Xianxia Romance
Some xianxia
Tortured Male Leads
I read both BG and BL, and I have a soft spot for stories where the man gets hurt. I can’t stand coercive scenes that disrespect the female lead.
Male Suffering Collection
The male lead's inner thoughts are wonderfully nuanced, and the female lead has the upper hand in the relationship.
Guide to the BG Yandere in Ancient Sayings About Dog Blood
A stubborn heroine and a brooding, gloomy hero. I can't stand men who aren't masculine. The more the hero suffers, the happier I am. I only accept emotional angst for the heroine, no physical abuse.
My Favorite Reads: Angst for the Male and Female Leads, Beloved by All
Kinks: harem of admirers / (dark or wholesome) female worship / female protagonist, male virgin / male characters getting hurt / obsessive, gloomy male lead / scheming male lead / two-faced male lead
The Moon-Shooting Collection
I'm picky about what I read. These are historical romance stories I've read after going through a lot of books, and I think they have great plots, good writing, and excellent tropes
Good Reads I Love, A
Historical romance. Lots of melodrama; I prefer sweeping, fast-paced plots.
Books I've Read
A record of books that left a lasting impression. When I run out of things to read, I can come back and revisit them.
Ancient-Era Romance Between an Older Sister and Younger Brother
Long live older-woman-younger-man romances | To-read list
Love Like Wallpaper: Forceful Taking
Most have some strong elements, mainly yandere and possessive characters, though some are simply about the strong bullying the weak.
Cool-Headed, Unbothered Heroines Vs. Love-Struck, Yandere Heroes
A cool, pure-hearted heroine with a steady core, and a love-struck hero who goes off the rails. An intense push and pull between avoidant and anxious attachment styles, with sweetness and angst intertwined.
Girls Are Treasures of the World
No particular style, just browsing.
Steamy BG Romance: If Only We’d Met on PO
Steamy. I only read romance, with a preference for historical and xianxia. Some are best enjoyed without overthinking. Food-loving heroines, but not all are strong female leads. All that spice makes for a comforting read.
Romance
Some stories I really loved reading from ages 13–14 through 17–18. I love younger love interests.

I Love Male Leads Who Go Dark
Yandere, aloof beauties, unrequited love with a touch of madness, strong possessiveness, and long-laid plans.

Although I generally don't read characters whose behavior is special, I was really happy to come across this book when I was under a lot of pressure. Everyone was very excited. It's very good [Spread Flowers]
After reading it, I was actually attracted by the character setting and plot at the beginning. I just wanted to see how the heroine would turn around and develop a reasonable relationship with the hero. But the more I watched, the more I felt something was wrong. The heroine was completely forcibly bound to the so-called system, from beginning to end. In the end, just commit suicide. Well, the male protagonist simply erases himself. Forcibly maintain the persona, forcefully pull.
Finally it was rounded. The extra chapter is very well written. In fact, it would have been better if it had been at the front, the logic would have been smoother. Maybe the author prefers big twists! I persisted until I finished reading. Except for the middle part, which felt a bit watery, there were some plots with ineffective performances, and the scene felt like a mess. (Of course, maybe the author just wants this feeling of chaos). The beginning and ending are both good and rounded, and the extra details are added to make it smoother. Overall it's pretty good and quite interesting.
No matter what others say, I just like the dark side of the road very much! ! ! ! ! ! I like the heroine's character and the male protagonist's design. Xianpin [star eye][star eye][star eye]
Ignore the unreasonable logic and plot direction, the plot is quite interesting
How to block glasses [glasses]
It always feels a bit unfinished. The ending is a bit rushed. People who watch it can't get up or down.
Alas, I really liked the first part, but the second part was so inexplicable that it felt like it was unfinished [crying]
If you want to read this book, please open it quickly! ! !
I finally got to the end of it. The first half of it made me feel sick to my stomach. The second half was so confusing. I've never seen it before. I wrote whatever came to mind. The author must have taken a break.
