A collection of sickly bottoms. This is highly subjective: I’m a total bottom enthusiast, so you know what I like.
BL Favorites to Keep: Pretty Good or Better
My tastes are unusual, my tolerance for melodrama, satisfying moments, and dealbreakers is all over the place (read at your own risk). I'm leaving out the biggest hits.
Modern BL with a Sickly Bottom
Just as the title says. I don’t have any strong preferences about character dynamics; I like stories that are more slice-of-life. Updated irregularly. Feel free to add recommendations in the comments
Looking for Something to Read
Looking for something good to read.
Fans of Beautiful, Strong, Tragic, Sickly Characters, Come On In!!
Sickly, beautiful, strong, and tragic: absolutely divine!
For My Own Reading: Older Top Stories
I'm a fan of older tops and younger bottoms, especially older women. I prefer 1v1 or relationships that are 1v1 for a time. I can't stand the bottom topping, a nurse-type protector, or a weak top. This list is ongoing, so I'll add anything I like
Cute, Sickly Bottoms to Savor
Hehe, I wanted to make one too. I have a soft spot for older tops, so most of the recommendations feature them. I’ll keep adding more, and whenever I find something I like, I’ll recommend it here *^_^*
Interested In
Stories that interest me, to read when I'm out of books (I'll note my progress). [Some are quite literary.]
Dog-Blood Drama, Mostly from the Bottom’s Perspective: Life Needs Drama
I personally define a shou-focused story as one where, early on, the gong is more obviously into the shou. I'm not picky about dealbreakers, so this list isn't for sk readers. It's for fellow angst-loving shou-focused readers like me. Check for your own dealbreakers.
A Picky Reader’s Reading Notes
I happily consume every genre, era, and orientation. Everything here is subjective, with nothing objective about it. Angst and pure love soar together, while love-brains and career-minded characters dance side by side.
Highly Recommend These Romance-Focused Stories!!!
Deep feelings, few words, everyday romance. Pure satisfaction.
Sickly Leads and Rekindled Love
Saved for myself. I have set preferences and can't stand bad writing or plot holes. I prefer equally matched couples.
Amazing Stories Worth Buying in Full
BL, with little to no “wife” elements. Mostly feel-good wish fulfillment or powerful couples, decent writing, and something special, whether it's the premise, plot, or genre.
Sickly Bottoms: Only Well-Written Stories I Could Stick With
Broadly speaking, this includes frail characters, like those who die and are reborn, or nearly die and become the object of everyone’s concern, though most are genuinely ill.
Sickly Bottoms
Stories I love reading.
Sickly, Depressed Bottoms
My favorite kind of character is a sickly one. More mentally ill bottoms and depressed bottoms, please! I love stories that depict a depressed, sickly bottom throughout.
Short Stories Saved for Later
Mostly short stories I've found here and there. A lot may be free. If I finish one and like it, I'll add it here.
Books I’ve Finished
I've piled everything here. These are purely subjective opinions. I haven't read an entire novel in ages, and I read many of these from a middle- or high-schooler's perspective.
My Four- and Five-Star Favorites
BL, to my personal taste.
