Top-Pursuer Stories

Not an attack-obsessed fan, a recipient-obsessed fan, or a protagonist-obsessed fan. No insectoid stories made to order. I enjoy all kinds, especially strong mutual pining.

Some Angsty Boys’ Love Stories About Rekindled Romance

Basically, it’s all melodrama. A little angst is fun, but the more devastating, the better.

Seme Protagonists, Mutual Pampering, Power Couples

I’m into couples who dote on each other, equally strong leads, and plenty of tension. I prefer both leads to be inexperienced; I’ll usually flag it if they aren’t. I never read stories where the bottom isn’t sexually inexperienced. I’m not a stan for either role.

Omnivorous, Top-Leaning

I read everything, mostly to keep track of what I've read or I'll forget. I lean toward top fans and mostly read stories from the top's perspective. I'll label weak tops and the like.

My Personal Taste: Top-Centric, Tops Dote on Bottoms (Warnings + Recs)

I have no idea what the hell I mean or whose cake I've supposedly stolen. My tastes: a strong, doting top; a bottom-focused top who dotes on his bottom; mudding the bottom. Not for me: weak tops, short tops, weak tops in bed.

Five-Star Pure Love Stories

Novels with excellent writing and plots that are worth rereading, all fully subscribed. I prefer historical and cultivation stories, with the occasional modern or Western fantasy novel. I don't like tragic stories. I'll update the list based on my reread experience.

Reading Log: Fans of Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Bottoms Welcome

I’m a shou fan, and I prefer equally strong couples. My tastes include sickly, beautiful, strong-but-tragic, and battle-worn shou. I like stories with strong plots. I skip chapters most of the time, so I rarely buy the whole book. This list is updated regularly.

BL I'm Following in 2026

It's so hard to find good books. The books on Jinjiang keep getting worse. Finding even two readable ones every now and then feels like a win.

Novels Set in Ancient Times

Ancient-setting stories, including historical fiction, alternate history, and wuxia. Plot-focused, with farming and development, construction, mystery, war, jianghu stories, and more

The Peach Blossoms Still Smile in the Spring Breeze

I prefer historical danmei. In the relationship, I like aloof tops and passionate bottoms (not every book on this list necessarily fits). I like melodramatic angst, and mainly read for the couples. Characterization and the romance matter most to me; I’m not picky about anything else.

[Historical BL] The Zither Player Comes to the Ming Dynasty

I'm drunk and ready to sleep, so you may leave; if you feel like it tomorrow, bring your qin and come back.

Hidden Gems on Jinjiang (Mostly Niche)

Bottom-focused, both leads are strong, mutually devoted, and strictly monogamous. Perfect for CP fans (list being updated).

For Personal Use: Maybe Bottom-Leaning

My taste is pretty dark, and I love melodrama. Every so often I enjoy a more wholesome, bottom-leaning pairing, Kun. I like gongs who dote on their bottoms.

Bottom-Centric Content Warnings: Avoiding Duds

Shou-focused content warnings: includes unfaithful gongs, shous pursuing gongs, stand-ins, reader discretion advised, spotlight-stealing moments, friends-and-family squads, and explosive preview chapters. Nothing against the authors, unless they're GLM.

2026 Danmei Recommendations

Stories with either the gong or the shou as the main character. I enjoy all kinds.

Mutual Pampering or Top-Leaning

The romance can be balanced or favor the seme, but it cannot favor the uke.

Love Bottom Leads

BL/GB. The bottom is devoted to the top (or has been tamed). The top is strong, and they dote on each other. Exploring some niche kinks…

My Personal Reading Log

My personal reading recommendations. I only gave these four stars because I ran out of slots. In reality, anything I’d read all the way through would get five stars. Even the slightest red flag, no matter how far in I am, and I’m out, yep.
