Dropped Stories

I really like the blurb and the character setup, but I haven't finished reading these. Archiving them here in case my tastes change someday and I decide to pick them back up.

Well-Written Stories with Top Protagonists

There are three things I won’t read: 1. Stories where the gong is absurdly perfect but the plot is simplistic and the dialogue childish. 2. Stories where a weak gong plays at being domineering, then ends up sobbing. 3. To be continued.

Absolutely Brilliant, Part 4

Highly rated stories, 9.7 and up. I'll read just about anything. Mostly stocking up for later, so I'll browse this list when I'm in a reading slump. Unread stories start at 4 stars, and free ones start at 5, though the ratings may change over time~

Personal List: Top-Dom Stories, Part 3

We love you, our swoony, cute, scene-stealing number one. A list for my own convenience. Attacking lead □ receiving lead / impure beast / beast-obsessed stink / receiving lead topping the attacking lead, keep away from me ^^

Angst for the Top, Unusual Tastes, and Pampered Tops

Everything on this list is something I’ve mostly finished or fully paid to unlock. I’m a dark, depraved stepmom with weird tastes: I read both stories where the gong gets put through the wringer and ones where he’s spoiled rotten. Entries marked [Record] may contain things some readers dislike. This list doesn’t cover extras.

A Little RE, Mostly Top POV

I can only guarantee that I really love all the tops in this list. This isn't a recommendation list, just a few thoughts after reading.

The Amazing Stories That Hit All My Kinks

I read both top and bottom POVs, and these are worth rereading. I prefer nonhuman characters, horror, cultivation, Western fantasy, and sci-fi, with strong couples, mutual devotion, and ensemble casts. Plot over romance

01 Seme-Centric

Top-led stories I've finished and haven't removed from my favorites. Since four stars on Jinjiang is already a low rating, most get five stars. My actual personal rating is in the description.

All Kinds of Adorable Tops

The top is always right, with a preference for top-focused stories and mutual devotion. I mainly ship couples. I read every dynamic, whether the top is dominant or submissive, and whether the character is presented as masculine or feminized.

Random Thoughts: Completed Male-Lead Romance, with a Few No-CP Stories

A dumb romance focused entirely on running a business. Love childhood-friend romances. I hate angst inflicted on the gong for no reason. Right now, I keep getting kicked away by gong fans and shou fans alike.

Seme-Leaning Books from the Zheng Ni All-in-One Machine

The gong is unquestionably the protagonist. The shou pampers the gong?? No pounding-machine gong or completely vanilla stories.

Top's POV: Personal Reading List and Notes

I love weak-top-strong-bottom dynamics, gorgeous tops, devoted-spouse tops, irresistible tops, puppy-like tops, adorable tops, and swoony tops. Just my personal reading log.

Top-Lead Recommendations and Content Warnings

I can’t find the spoiler-warning brigade anymore, so I’ll have to screen books myself. I don’t like submissive male leads. I like cute, cool, or beautiful male leads.

Top-Dom-leaning Romance and No-Romance Stories: Detailed List

Gong-focused stories (gong-led and shou-led), romance (male-oriented), and no-couple stories with male protagonists. The list above has my dealbreakers, and the comments have what I love.

Top-Only Stories

If it doesn’t make my heart flutter, I won’t read it. I love melodramatic twists, angsty push-and-pull, star-crossed lovers, and beautiful, tragic characters.

Romance, No Romance, and Top Leads

I’m into everyone-loves-him stories and BL, mainly from the gong’s perspective or focused on the gong. I occasionally enjoy couples who dote on each other, so feel free to pick and choose. This list is mostly for my own reference. The full stops mean the entries still need to be filled in. I’ll write more once I reach a hundred.

Top-Dom BL Collection 1

Good writing, good plot, or both

Level C

Seme-Focused Stories, Mostly Mature Romance

I tend to prefer stories where the gong is more dominant. Either a weaker or stronger shou is fine, but I don't like shou characters who are overly feminized or so bland they're like plain noodles boiled in water ()

Mutual Pampering, Leaning Toward the Top / Top-Centric Self-Recs

Stories with some appeal. The bottom line is a strongly devoted shou. Not a non-GK list; I only care about the writing, how the gong is portrayed, and how he's treated. Includes beautiful and handsome, strong and weak gongs and shous.

Top-Led, Mutual-Doting Stories for Protagonist Fans

I only just realized that a list's rating affects the ratings of completed books. Jinjiang, you are truly sinful. The ratings here reflect only my personal taste, not poor writing or bad plots.

A Reading Guide for Top Fans

A fan of awesome, strong bottoms and top-centric stories. Weak tops are fine too, and so is melodrama.
