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.

All-in on gong, except for rotten leg roots and little seductive frogs.

[Top] Love a Top Who Likes to Train His Bottoms
I love dominant, compelling protagonists and strong plots: powerful, beautiful, tragic gong, universally adored gong, commanding gong, and scumbag gong. No weak gong. I like discipline and training, but can't stand soft or weak shou.
Villain Protagonists
The villainous protagonist never seeks redemption. He is decisive and ruthless, with a classic Qidian-style power fantasy full of satisfying payback. The original protagonist isn't vilified; it's the kind of story where the good and evil keep one-upping each other. Plenty of stories where the protagonist is a genuine villain.
If I Finished It, It Must Be Good!
I fully subscribe to almost everything here. I often abandon stories halfway through, so finishing these is no small feat. Most of them should really get five stars, but that's no longer allowed.
I Guess These Are Mutual Pampering Stories
At heart, I’m a shipper. I like cute but not weak bottoms, and I love melodrama. I want the bottom to fall in love and confess first, with the top reciprocating quickly. The bottom can’t be weak. Don’t blindly dive in unless we share the same tastes.
Books with Adored Top Leads
I favor the gong. Mostly stories with a powerful, charismatic gong, though there are a few with a weaker gong too. I like plot-driven stories. I'll keep updating.
A Lifetime of Giving Up on Tragic Love
Tags: gong-centered, gong fan, pure love, mutual affection, gong-focused, melodrama.
Top-Leaning (For Rereading)
My own seme-leaning take. The criteria depend on the protagonist's characterization. Personally, I prefer character assassination to turning them into a girl, but I'm fine with either.
Great Top-Pairing Stories
Gong’s perspective, mostly. It’s so satisfying to be a protagonist fan.
Alternate Universe
Includes otherworldly settings, Western fantasy, mythology, and more
Strong Seme Protagonists I Adore
I like gong characters who are ambitious and focused on their careers. My preferences: intelligent characters with sound reasoning, and expansive worldbuilding that doesn't read like a textbook. If anyone shares my taste, please leave me a message with recommendations. Pretty please!
Western Fantasy Stories
Traditional Western fantasy: magic and swords, light and darkness, heroes and dragons. It’s my favorite genre. Any pairing or orientation.
Top-Centric, Top Worship, Top Protagonists
Top-focused stories for fans who love the top, but I'm not too intense about it. The couples are endgame. The top isn't excessively self-sacrificing, the bottom doesn't betray him, the top gets plenty of standout moments and takes the lead, and the bottom is loyal and devoted.
A Reading List for Omnivorous Readers
A bit of everything, but these are my favorites. I'm a fan of sweet romance
Personal Reading Sweep of Top-Protagonist Novels
I lean toward stories that make the top look great. I read broadly, but no K. No content warnings.
Western Fandom and Fantasy (Rated by How Many Times I've Read It)
Books with a touch of Western flavor that I bought and finished
Worth Reading
Ones I like and revisit over and over.
More Disciplined, Strong Seme
If you know any stories with a noble young master gong, tell me where to find them. I have high standards for the writing.
Recommended Top Stories
These are all stories I read in the past and enjoyed. It's been so long since I finished them that I won't give detailed reviews. For the record, I don't have many dealbreakers. If you're not extremely particular about tops, you should be fine giving them a try.
Records
Keeping track of books I like. They need good writing and pacing. No pandering, no amateurish prose, no idiocy.

I stayed up late to read this book. It is undeniable that the background with a huge magical world framework and the flexible and distinctive characters support the structure of the entire story. The amazing thing is that it doesn't read obscurely. Because the author uses the perspective of the protagonist Sheehan as the book traveler to show this picture in front of you bit by bit and quietly, just like a drop of water flowing into the sea, it is logical and natural. The protagonist Sheen is a character that I admire immensely. Even with a bad hand at the beginning, his meticulous, careful planning and thoughts helped him plan to leave and get a new life. He doesn't know magic (and there is no sign of being able to use magic so far, which is a no-brainer in the Western fantasy world that advocates magic and nobility). He is just the most ordinary person. His strategies, methods, and words as sweet as hidden poison make his whole person shine. What's more, his research and talent in alchemy are unparalleled. Like an unfortunate talent. At the beginning of the novel, he just wants to live, but no one gives him a chance to live. At the last moment when he was tortured and bloodletted and dying, he clung to the last straw: he made a contract with the gods and won himself a precious rebirth. It was precisely because of the contract that he changed his appearance and received gifts from the former god. As a deal, he needed to help assassinate the God of Light, the most respected god in the world. Since then, he has embarked on a new and completely different path. This road was dangerous and rugged, and he had never been on it before, but he took it calmly, fearless of wind and rain. He does not believe in God and only looks at it from a trader's perspective, but he takes the initiative to fulfill this part of his responsibilities. Facts have also proved that he did a good job. The first part mainly focused on the academy, and the biggest game Sheen participated in was to accept the olive branch from the ambitious second prince, join the Falcon Order, and become its attendant. Let's talk about the first one first, Falcon Club. The description of the original book is, "The best resource in the academy, the Falcon Club, which was founded by the first principal of the Imperial Academy of Magic, only recruits three members a year. To exaggerate, as long as you can join the Falcon Club, your future will not deviate from the core of the politics of the Saint Via Empire." The members recruited by the Falcon Society are all nobles, and the second prince, as the current president of the Falcon Society, made an exception and invited Sheen—a commoner who, in the eyes of outsiders, was slightly valued in alchemy. Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the middle game. Following the trend, Sheen continued to increase his bargaining chips, including offering his loyalty to the second prince and temporarily replacing the second prince's former attendant. Becoming a servant of the prince is a supreme honor for a commoner. In this magical world, there is a huge gap between classes. Possessing magic and entering the academy are just a bargaining chip to make a class jump and become a member of the nobility. For a commoner, serving as an attendant next to the second prince was no less than having half a foot in that strict and hierarchical circle, attracting a lot of attention. As mentioned earlier, the second prince is a "careerist". It is undeniable that he is a smart careerist. He is a genius, has great talent, and is willing to work hard and make progress, but he lacks a bit of luck. Unfortunately, his mother, the current Queen, does not favor him. She would rather cling to the mediocre eldest prince's position as crown prince than let other children have more thoughts about this supreme position. This is so unfair to the second prince. He was unwilling to give in, but he put away his claws, obediently and harmlessly, dormant and forbearing. Until I met Sean. There was a lot of interaction between the two of them, and it was really annoying to talk about each other. People have always enjoyed studying together because it is "special". In your heart, I am a special existence and I deserve special treatment. There's no denying that we all love this unique treasure. Regarding the second prince Mars and Sheen, due to their different status but similar personalities and ways of thinking, the two gradually established a tacit understanding and trust. The former became a tolerant and wise master worth following, while the latter dutifully played the role of a talented, capable and loyal servant. That's the best. What's more, Sheen approached Mars with purpose. But Mars is a human being. He accepted Sheen's loyalty and gave up his affirmation and trust to Sheen, but he also unconsciously gave up his emotions and showed a preference for him that was different from other people. For example, even though her stupid brother made a huge mistake, the Queen suppressed the incident and dealt with the aftermath, and gave the lead investigator - who was him - a month of solitary confinement. When he got drunk because his mother favored his brother, Sheen looked for help from outside to speed up the end of the confinement. At the same time, he secretly entered the palace to see him, gave him advice, and gave him comfort and confidence. Not to mention that he misunderstood Sheen who was disguised as a woman and wanted to get close to "her" while drunk. This comfort gave Mars endless psychological energy. He longs to be loved. Mars is both powerful and fragile. Sheen filled that fragile part of him, and because Sheen was so outstanding and capable, and so compatible with him, he unconsciously had other feelings for Sheen. (I can't write it down for now, I'll make up for it later)
Don't be discouraged, good articles will still be read by people even ten years from now
Why are good articles like this not popular? I can't read many of the articles on the list.
Super good-looking~ All the members have online IQs, and the emotional lines are also very fragrant, without redundant writing. Personal summary with spoiler warning The first story line Younger brother line (family line): After explaining part of the past and killing Mary, the younger brother decided to do a good job and inherit the title. The suspicious butler and mysterious biological mother are waiting for the follow-up (mother's ability, butler's position and motivation) Prince line: After killing the first heir, the prince, the following is a contest with the general princess and the reserve prince of the saint son; the prince has just begun to have a love affair and is ready to confess his love. Mao Mao Line: Tsundere doesn't want to admit it, it's the prince line's emotions that drive the cat line; the follow-up career advancement will have to wait for the war to establish faith. War Line: The Orcs awaken and prepare to attack the Empire. It is expected that the prince will use it to establish power in the army to compete with the princess. Sheen found every opportunity to build Maomao's faith, and his younger brother shines.
This is too pretty. Such a collection. I belong to JJ and I don't deserve it anymore
After finishing the first part, I still stand by Maomao and will start watching the second part.
It's quite interesting. The protagonist of this kind of article should be the dominant one to be more attractive.
To be honest, this novel is really well written.
Could this be a part-time job?
It's really well written, but it's a pity that not many people read it.
