Cute, Sweet Danmei
Mostly bottom-led sweet romances. These are based on my personal taste; the more stars, the better I think the story is.
Love Stories in Danmei on JJ
Good chemistry. Older/younger, equally matched, strong/weak, workplace, school, ABO, lighthearted, funny, serious, sexual tension... (Four stars only because there’s a limit to how many five-star ratings I can give.)
An 8-Year Jinjiang BL Reader’s Treasure Trove
Even shoe soles tossed with Wang Shouyi's Thirteen-Spice seasoning would taste great. The list mostly features: melodrama, rival enemies, wealthy families, modern urban settings, and futuristic fantasy.
Older Daddy Type Vs. Younger Puppy Type
Fatherly older man VS younger, flirty little guy. Which type do you prefer?
Bottom-Centric Content Warnings: Avoiding Duds
Shou-focused content warnings: includes unfaithful gongs, shous pursuing gongs, stand-ins, reader discretion advised, spotlight-stealing moments, friends-and-family squads, and explosive preview chapters. Nothing against the authors, unless they're GLM.
Great Reads
A list of completed danmei I enjoyed. Everything here is something I read before and still remember.
Older, Sweet, Protective Fatherly Male Leads
Adorable. A must-read if you love daddy types.
Mutual Devotion Is a Lie
Calling out some so-called mutually doting stories, especially those GK fans who need to stop pretending they’re CPJ. My alt account can’t give one- or two-star ratings because it’s restricted.
Second-Best
Not quite as good as my “Miracles” list, but still a great collection~
White Moonlight
Stories about the one who got away
Modern BL
A bit of everything
Not Necessarily Worth Rereading, Vol. 2
Mm
Modern BL
Three stars or fewer means I only read it once and thought the pacing was just okay, or that following it while it was still updating wasn’t a great experience. Four stars means I’ve reread it n times. Five stars means it’s a masterpiece! (List full
Lip Curtain - BL
BL recommendations, with a variety of POVs (both tops and bottoms), genres (quick transmigration, ancient, modern, contemporary, fantasy, futuristic, derivative works, and more), and formats (ongoing and completed
Shark-Stabbing Review
Maximum tension, steamy scenes that hit just right, a feast of near-the-edge content. Ten years of experience keeping quality in check. Mostly BL, with a little BG. I’ll add more bit by bit as I think of them.
Worth Rereading Again and Again
So, so good!!! Nothing else in this category hits the spot, but there's a limit on how many five-star ratings I can give. Why won't you let me give it five stars? Sob sob sob...
Angst and Bittersweet Romance, BL and BG
I love wild, carefree chaos and all kinds of melodrama. Stories I've reread countless times.
Modern BL (3)
Might include more than just contemporary danmei. There are too many to sort, and there may be some older, more niche tastes in here.
Daddy-Type Tops
So delicious.
Reread List
A list of interesting books I’d reread (in my opinion) (*>v<*)
I Really Love Older Tops Who Dote on Their Bottoms
Older love interests are the best! Sweet treats are the best!!! JJ keeps glitching all over the place, so sometimes the review doesn't match the book. Try refreshing ()
Sometimes You Just Want to Watch Someone Else Lose It While Sober
Recommendations for my niche interests (not five stars because I can only give four)
Modern BL
Good modern-day novels
Showbiz Stories: Idealism in the Real World
All sorts of showbiz stories I've read over the years, mostly BL, but also BG and Korean entertainment. I especially love stories about idealists achieving their dreams in the real world.

Can the author write another book of this type? I just read it night after night...
Boss, please give Anne your orders.
It would be great if there was a parallel time and space where Nan Nan and Mr. Gong were the same age and met when they were fifteen years old.
I read Haze first. I don't know why even reading such a sweet and sadistic article is still a bit brain-burning [melted] [melted] [melted]
Sure enough, any resistance by a weak person can only be regarded as coquettishness. It is possible for him to be together. The gap between the two people is too big.
I've finished reading. Nan Nan and Gong Cheng will be happy forever. I love you both.
I really don't like the second half, and it's not that I have to be, but I honestly think that the author really thinks what he wrote can convince readers? Of course you can, but the main reason is that the most important turning point is a mess, and there could be more about the transformation of the two people in the middle. Both of them changed too suddenly and too quickly, and time can heal everything. The hasty reconciliation and then the long-winded explanation make the happy ending of the story seem a bit fake. I remember that when I watched "Asteroid", it was because the emotional transitions in it were very delicate and reasonable, making readers feel that the reunion and love between two people were natural. It's true that there are flaws in this book, and it's all set for the sake of rating.
I watched it all night and cried for half the night
This is the first time I read an article with such a big age difference, and it feels pretty good
There's such a big age difference. It's the first time I've watched it, and the estrangement is so realistic.
