At heart, I love dark and angsty stories. Every now and then, my conscience gets the better of me and I read something lighter. I enjoy melodramatic stories where the love interest gets put through the wringer, especially ones with a strong plot that brings out their charm. I also read some brainless feel-good fluff. I have a few crossover novels here.
Reading Log *2
Still keeping track: a second big hodgepodge.
Full-Purchase Showcase
I read a bit of everything, but lean toward BG. Any book with a substantial review has been read in full. My taste is subjective. Dealbreakers: violent, coercive men; negative gender stereotypes; and golden fingers.
A Log of Vivid Visual Inspiration XD
Slowly building my personal stash: inspiration is flowing and I'm writing away. Interesting worldbuilding, character species, intense sexual tension, and immersive atmosphere. Writing reviews as I read.
Highly Recommended Fantasy Stories!
I'll happily read anything. A lighthearted, romantic life-as-a-game, virtual life, magical worlds, glorious legends...
One Day, I'll Read Them All Again
A rereading list for myself.
Personal Reading Notes
Mostly BL and all kinds of fanfiction. There may be things you hate but I love. No ship-breaking, reverse ships, or self-insert dreams.
Finished and Fully Purchased (For My Eyes Only)
I have eclectic tastes (anything but insect-themed stories; sometimes I only realize a book has bugs after buying it). I tend to prefer historical danmei. If the writing is decent, I usually give it three or four stars; five stars means it’s a personal favorite.
①. Rating = 5 [A] [Complete]
A personal reading list of some pretty good books, for rereading or catching up on updates. Six stars out of five.
Western Fantasy Stories
Traditional Western fantasy: magic and swords, light and darkness, heroes and dragons. It’s my favorite genre. Any pairing or orientation.
Good Reads I've Come Across Over the Years
Mostly uke-focused. Some were subscribed to so long ago that the subscriptions have expired, so they're in C tier. I'm a simple person who loves powerful, evenly matched protagonists and feel-good stories. Four or five stars all work for me. Jinjiang won't let me give everything five stars.
A Big Reading List for Easy Recommendations
I thought these were all pretty good. I was too lazy to write reviews for some of them, so never mind.
Some Bottom-Perspective Stories
I have a soft spot for wish-fulfillment stories, and ones where the leads succeed in both their careers and their love lives (?)
On a Mission, Subby Edition
Mostly stories with a bottom-focused gong and doting seme. Most aren't dark; even the dark ones just involve spicy talk about the bottom's body.
Top-Tier Danmei: Bottom-Protagonist Stories
The author has a nice writing style! The male-bottom protagonist has plenty of personality, too! I’m a simple reader: I just love gorgeous male bottoms!

Remarks on the full order: The early Crow Crow did not know how to write a car (sad)
It's okay, I will figure it out later, the eight of them live happily together!!!
After I read it, I felt that the first six supporting characters were written to clarify the meaning of love. For example, the dark wizard felt that Zongya who was smiling in the outside world was happier than Zongya who only told him stories. Cyril knew that Zong Mi didn't like him and chose to let go. As for the emperor, that was no longer normal love. It was the kind of warm persistence that finally brought him after the tragic experience he went through. They were a little helpless at first, because they originally liked the protagonist because of the curse, but after the protagonist took back the curse, they still liked the protagonist. It's also a little heartbreaking because there is no one-to-one love, only the main palace has it. Then I felt that the protagonist was a scumbag, but after thinking about it carefully, except for those scenes that never happened in the future, the protagonist's interactions with everyone were frank. By writing the supporting characters to die for him one by one, the protagonist felt a huge debt in his heart. This should be the author's intention to express that love is a one-sided silent contribution, and this will happen if the person being loved does not respond. Later, the protagonist used the godhead he finally got back in exchange for the resurrection of all the dead people who came to the continent, which can be regarded as making up for the shortcoming. But this makes me think it's a big mistake. I fell in love with the protagonist because of the curse. Even if the curse is removed, I still like the protagonist. Maybe the protagonist is so likable, but in the end it can only be 1v1? That's unfair to the other six supporting characters.
Ah, that's an interesting story A complex and huge world turns out to be a flow of emotions, just for falling in love Single arrow heartthrob all died for love As a result, he paid it back in the end. It's also very powerful But it's really interesting
Supplementary Comment[Comparison] Lord Shou/Western Fantasy Religion/Can Eat 1vN/Sexual Tension Science 1. The atmosphere is very strong. The protagonist is the god of love but does not understand love. The NPCs who want and get what they want have their own characteristics. The sexual tension is very strong. Although there is a main palace, they can also be naughty (violent remarks). 2. Descriptions of the interaction between several NPCs and the protagonist, or the stories they had with the protagonist in the past (there are some, but not many, suitable for association), and their reunion now (unrequited/black edge, good product). 3. Scenes in which the protagonist's precognitive ability can see the "future line", including detailed shot composition, and darkened parts such as being in a dark room and being sacrificed. Borrowing comments: It's like a brief exchange with myself on another website (confident) 4. The process of each NPC dying for the protagonist in the later period is also very easy to draw (it is just too cruel). The original text: "In the depths of the Kesh Sea, in the unattended hut in the middle of the Black Forest, in the center of the Dawn Temple, burning souls, silently watching under the Tree of Life, in the yellow sand on the border, just outside the door of the Kingdom of God. Long ago, someone carried a gun for him to enter the Kingdom of the Gods, and he is still addicted to the endless dark abyss." Other points There are still some regrets in the plot. The presence of the main CP is relatively low, which is the overall situation and a reasonable choice, but the x tension is not as good as others (the black wizard is still getting a kiss and pointing). Before the end, there are only memories between the main CP that the protagonist no longer remembers, and the future that is waiting to be filled after the ending. There is almost no interaction and story in the middle, which is very background. In the last few chapters, you die quickly and resurrect even faster. It feels like you are following a program qaq The God of Love experienced losing his divinity, rebuilding his divinity, and finally giving up his divinity and becoming an ordinary person, which made people unhappy. 😭 But xp is very good!
No matter what, I just feel np in my heart.
I cried with tears. In my opinion, losing memory is the most terrifying thing.
I read the ending first and found that it seemed to be a sad story.
To be honest, before I saw the ending, I always thought it was similar to Slicing. After all, the protagonist only has a sense of the future for the seven of them. But until I watched the ending, and even looked at the comment area, it seemed that Slicing didn't mean 🍉 🍉 🍉. Personally, I think it would be better if they were sliced. When I watched it, I didn't feel that some of them were much worse than the main attack. The wizard also got a kiss. I felt that the protagonist had no feelings for them. Moreover, if there were no slices, the main attack scenes would be pitiful. There is definitely a CP feeling, but it is not very strong. Mainly because there are seven, and they all have a role. On average, the main attack is really nothing, especially in the front, you can't see the appearance [Glasses] [Glasses] [Glasses]
I really feel sorry for the remaining people, especially the dark wizard, siren and king
