with the gong showering the shou with affection and the shou doting on the gong nonstop. The couple must be 100% mutually devoted! I hate love-triangle stories where readers have to pick a ship!
For My Own Reference
Lots of varied kinks. Stories with both top and bottom male leads, all books I personally enjoy. There'll be fanfiction too. I haven't bought the complete editions of some, but I'll get around to it when I have time, orz. Continuously updated.
My Favorite Top-Protagonist Stories
Lighthearted, happy little sweet stories with happy endings
Reading Log: Top-Centric Stories
When reading stories from the top's perspective, I like couples who dote on each other equally or where the top dotes on the bottom more. I rarely read stories where either character cross-dresses, is frail, or is universally adored.
I'll Be Back Again
Review the old and learn the new.
The Pomegranate Tree's Branches Grow Lush
Historical danmei, pregnancy stories, sweet little romances. Great for some light entertainment. See my other lists for my rating standards. Some of these pregnancy stories are genuinely well-written.
For Personal Use, Mostly Top-Dom Stories
My preferences are strong, handsome, or cute tops. I like dog-like bottoms, pampered tops, and tops adored by everyone. The top's characterization matters most! I'm a little wary of weak bedroom skills, and really can't stand them. There are both rants and recommendations.
Eclectic Reader's Personal Favorites
For my own use. BG, BL, and no-CP are all welcome. I'll add more as I finish them. They're all stories I found well-written or suited to my tastes.
Top-Tier Seme Favorites: All from the Seme's POV!!
For updates, check out my other list. This one is full. A list guaranteed to delight top enthusiasts: top-centric stories with adored, powerful tops, equally matched couples, and plenty of feel-good moments!
Top-Focused, Quick Transmigration, Mpreg, Handsome Top
Bottom gets pregnant | beautiful top, strong bottom | weak top, strong bottom | top calls the shots | original top gets won over | carnivore (smut) enthusiast | dominant in bed | mark separately if unsure about virginity | happy ending
Delicious Reads with a Male Lead
This list is mostly about recommending great smut, with plot and characters taking a back seat. Read these sooner rather than later, or they might get locked away.

Haha, where did Gouzi literature come from?
I swiped it twice without knowing it, haha, I asked why the V Chapter will not deduct money haha
I really like the two protagonists in this article. They are so cute. Hehe, Gouzi literature invades Jinjiang.
I have a strong servility and a sense of powerlessness, but my heart is yellow [Panda Head][Panda Head]
Hey, I really like this article [touch my head]
The author is great. I read another one of those heartfelt extras and it felt so suitable for Nineteen! ! Please arrange a [star eye][star eye][star eye][star eye] for Nineteen
