My Fully Purchased Reading List (Not Recommendations)
Saving these here so I can find them easily. The VIP service sometimes makes books disappear. I haven't finished them, and the ratings are just rough estimates.

My 2026 Reading Log
Keeping track of the novels I've read in 2026. I love danmei and enjoy all kinds of stories. I'm not picky, and I have very few triggers.
Unforgettable Danmei Masterpieces
A handpicked collection of completed danmei novels, all works I think are worth rereading. I'm keeping this as a personal index for future rereads and sharing it with fellow fans.
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
A Little Romance
When I'm in the mood for romance, I read these. They're pretty much all pure sweetness. If one isn't, it must be exceptionally good to make the list.
The Finest
Childhood Friends, School Life, Straight Male Bottoms
Never mind, I’m bookmarking them all at once for now! I’ll read them all when I have time! Sometimes I really crave this kind of thing!
Couple Stories Where They Only Have Each Other
Couples so sweet I want to roll around on the bed and let out an evil laugh. I have a bit of a preference for young married couples.
I Am What I Love
I hope everything goes well for you. Please embrace happiness. (The platform won't let me give everything five stars. I'm done.)

I like these personally. Why can't I give them all five stars?
Stories I've Read More Than Five Times [2]
Includes danmei, romance, and no-romance stories. I only gave them four stars because JJ won't let me give five anymore. Any five-star ratings were given before. I'll keep updating.

Atmospheric Prose
BL and romance. These are just my personal impressions. All sorts of genres, but they all have rather distinctive writing styles.

The brain-computer interface was a success! Xiao Nan, can you finally see the light again? 🥺🥺🥺🥺
This is the first time I've read a work by author 39, and the first time I've witnessed such divine writing. I was deeply moved and couldn't shake the feeling after finishing it, so I'm writing some ramblings in the middle of the night... My biggest takeaway from reading this story is how heartwarming and real it feels.
I saw today that the Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded to the research project on how green algae cells can enable light perception in blind people. The first thing that came to mind was Xiaonan! 😭😭
I love this story so much! May both puppies grow up healthy and strong. 26.11.8
I watched it for the second time at school on November 5th, and I cried so much 😭😭😭 I hope Xiao Chi and Xiao Nan are both doing well!! 😭😭😭 I'm looking forward to the epilogue about regaining sight 😭😭😭
Looking forward to the day when Xiao Nan can truly see them! No more having to imagine Xiao Dong and Tang Ge's faces by touching them. Thinking about your growth brings tears not only to the older brothers 😭 The two children's journey to adulthood has been so difficult; may their future be peaceful and smooth. With today's advanced technology, may Xiao Nan recover soon! [Thumbs up]
Watching these two little ones grow up is so touching 🙏, it's the first time I've seen such a deep bond between them. I hope Huainan's eyes get better soon 🌈
I really love this book! I love this kind of coming-of-age and redemption story. It warmed my heart and made me feel a little sad. Although I feel sorry that Nan Nan can't see this, he also gained something precious that many people don't have because of it. I've reached the point where I want to cry every time I read this book.
The 2026 Nobel Prize in Medicine for optogenetics has enabled blind people to regain partial sight. Seriously awaiting the bonus episode about Nan Nan regaining her sight! 😣😣😣
I've been waiting for a side story! [Let me see it!][Let me see it!]
