These are books I added to my list before finishing them because, based on what I read, the rest should be good too, unless the author went off the rails. I just got too lazy to keep reading.
My Personal DNF List
Just for myself. These are all my highly subjective deal-breakers, and some of them are pretty weird. Not aimed at anyone.
Books I’ve Checked Out
I read all sorts, depending on who fits my preferences. The most basic requirement is good writing.
Books I Like
I generally prefer comedies, especially with an adorable, aloof, universally adored bottom and a gloomy, older top. I'm a sucker for love triangles and guys competing for the same man.
Top-Leaning, Versatile, Left-Side Pairings
I can handle a little angst and a little melodrama, but not stories where the shou takes charge and the gong is passive, or where the gong gets toyed with. I don't think that's a sign of loving the gong more.

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.
Absolutely Brilliant Reads
Brilliant ideas or brilliant plots (personal subjective preference). This is my personal list, and the descriptions are pretty casual. If you found it, this list and you were meant to be =w=
Protagonists Whose Names I Still Remember
Maybe I've read too many books, because all the protagonists seem to look alike. Here's a list of the ones I can still remember. I'm leaving out other good stories whose protagonists feel too similar.
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.
SK/SFW-Specific Content Warning List
JJ’s author-blocking feature isn’t enough anymore, and PL is getting deleted too. Saving this here. I’m so disgusted. The blocked authors are in the comments.
Finished It and Now I Hate Myself
Those who do not understand pain cannot understand true peace... I mean, this is so hard to read.
Spoiler and Trigger Warning Collection
This isn't about judging the author's skill, but about avoiding stories based on the author's values and their general quality. First, a warning for common dealbreakers. The star ratings are meaningless.
My Personal DNF List
A list of novels I personally dislike, for cautionary purposes. This is for my own use! My own use! My own use!
Beautiful Prose
Focused on the writing, with purely subjective taste. Excellent prose, vivid characters, and a literary flair. I have no particular preferences and will read anything.
Just Give Me This Dog-Blood Historical BL Goodness
Old-school melodramatic angst never goes out of style.
Ongoing Updates
Novels I personally enjoyed, across all kinds of genres
Great Reads
All fully purchased or practically fully purchased. I don't like modern settings. Feel free to leave recommendations for similar good stories! Five stars means an absolute favorite; four stars means top-tier. (Marked as a gem = five stars.)
Personal Taste: Pure Love
Overbearing patriarchs, size differences, disability, finding a partner, frail protagonists, and pregnancy. (Warning: I don’t mind whether the protagonist is a top or bottom. Everything listed except the last two describes their partner.)
Great Reads
Love reading these.
A Frazzled Reviewer’s Rambling Minefield Guide to Ancient Fantasy
Contains some very nitpicky ranting. A record of historical and cultivation novels I stopped following for various reasons. Some are warnings, but these are just my personal opinions (this is my alt account).
Danmei I've Read, Part Two
Adding more to the list.
Danmei: Xuanhuan, Fantasy, and Xianxia

My Miscellaneous Favorites
Some with interesting characters or plots, some satisfying wish-fulfillment stories, and some with pairings that are incredibly fun to ship.

The ending is not good enough but not as bad as some brainwashers say. . . He was forced to withdraw from the circle. Nowadays, so many articles that are like stone are still read by people, no matter how shameless the author is, they are still writing. It is really a pity for the paper. I feel like it can be expanded on later. Maybe the fight was too loud and the ending was too rushed. . And I don't know where the article about my brother's soul mate is a pirated version, or how much I hate this article. I can't find this type of article now. TT, and the attack and shou are obviously locked all the time, okay? I'm really convinced, and it's a bit brainwashed.
The author is really smart, and the brainwashing package is really exaggerated. As expected, you still have to see it for yourself. But as said in the comment area, reading the text is a very subjective matter. Of course, the author did not handle it well, and the person who spread the brainwashing package is too hateful. . . .
I finally finished reading it. I was almost told to quit by the comment section. Fortunately, I persisted and finished it. I felt that it was not at all like what was written in the comment section. It was a bit inexplicable. Some people have always struggled with the senior brother issue. I can clearly feel that Gong has nothing but brotherhood for his senior brother. There is a conflict between his lover and his family. He is not in a dilemma. It is naturally the best to be able to have both. And Gong is very decisive and chooses to side with Shou... If I remember correctly, the author has actually laid the groundwork many times before. Shou has always asked Gong what he and his senior brother Gong would choose. Gong has never hesitated to choose Shou. Isn't this enough to explain love... It is a love machine that cuts off all other emotions and leaves only love. Facing the senior brother who grew up with him and protected him, Gong still decisively chooses to side with Shou, which is obviously better... As for the close and distant couple, there is no need to keep referring to this word. The word "close and distant" is written from Shou's perspective. Senior brother is like family to Gong. Shou wanted to kill Gong's family. He felt that his behavior would cause a gap between him and Gong, so he came up with what he considered a "close and distant couple". But didn't Gong prove it with his actions? If Gong hadn't gone to find him, he might have finally become a "close couple" as Shou thought, and then Shou would live his own life freely. However, Gong's actions proved that he couldn't live without Shou, and his feelings for Shou were not affected by killing his senior brother. Even if he changed his identity incognito, he would follow Shou. I really feel that Gong is super in love... Have you read the article carefully... If you like industrial saccharin, there are a lot of them on the list, so you don't need to waste money to read it. The comments he posted are still disgusting.
I read the comments before reading the book. I am guilty. I deserve to die. Now that I have finished reading, I regret that I was really disgusted by those who said that my brothers are soul mates. I can't figure out what the people who say these things are, but this article is based on facts. There is a slight flaw in Gong's expression of feelings and the relationship between Gong and Shou. Gong himself doesn't quite understand these things and is still learning about them later. In short, the relationship between Gong and Shou is not as lively as an assembly line. This is a problem written by the author. Senior brothers are not some bullshit soul mates.
It's a pity that I come back to read it occasionally... Everyone has different interpretations of what the author wants to express. I don't understand why everyone is saying that the relationship between senior brothers has deteriorated. I really don't see it. And this has not risen to the level of being attacked by netizens at all. It is really a pity that an author with writing skills and space has withdrawn from the circle like this. I still want to wait for the second part of "Jian Jiangshan"
JJ only allows receiving to have white moonlight. If there is a personal weight in the heart that is greater than receiving, this is not a problem with the work, but a question of whether the author wants to withdraw from the circle.
There are too many brainwashing packets in this book, and many people are sending out brainwashing packets indiscriminately just because the author has withdrawn from the industry. Fans of the book are afraid to speak outside. People who have read the full article are more normal. ? Where did you come from in the comment area? Just subscribe for a little bit and say that you have read the entire article to comment. Are you so confident in your comments after seeing the pirated article?
Well written, I feel the demining is a bit too biased orz
It's surprising that someone can describe the love between Xueli and Jixiao as a "little fight". It is true that they got together without going through any hardships, but can you really not see Jixiao's heavy affection for Xueli and Xueli's sincere love for Jixiao? Jixiao didn't understand Xueli's question and wanted to guess what Xueli meant all night long. The Sword Cultivator who was bearish about life and death made an uncharacteristic plan because of concerns. When there was only one sentence between life and death, what Jixiao said was Xueli, thank you. If breaking down because of killing one's friends ten thousand times is called hating Hai Qingtian, changing for one's lover and seeing the world from a new perspective is called making small fuss. Then making small troubles is too difficult, and hating Hai Qingtian is too easy.
Because the author has withdrawn from the industry, to be honest, this book is much better than many of the articles on the list now...
