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.

Some Books I Like
No bad endings.
Campus Fiction
A feast of delicious stories
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!
Contemporary Danmei Top Picks
Silly novels are freaking awesome!
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.

Ahhh, I can't bear to leave it [crying] I haven't had enough of it [crying]
I've finished watching it. Hey, I can watch it well even with the help of my assistant CP.
The first brush ends on July 30, 2026 [Fireworks] Young lovers may be happy forever [red heart] I love Sanjiu's writing so much, I won't say more and we'll meet next [touching head]
The writing style is light and comfortable... People will grow up, and they will slowly stop hating the things they used to hate, and they will even miss the way they came. Therefore, the people in the old house will not be separated. Their roots are here, and they will always meet again after going around.
At 5:37 am on April 23, 2026, I read this book for the first time after finishing the series. The chapters about Si Tu's death made me cry all the time. I have never cried so fiercely while reading a novel. I was very afraid that the small circle of the protagonist in the novel would break up and he would not die. I have been a left-behind child since I was in the second grade of elementary school. Later, I no longer felt a sense of belonging anywhere, and I was not close to any elders in my family. My friends in junior high school, high school, and university had not been in contact with each other since graduation, and I had never been in a relationship. Even so, it seems that I still haven't learned how to say goodbye.
Did Xiao Gong treat Lin Chuan as his boss when he was unconscious... This book is so sad. Even if the main character reconciles later, there is always a faint sense of sadness. I cry when I think about it. .
The first time I wrote a long review was on a long rainy night. Picking Up Stars, at first glance, the copywriting seemed childish, and I also saw some negative comments from others, but after reading it myself, I found this book to be happy when I read it, and sad when I put it down. Brother Fang is a handsome guy with extremely high quotient and great love and justice. He exudes charisma at all times. He is brave and responsible when it comes to love. He likes Brother Yan so much that he wants to give him everything. But he is also extremely rational. He will be disappointed and free and easy to pull away. He will also give Brother Yan a chance to calm down and come back. In their love, Brother Fang is always the one who is full of security. Brother Yan, at first he was an extremely handsome cool guy, a boy riding a motorcycle, so cool. Although there are criticisms of Brother Yan on the Internet, thinking that he is not loving enough and deceives Brother Fang's feelings, I understand better. He was young at that time, and it seemed difficult to balance his future and love. He was not willing to let Brother Fang accommodate him. At the same time, as a mentally unhealthy child, he had not learned how to love others. Later he also made changes. The feelings of Brother Yan gave me a feeling of happiness like my long johns were tucked into my socks, and it made me feel how could there be such a happy love in the world! I never get tired of watching their daily life together, and my lips never drop when I watch it. Hahahahaha, how can a straight guy be so funny? They both make me laugh. Moreover, Sanjiuda's writing style is always very delicate, and the descriptions are very visual. I always have a beautiful picture of two handsome guys making out and loving each other and living in love in my mind. The friendship in this book is amazing. In my opinion, it is another part of the soul of this book. The four of them, Xiao Gong, Yan Ge, Situ, and Siming, were tied up and grew up. They said that their roots were rotten here, that they hated this place, and that they were eager to grow up and leave. However, time passed quickly, and they struggled to grow up. One after another, they left this small building, and Situ remained here. They got together again, but it was because of Si Tu's death. Situ, you are really cruel. You said you all hate saying goodbye. Aren't you afraid that they will hate you to death? You are so free and easy, you are a good person, why did you die so early after finally growing up? The three of them rushed back and only saw your body. No way, I cried for a long time when Si Tu died here, it was too cruel, Sanjiu, you are the best at making me cry. Finally, picking up stars can heal and make you depressed. I can't help but cry when reading any of Sanjiuda's books. Fang Ge Yan Ge Xing
Finished spreading flowers! So touching!
Although everyone doesn't like this book, I really like Teacher Buwen Sanjiu's work. It's very mature and realistic, but it has these tangled little thoughts. But everyone is nice. Thank you, madam, for your hard work
Ahhhhhh, the flowers are finished! Xiaogong is happy that someone loves me and I feel relieved! He must have been depressed during that time. He was sleeping and not eating. It was great that Brother Arikawa loved her!
