My Personal Top Picks!

Every book perfectly suits my tastes in every way. The kind that leaves you with withdrawal symptoms after you finish??

Level A
11Books27Follows17hUpdated

Angsty Romance

Love and hate tangled together, and genuine happiness. Both the male and female leads have issues; neither is an absolute male-or-female worshipper. They hurt each other!

Level B
21Books11Follows1dUpdated

A Hodgepodge of Books I’ve Read Over and Over

Includes all kinds of complicated relationships, such as pseudo-incestuous cousins, pseudo aunt and nephew, stepmother and stepson, and more, mixed with the innocent fluttering hearts of young boys and girls. The sweetness and tension are off the charts, absolutely delicious to ship!

Level A
35Books9Follows2dUpdated

Novels Worth Rereading

I love Mary Sue stories and romance. No dealbreakers.

Level B
33Books14Follows4dUpdated

Great Stories I've Unearthed

I like stories with everyone falling for the protagonist and gloomy, obsessive characters. Every now and then, I also enjoy something light and wholesome with normal people.

Level C
24Books3Follows8dUpdated

For My Own Use: Mary Sues / Ordinary Heroines / Dog Lovers

Transmigration/Western fantasy/historical romance. He (or they) must have done something amazing in a past life to meet this precious girl! Beloved treasures I'll reread again and again (not every title necessarily fits the description).

Level C
77Books99Follows11dUpdated

Fan Favorites × Unusual Appetites × Dark Vibes × Over-the-Top Drama

A random mix of everything, with all kinds of kinks and genres.

Level B
90Books825Follows13dUpdated

Original Fiction

I added one star to every rating because Jinjiang won't let me give five stars, but there isn't a single one of these I dislike! So this is the only way.

Level B

A Personal Archive of Stories I've Read (BG and BL)

Mostly gong-centric stories.

Level C

Personal Taste: I Like Stories Where Someone Has a Favorite

Includes BL and BG. I've been reading for over ten years and like stories where the protagonist is doted on.

Level C
14Books1Follows1moUpdated

Worth a Second Read

Historical romance, futuristic, and period dramas.

Level C

My Kink, My Creation

The male leads in this list each have their own flavor of sadism, controlling tendencies, perversion, brooding darkness, dom energy, or craziness.

Good Reads I Love (2)

For various reasons, these didn't quite make it to my unconditional-love favorites, but they're still good (I actually wanted to give every one of them five stars, but JJ won't let me!).

Level C

No CP or Little Romance, In My Opinion

This started out as a Mid-Autumn Festival task list, but now it's a collection of stories I personally think are good. They all have no romance, or are romance stories where dating isn't a major focus. I'll keep adding to it.

Level A
49Books29Follows1moUpdated

Straight-Up Male Lead, BG

I lean toward aloof beauties, gentlemen, and elites, with the flavor of good looks combined with obsessive, dark, and controlling traits

Level C
22Books0Follows2moUpdated

A Chaotic Melting Pot

Just a simple reading log. I read everything except BL, and prefer mythology, fairy tales, fantasy, the supernatural, magic, and horror. I don't like Systems, transmigrating into a book, ABO, or quick transmigration.

Level B

My Favorites

Good reads

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.

Level B
31Books10Follows2moUpdated

Recent Reads I've Enjoyed

Mostly BG, with a tiny handful of BL, which I almost never read. There's also girl-focused content, strong heroines, and all sorts of other things. I'm not picky.

The God of BG Romance

Updated regularly. This includes all the romance novels I love most. They all have solid writing, no amateurish prose. Original works and fanfiction included. (I can't give everything five stars because of the system...)
