Cultivation

Basically, Eastern cultivation, fantasy, and supernatural stories, including Primordial Era, Journey to the West, and Investiture of the Gods.

Level A

Great Reads (Mostly BL from the Bottom's Perspective)

Ignore the star ratings. Mostly esports, space opera, Western fantasy, post-apocalyptic, and infinite-flow stories, with the occasional xuanhuan or historical danmei. Updated whenever. See the comments for the rest.

Proud and Talented Bottoms/Female Protagonists (Mostly Large-Scale Worlds)

Quick transmigration, modern, and historical settings. I prefer expansive worlds, powerful and confident protagonists with an emperor-like attitude, popular protagonists, and strong female leads. No CP (male leads tend to be bottoms).

Full-Purchase Reads

Some might not be power couples. A few were just books I bought after staying up way too late, so this is pretty subjective x. Three stars = run. Check out my other reading list for more detailed reviews.

Bottom Protagonists, Strong Couples, Plot-Driven, Ensemble Casts

Extremely picky, with a preference for serious stories and mostly medium-to-long novels. I read all kinds of genres, but tend to favor loyal-dog x queen character dynamics. Tops and bottoms dote on each other. Long live pure love.

Worth Reading Again

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

Beautiful, Tragic, Battle-Worn, and Frail

Both tops and bottoms. I like them stronger the more unhinged they are.

Historical Danmei Xianxia

Some historical danmei and xianxia stories I like.

I'm Here for the Love Story!

So much passion and chemistry, ship lovers are in for a treat. Young married couples, marriage first and love later, coercive relationships, cool and aloof beauties with tragic fates... So good to ship, this is exactly my kind of thing

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

Ensemble-Cast Recommendations

Recommendations. I'll add whatever comes to mind. Includes derivative works, no-CP, BL, and BG, so browse with caution if any of that bothers you.

Bottoms Are So Adorable

Weak, pretty, adorable, crybaby, and universally adored shou: this list has it all. My taste is basic: I like pale, youthful, slim, silly, weepy shou, and the gong must be sexually inexperienced.

Dropped Reads Log

The top/male lead disrespects the bottom/female lead; the relationship is unequal in status or effort; the protagonist has too little agency; the pacing is slow; the main plot is unclear; the writing is awful...
