Books I absolutely love, both no-romance and danmei, mostly fanworks but with some original stories too. Pure feel-good reads. I honestly want to give them all five stars. Green River is to blame :)
My Personal Favorite Fanfiction
Includes stories I love as well as ones that seem fresh and intriguing. So far, the fandoms include Naruto, crossovers with Marvel and DC, Harry Potter, wuxia, Bungo Stray Dogs, Lobotomy Corporation, Demon Slayer, and Cultist Simulator.
Your Heart Is Like Iron (The Best Sneaky Big Chicken)
A dedicated fanfiction collection, including wuxia, Hunter x Hunter, Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, Bungou Stray Dogs, Touken Ranbu, Detective Conan, DC, the original Honkai, and more. Most are pretty reliable about updating, probably. A vulgar person with refined taste, that's me.
Pure Love Fanfiction and Crossover Derivatives
Mainly fanfiction for Jujutsu Kaisen, Naruto, Conan, The Prince of Tennis, Bungo Stray Dogs, and the like. Mostly from the bottom's perspective, with a preference for bottom-coded protagonists.
Romance, No Romance, and Top Leads
I’m into everyone-loves-him stories and BL, mainly from the gong’s perspective or focused on the gong. I occasionally enjoy couples who dote on each other, so feel free to pick and choose. This list is mostly for my own reference. The full stops mean the entries still need to be filled in. I’ll write more once I reach a hundred.

Top-Only Story Log 2
Niche, unusual tastes, and top-focused. I love strict, domineering tops. A top-centric reader's review log, both likes and dislikes. Prefer strong tops and strong bottoms; hate weak tops and weak bottoms.

A Little Bit of Everything, Saved to Revisit
Entirely subjective: a mixed bag of original danmei, fan fiction, and no-CP works. I only review the works themselves. If an author has some controversy, use your own level of tolerance to decide whether to avoid them.

Dazai Osamu Genless Recommendations
I'll always love Mr. Dazai! This list focuses on Dazai from Bungo Stray Dogs, mostly gen with some all-characters pairings and the Buraiha group (ratings are arbitrary, so check the notes).

Protagonist Fans Can Read These Protagonist-Top Stories
Oh my god, oh my god. Say it ten thousand times and it's still oh my god. I read danmei, but I'm a woman. I don't want to defend it, and don't help the other side.

How should I put it, I finally realized that I only love the Dazai in Fumino, not other Dazai. Shuji's feeling was correct. Dazai was indeed looking down on him with a superior attitude, just like a god looking down on humans. But I don't love gods, and Dazai is definitely not a god. Cliché, this ending is too cliché, being loved, saved, inherited and pursued is not worthy of Dazai. In the first part, I almost thought that Azai became Fumino Dazai, but in the second part, I found that he could not be Fumino Dazai, and Xiaozai would not become Fumino Dazai. Because Dazai could not be saved by anyone, not even his "other self", Odasaku just gave him a push and gave him and the world another possibility, but it was definitely not a "save". All the beautiful fireworks ignited his desolate heart. Your writing style is really beautiful. Thank you for describing such a different "Dazai". It also made me realize that the Dazai I love can only exist in the original work and cannot exist in any fan fiction. Because there are a thousand Dazai in the eyes of a thousand people, but the one that touches my heart is only that Dazai.
Ah Zai, you start as a reliable child and end as a mature adult. This is life.
I don't know what other people think, and I don't really care. But this article makes me think this is Dazai. I once wanted to write an article if Dazai was born in a peaceful China, but I suddenly discovered that if he were born in China, he would be a completely different Dazai. It can be said that he is not the Dazai I thought he was. I just thought this article was very satisfying.
To this day, I still come back to see Azai. I feel that I will never forget it in my life. While reading the teacher's new article, I also make a wish about what it would be like if Aye and Azai met. Well~ He is 100% the boss behind the scenes. When he thinks that Mr. Shuji has an eight-hundred-meter-thick filter on Mr. A, Aye, this crazy critic, must have stars in his eyes. After all, he is a person who can die as a martyr to save Mr. Shuuji and the world.
I just finished writing the review for the marked chapter and flipped back to find an extra chapter. For various reasons, I wanted to scold the English author even more. I was so angry. This is based on the feeling of a favorite work being cut off. I'm talking about this article. But still like it very much. I decided to make an excerpt later... In short, Zai A is the most realistic Zai I have ever seen, the one who feels like the boss behind the scenes and the most family-like Zai. What a strange and long prefix
I came across this book a long time ago, but out of a subtle distrust of the author, I have put it away until now. But now I have to apologize for my presumption, because I really like this story. The following is purely personal nonsense. To be honest, I don't like Osamu Dazai. It's not some weird negative emotion, it's just simple and doesn't fit my definition of liking. I have probably imagined what kind of emotion I would feel if I really faced such a person. It would probably be a subconscious sense of distance, indifference and resistance. If it's possible to do something to help him, I will definitely try my best. But I will not try to understand him, nor will I try to save him. Because that's not something I can do, and on that basis, useless emotions like sympathy, or trying to open that too heavy door and walk in, are too offensive. That's never what I would do. Doomed failure can also be sad. Even though he seemed to be crying for help. But it is precisely because of this that it is really great that there is a group of people in this world who "cannot ignore someone asking for help". Silly or naive, it's great that their existence is the same as Dazai Osamu's. But if the story had stopped there, I probably wouldn't have been so shocked. I really didn't expect that in the subsequent stories, Azai would gradually change and even become his final appearance. That final image is no longer Dazai in any parallel world, but another new possibility that is unique and cannot be copied. And precisely because of Osamu Dazai's part, such an image is even more valuable. It is a proof of possibility. Dazai Osamu can also be proved to be truly redeemed in a reasonable way. This world has meaning. Living is more meaningful than dying. Possibility brings hope, which is the most cruel and beautiful thing.
The only article that regards abuse as sweetness...
Well, after reading the article, I found that my favorite is the original Zai.
Ah, I really do. I really like it.
It's really HE. I burst into tears. It's not easy.
