A Collection of Mature Men

My own, not especially rigorous collection of danmei with mature male characters. Mostly urban stories. The collection may be incomplete. I recommend opening the relevant authors' profiles ().

Danmei Rated Four or Five Stars Only

I'm particular about whose perspective the story follows. This list only includes novels that left an impression on me.

Urban Danmei: Slice of Life, Literary, and Heartwarming

Even without dramatic twists and turns, they find deep love in their ordinary lives. (The romance is the main focus, with university, workplace, and fantasy settings.)

A Little of Everything, Popular and Niche

My personal preference is strong x strong. I especially love cool-headed shous and gentle gongs. Both leads should be swoon-worthy. This list doesn't strictly follow all my major preferences, but it's an ongoing collection of novels I think are well written.

Sweet Stories | Modern BL | ②

Heavily reliant on sweet BL stories, though I can handle a little angst. A big collection of modern-day BL, including three- to five-star reads. If I haven't bought the extras, I haven't fully subscribed.

Worth Reading Again

Most are sweet, with a few that are slightly bittersweet.

Handsome Bottoms and Disciplined Bottoms (Top and Bottom Fans Only, No Bug Lovers)

I'm not really into beautiful gongs or shous, but there are so few couples who are just plain handsome (sobs). I'm starving for content. I added these as long as the characters aren't feminized, so check the tags yourself.

Great Danmei Stories

A chaotic mix of personal tastes! I'll read anything with good writing. I love digging up hidden gems, totally not kidding, and high-rated novels too~

Fully Completed Series

I'm an omnivore with no particular preferences. I can't handle awkward writing or really over-the-top melodrama. My priorities are writing > characterization ≥ plot. Feel free to recommend books in the comments.

My Personal Reading List

Plot > writing > characterization. I prefer stories with strong career arcs and plot-driven narratives. There's a huge overlap with my personal top 100 (since I rated them all myself), so this is basically a repost of my ratings.

A Taste of Old Married Couple Life (?)

The kind of story where an ordinary, slow-burn romance gradually has the reader's favorite couple all lovey-dovey

Good Enough to Read Again

JJ won’t let me give everything five stars, so I gave them all four. They’re really all five-star reads, ahhhhh!

BL Favorites Worth Rereading (Some of Them)

I left out novels by a few hugely popular authors in their fandoms, and recommend only one book per series. I have eclectic tastes and love power-couple dynamics and plot-driven stories. Everything on this list is either a book I can't find fault with or one whose strengths outweigh its flaws.
