Thank Goodness, the Top Is the Protagonist

I don't read any gong/shou who are bland as a chrysanthemum or fake as plastic. I don't know how else to sum it up: the gong/shou is dominant in bed, the shou is a virgin, the gong is the protagonist, and I think they dote on each other.

Absolutely Brilliant, Part 4

Highly rated stories, 9.7 and up. I'll read just about anything. Mostly stocking up for later, so I'll browse this list when I'm in a reading slump. Unread stories start at 4 stars, and free ones start at 5, though the ratings may change over time~

Because I’m Good at Shipping Couples

Only stories with a male lead as the pursuer. I like relationships with mutual affection and balanced devotion, with a slight preference for one side. I prefer charming, powerful male leads, strong couples, sci-fi, and Western fantasy. I can't stand excessive obsession or feminized male leads.

Only Stories With a Rich, Beautiful Bottom and a Handsome, Wealthy Top

Probably just a list of recommendations for stories with a rich, beautiful bottom and a tall, handsome top. Both top- and bottom-focused perspectives are included. No insectoid race stories or stories with a universally adored protagonist.

Top-Male-Lead Reading Log

A record of male-lead stories that moved me with their writing or plot. I prefer wuxia and ancient-style settings, but I will accept any genre if it is well written. I like stories where the romantic interest between the top and bottom is relatively equal.

The Top Fakes His Death, Comes Back to Life, or Changes Identity

The top is reborn into the same timeline, takes on a secret identity, or gets a second chance at love from a past life.

Top-Centric BL with Mutual Devotion

Some top-centric stories I enjoy. I'm a fan of handsome tops and beautiful bottoms. I don't have many dealbreakers or a particular bias; most are younger tops. One-on-one is a must. Slowly searching…

Reading Log

Keeping track of stories I've read that are worth remembering or rereading. Second pass: At first I was very selective, but the more I read, the more I realized that stories I used to think were merely pretty good would now count as great.

Reading Log: Top-Centric Stories

When reading stories from the top's perspective, I like couples who dote on each other equally or where the top dotes on the bottom more. I rarely read stories where either character cross-dresses, is frail, or is universally adored.

Just Read It. You'll See How Authoritative This List Is

Love in the First Dimension. Everything here is gay romance except for one no-CP story about a female bean.

Historical Danmei and Cultivation (Mostly Rated 9+)

BL >> no-CP = multi-CP. Picked from memory: stories I remember well enough to recommend to others. The farther down the list, the older the stories. My tastes are all over the place, so consider yourself warned.

A Few BL Novels with Devoted Top Protagonists

I prefer stories where both leads dote on each other, especially ones where the top is strong and especially indulgent toward the bottom. There are also a few where the bottom dotes on the top. I don't mind as long as the protagonist is strong. None of the stories here have a weak or impotent top.

Romance-Brained Readers Who Just Want to Read About Romance

I comment on both plot and romance. I read a lot and across all kinds of genres, so you'll have to decide for yourself whether they're your cup of tea. Some are recommended because I like the side couple, so read the reviews before diving in.

Anything Goes

The list name comes from a meme: “I free” means “I’m free.” The correct version is “I freedom,” meaning “I’m free”

Rated 90 or Above

Maybe the beginning is amazing but the later parts are just okay, or the ending falls apart, even though the beginning is truly brilliant. They have flaws, which is a shame, but I just can't let them go.

Absolutely Fantastic Free Danmei

The top and bottom are a perfect match! Super sweet, and it costs nothing! Adorable little couples cuddling together! Older books, especially those over ten years old, may reflect very different attitudes. I don't hold them to modern standards, so judge for yourself.

Hidden Gems I Found Before He Got Famous

I found all of these while they were still serialized or had only a few thousand bookmarks. Now they're really popular. Two are BG, the rest BL. Some are long, some short, and they're all beautifully written.

Mutual Pampering: Stories Leaning Toward Either the Top or Bottom

I prefer romance-focused stories. They’re mostly four-star reads because Jinjiang won’t let me give five stars. My reviews focus on what makes each book worth recommending, not on warning you off. The writing in all the books here is good. I’ll keep updating this list.
