The Romance Is Intense

The writing may or may not be great, but the romance is definitely well done. Includes BL and BG.

A Guide to Getting Hooked

My favorite book by each author. Usually, it's the first book of theirs I read, though sometimes I like an author so much that I add several.

My Personal Picks in Danmei, 2014–2024

Around 200 books a year, with 15 years of reading experience. A personal selection. Most are sweet romances, perfect for unwinding after a long, exhausting day.

Handsome Bottoms and Disciplined Bottoms (Top and Bottom Fans Only, No Bug Lovers)

I'm not really into beautiful gongs or shous, but there are so few couples who are just plain handsome (sobs). I'm starving for content. I added these as long as the characters aren't feminized, so check the tags yourself.

Stories That Feel Like Real Life

Slow-burn stories with good writing that I’ve read and can still remember. (Why does this feel like it’s turning into a column for Wu Zhe and Bu Wen Sanjiu?)

Great Stories I Stayed Up All Night to Finish

I like cool, aloof bottoms and catlike bottoms. I'm a firm supporter of giving both sides equal attention in CP pairings. I love stories with top protagonists and intensely mutual feelings. No doormats, please! Reviews may contain some spoilers.

Delicious! I’m Digging In!

I especially love second-chance romances, old flames rekindling, sickly characters, self-deprecating loyal puppy semes, and gentle semes. I love harem-protagonist ukes and beautiful, strong-but-tragic ukes. There are more seme-focused stories here, but as long as the writing is good, everything is good.

Modern Era

Modern-day settings, marked BG or BL. Danmei, romance, school life, workplace, esports, mystery, etc.

Read Whatever Page the Wind Turns To

[1] I only read one-on-one romances. I lean toward traditional pairings and like couples who are both strong and devoted to each other, especially when the top dotes on the bottom. I love sweet, satisfying stories, whether the protagonist is the top or the bottom. Anything extreme is an instant nope!

My Personal Treasure Trove of BL

My favorite BL novels. There's a mix of popular, moderately popular, and niche titles, and I'm still working on the list. The ratings are just for fun, and I had to give them four stars. I'm leaving out the hugely popular ones.

My Favorite Mature Men and Slow-Burning Relationships

Cozy and healing, with the everyday warmth of life. A slow-burn, balanced power-couple romance where they dote on each other. Mature love. The blurbs are short because I read some of these so long ago (and I'm too lazy to write more).

Omnivore's Full-Subscription Recommendations 1.0

I’ll read anything as long as the writing is decent. (Guess I’m an omnivore?) A lot of these are books I read years ago, so I’ll write down my general impressions.
