I’ll Definitely Organize My 900-Plus GL Novels
I read books like I buy games: I only get halfway through, and often skip around. I'm not a purist, my tastes are all over the place, and my morals aren't great. Sorting through over nine hundred favorites is so hard...
Saving Some Overflowing Love: GL
This love is so intense, every second of it. I needed time to recover after finishing it.
Yuri | Disabled, Battle-Worn, and Frail Characters
Fellow fans, come on in. Three stars means readable, four stars means at least pretty good. Some great stories only got four stars because Jinjiang limits how many five-star ratings I can give, sob.

Great Completed Yuri Novels
My personal tastes.
Mostly Yuri, with Some Gen Fiction and Strong Female Leads in Romance
I sorted these after reading them, so the quality is guaranteed. The ratings are only four stars because JJ won't let me give five anymore. Otherwise, I'd give them all five stars.
Great Yuri Reads

Books I’ve Read Twice: Yuri Party
Past and present, ones I've liked and ones I used to like, might reread, good for readers with eclectic tastes, with a female-female romance
A Must-Read, No Regrets
The best of the best in yuri. The plot and romance are equally important. Six years of careful reading and curation.
Girls' Love
These are all female-female romances I like and think are amazing. Please don’t hate on them if they’re not your thing.

Lu Gu's daily life is incredibly sweet. Although there are some heart-wrenching moments, the small details in their daily lives are very touching. It's the kind of romance I dream of. They are both free and independent yet deeply care for each other, having included each other in their lives.
Couldn't this book be made into a radio drama? [Ear emoji]
A second viewing three years later I've never dared to rewatch it; it's too heartbreaking. It's not about romance or friendship, but rather the sheer tragedy of Dr. Lu's life, except for the last ten years or so when he was peacefully with Captain Gu. Seeing everything Dr. Lu did for his patients deeply moved me. Dr. Lu has always been my idol.
I initially read this novel and was inspired to become a doctor, so I resolutely chose science in high school. Now, in the blink of an eye, I'm a junior in college, and I'm even familiar with some of the medical terms from the story... It's so moving; it truly changed my life.
August 12, 2025. I still don't dare to watch it again. I hope Dr. Lu and Captain Gu are safe, healthy, and happy forever.
I watched "Life is a Journey" after watching "Forensic Doctor". It was very good, positive and touching.
Please update the locked chapters; the story is incomplete.
Knowing that this child would be the only one connected to Gu Yanzhi after she left, Lu Qingshi decided to give the child Gu Yanzhi's surname. Gu Yanzhi named the child "Gu Nianqing," meaning he would always remember and love Lu Qingshi. A child is the fruit of two people's love.
Everything was fine until the ending, which was too rushed and abrupt, making for a poor user experience.
February 7, 2026. Finished watching the book signing at the University of Wine today. Wishing you all the best! I'm seeing you the day after tomorrow. Wishing us both good fortune, happiness, and peace! 🤷
