The Family of One Is So Cute
Keeping track of the novels I finish in 2026. I'm a moderate-to-strong gong fan.
Worth Rereading
I love all kinds: shou-focused, gong-focused, power couples, strong gong and weaker shou, and shou doting on gong. They're all here. (The star ratings don't reflect how good they are. Every book on this list is worth rereading over and over!!)
Miscellaneous (Mutual Pampering, Leaning Toward the Top)
Some have mutual pampering (possibly with a focus on the bottom), some focus on the top, some are bottom-centric, and some are top-centric. But basically, both are virgins.
Looking for Warnings: Fake Mutual Pampering, Top-Centric, Bottom Dotes on Top, Mutual Pampering
Rants and records. Maybe I'll read it, maybe not. Both warnings and recommendations. If you're into strong bottoms, this isn't for you: I favor tops and dote on them. Bottom stans and people who claim to be neutral about mutual pampering, stay away. If you can't see that, go read something else.
A Top's Mom's Reading Log
I enjoy stories that glorify the top, as well as stories that bash him. My baseline is mutual devotion, leaning toward the top. I also read male-protagonist stories with no CP. Updated regularly.
Strong Seme Protagonists I Adore
I like gong characters who are ambitious and focused on their careers. My preferences: intelligent characters with sound reasoning, and expansive worldbuilding that doesn't read like a textbook. If anyone shares my taste, please leave me a message with recommendations. Pretty please!
Weak Tops
Top-leaning stories without an overpowered top. This is just a record, so there may not be many. Stories with fake-strong tops are included too.
Seme-Led / Mutual Pampering, Seme-Focused Reading Log 1
A reading record, not a recommendation list
Weaker Bottom, Pampered Top
Weak gong, strong shou; I lean toward gong-focused stories
For My Own Rereading
A great gong and a weak-in-bed gong. What a beautiful thing.
Top Gong
Both weak and strong gong; the shou are all adored and spoiled rotten. No angst for the gong, at most they spoil each other.
Top-Only Stories I’m Saving
For my own reference
BL: Protagonist-Tops and Pampered Tops
I like weak tops and strong bottoms, with the bottom doting on the top. Some of these are ones I read early on, so they may contain minor landmines.
Open Auditions
So many!
Top-Centric
I have a moderate preference for tops
