Wuxia Stories
The focus is on the jianghu. Court politics may come into play, but they'll be woven together with the jianghu.
Court Intrigue, Wuxia, and Power Plays
Mostly historical fantasy settings, though I won't necessarily file them under historical fiction. The focus is on the imperial court and palace. There may be some jianghu or wuxia stories, but the court should make up more of the novel overall.
Finished Stories with Versatile Couples
Switches, completed, and all chapters purchased. Taking my time with these. My tastes are all over the place; I add each book after I finish it. I also include vers.
Five-Star Favorites
Only my personal preferences, with a soft spot for all kinds of fantasy and powerful couples.
Wuxia/Xianxia or Senior-Junior Brother Romance

The Overbearing CEO's Palm-Petted Darling (BL)
#:D #Top-tier #All worth a read, but why are they rated C-tier?
CPJ-Friendly Reads
No control freaks, no Mary Sues, and no shippers who fetishize either the top or the bottom. This list features lesser-known, readable pairings rather than the most popular ones.
Records
Generally, stories focused on the bottom.
Only Stories with Versatile Couples
I like reading about two grown men awkwardly falling in love. I'm not a fan of overly angsty stories, dumb characters, or sugary fluff with no substance, though a well-written story can be an exception.
Finished and Reviewed
Finished and reviewed. I'm not exactly an attack or receive partisan, since I like switches. I read a lot, so I'm pretty strict with my ratings, but everything I've finished is here.
Worth Reading
Ones I like and revisit over and over.
My Faves, I Read Everything
Mutual affection, both taking the lead, or mutual affection with one partner more dominant. I like beautiful, assertive tops and swoon-worthy bottoms. Few deal-breakers. I like tops who get pushed around, but no hard-core pounding machines, please.
Switch Couples I’ve Read
Favorite switch couples stories
For Readers Who Love Logic, Worldbuilding, and Plot, and Have No Triggers
Updated regularly, but not necessarily completed. All kinds of genres, so proceed with caution if you have triggers! I haven't noted the romance perspective or whether there's a CP, so please check each book yourself.
Worth Reading Again and Again
Some stories lean toward the shou, others toward the gong; I'm not picky. They're all couples who choose each other and give as much as they get. As long as they're in love, the rest doesn't matter.
Versatile Tops
Updates are slow because I can’t find anything good to read.

Series of novels with connected worldbuilding and storylines
Switching Roles or Both Bottoms
Switch couples are rare enough as it is, and I'm a bit picky too. What a shame~
