BG/Romance Is Better When You Watch Other People Fall in Love
I read everything
Like
A collection that’s very much to my taste: BG romances with characters who feel real, intense push-and-pull, wooden heroines, seriously badass female leads, and love-hate dramas that hit me right in the feels.

Romance Gems Worth Rereading
Certified good reads by an eight-year web-novel veteran. This list is still being updated, and I’ll write more complete reviews when I have time (though I’m not very good at writing them). Thanks for saving the list, and feel free to recommend books to me!
Sweet BG Romance with Plenty of Relationship Development
Mostly recommendations for stories I've read and enjoyed. I like melodrama, characters adored by everyone, and bittersweet angst, with the heroine having the upper hand in the relationship and the hero being a hopeless romantic.

Thoughts on a few books
You're Missing Out If You Don't Read These
One day I opened this reading list and thought, Wow, this person's taste is amazing! (Dives headfirst into the books)
BG / Highly Rated
Bad writing is my only dealbreaker
Savoring the Finest Stories
Romance will save the world!
My Tastes Can Be Niche, But Not Bizarre
I thought my tastes were all over the place, but looking closely, almost all of them feature strong female leads. It's just that they come in lots of different varieties (?)

Some are so good I read them all the way through; some drew me in but I dropped them halfway; some I used to think were great; and some I have to reread every so often.

Women
Just keeping track of the female-led stories I love most, where the women make a better life for themselves through their own efforts.

It has been 23 years since I followed this serial [crying]
I didn't expect to see this new extra chapter 25 years later. It really feels like Li Mingxin from a parallel world spent three years and was finally willing to hand over himself to Chi Muzhi. I'm so touched! ! (I read something the author said before. The author said that her novels have never written a fairy tale ending of marriage. Most of them propose marriage. This ending really surprised me!
Dad, I feel very happy after reading your novel.
Thank you for this story. I like it so much. It is very, very complete up to this point.
So happy. The male protagonist is too tolerant [biting handkerchief]
Second brush! Still looks great!
Woo woo woo, show me and make me cry [crying] So far I have collected 3 of Teacher Jin's 💛, each one is shining and beautiful [red heart] [red heart] [red heart]
My uncle and mother's story broke my guard. There are thousands of Cheng Yongxians in this world, and how many Chi Muzhi are there?

Oh my god! Bless! Lock it up!
