BL Novel Reading Log
CPJ prefers the bottom. No bashing the other half of the ship, no opposing ships, and no yumejoshi content. Any genre is fine, but I can't handle male pregnancy.
Saved Danmei Recommendations (Mostly Bottoms)
Purely personal recommendations, all over the place and with a preference for bottoms. I adore cool, handsome, strong bottoms, but I love cute, beautiful bottoms too. I like possessive, gloomy tops who dote on their bottoms. I hate top stans.
BL School Stories Worth Rereading
For my own rereading. I enjoy chaotic, anything-goes stories and have few dealbreakers. Those who require first love purity or have strong preferences should avoid this list.
Books I Bought in Full
I love elopement stories where the woman takes the child, and men dressing as women, sorry. If I can finish it, it's probably pretty good
CPJ Hosts the Top-Bottom Shippers' Wedding
SK*GK: no switching or reversing roles, and strict equal treatment.
Underrated but Great
A rather subjective list of recommendations, mostly lesser-known stories. I personally prefer older love interests, melodrama, well-balanced plots and romance, smooth prose, and originality. I don’t self-insert, I just read.
Older Love Interests
Older top, younger bottom; devoted, faithful couples who dote on each other. I like it when the gong spoils a sweet, well-behaved shou. No side pairings or one-sided crushes from supporting characters, please. I like stories focused on the couple and sunny, healthy relationships.
Five-Star Romance
I’ll reread the romance plots. The top and bottom’s feelings develop both ways, with their love going in both directions.
To Be Read
Ones I’d actually read.
Favorites
Mostly bottom-focused, but there are other types too. No tragic endings.
Recommended by Experts

CPJ Reads, Currently Obsessed with Top and Bottom-Centric Stories
These are just my personal opinions, and I can't guarantee everyone will like them. I take no responsibility for any of the books I recommend.
A Reading List for a Strange Taste (?)
Stories I might reread. Mostly BL, with a few BG and no-romance stories. I'm probably a protagonist enthusiast. I don't read bad endings, and I prefer lighthearted, silly, sweet stories, though some may get pretty dark
Modern Pure Love II
Two (ongoing updates; the modern danmei section is complete, so feel free to bookmark it)
Delicious Modern Romance, Please Dig In
If I cannot even find a few historical BL novels, how am I supposed to find modern BL novels? This list only collects modern BL novels that I personally consider warm or niche favorites. At heart, it is still for my own use.
My Personal Collection
For my own collection.
A Few Sweet Treats
Boys’ love is taking over the world!! I’ll always love TTMMXQL!!
Cute Stories Between Balanced Relationships and Bottom-Only Pairings
Cute stories where the top priority is a sweet, lovey-dovey couple, with the balance generally even or just slightly tilted toward the shou ^_^ Only includes books I've fully purchased, with mutually exclusive romantic histories, and under 100,000 in collection count.
For Personal Use: Submissive-Lean Stories, Part 2
I like stories with more submissive male leads. These recommendations are just my personal thoughts.
Sweet Little Stories!
Sweet, sweet, sweet.
Sweet Campus Romance
As someone who loves 1v1 romances, these are all campus novels I really enjoy! Some have a male top, others a male bottom. Reviews are slowly being added.
My Four- and Five-Star Favorites
BL, to my personal taste.

The two of us are really good. The cold war is actually very emotional. But every time they have an quarrel, it's a cold war. But it's not a complete cold war. They should care about each other and do things. It means that both parties know that they have some problems that need to be solved. Wait until the right time to solve them. In my eyes, it actually minimizes the consumption of feelings. If you don't cherish each other enough, you won't get along like this from the beginning.
Butcher's Knife, I'm very sad. I've been waiting for you for two or three years when you said goodbye. TT
Just swipe to leave a mark, I haven't seen enough 😭 I want more
Do you have a chance to see new articles? I miss you so much 😭
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah super nice unpopular article 🙏 🙏 🙏
Yeah, if I hadn't been patient enough, I really don't know how many times you would have to say goodbye (I'm so sorry to leave after reading this, author, can you write another article out of the blue (make a wish))
Refresh! It's really smooth. I can't tell you that it was interrupted for so long. I miss you so much. I really want to read the author's new articles.
Very, very, very beautiful 😭 [blue heart]
Finished spreading flowers! It's the second time I've read it, but I still like it very much. I'm looking forward to the teacher's new post 😚
