Tortured Male Leads
I read both BG and BL, and I have a soft spot for stories where the man gets hurt. I can’t stand coercive scenes that disrespect the female lead.
Male Suffering Collection
The male lead's inner thoughts are wonderfully nuanced, and the female lead has the upper hand in the relationship.
Romance Novels for Female-Lead Fans
There is a romance. The male lead is devoted and emotionally subordinate, and the female lead has at least some feelings for him too. None of those crazy guys who make the female lead miserable by treating her like a prop.
① Re-Reads for Female-Lead Fans and Those Who Prefer Chaste Male Leads
BG romances beloved by prose aficionados. The man falls first, and I favor devoted, puppy-like male leads. I'm fine with pampered-wife tropes, but the female lead must have the upper hand in the relationship
Male Leads Get Put Through the Wringer (Some Have Minor Flaws)
The male leads are almost always virgins, and none of them successfully win back the heroine after losing her! The heroines are generally not the sweet, kind, and beautiful type. (I'll update this when I find a good story where the man gets put through the wringer.)
Female-Lead-Centric
Stories I have read and thought were decent, suitable for readers who prefer female protagonists.
Angsty Yet Satisfying: Male Leads Get Tortured (Modern)
/
Fully Read: Three- and Four-Star Edition
There are also two-star and one-star books, actually.
For Fans of Female Protagonists
These are my top picks! As for why I like them, they are primarily relationship-focused. They all have upright values and are exciting and fun to read.
For Readers Who Prefer Chaste Romance
Romance. I’m all about the female lead, but I love melodramatic stories about the white moonlight and getting back together after a breakup. If he’s looking for a replacement, he doesn’t deserve to be the male lead. Let the second male lead rise up!
Stories That Torture the Male Lead, All Male Leads Are Virgins
The female lead suffers, or she suffers first and the male lead gets it twice as bad afterward.
Tanaka's Good Reads
Made especially for Tingting
Run 1
For my own use, to avoid landmines. No yuri with female leads. Some straight romance is included because I've run out of author-block slots, so I threw all those books in here. I blocked XWJ, so I didn't add them.
Modern-Day
Workplace / School
Male-Lead Obsession Hell
If you ask me, there is no truly male-angst literature in this world. Either it's a complete scam that torments the heroine for a hundred chapters and the hero for two or three, or the heroine simply has a bad family background.
Romance with a Temporary Stay Setup
Includes scenes of someone staying at another person's home, though some stories only mention it in passing.
Flying the BG/GB Loyal-Dog Banner High!
I enjoy both loyal heroines and loyal heroes, but I’m no good at writing reviews. Read the blurb and see what you think. I especially like tough guys and men of few words.
Villainess Protagonists
Some aren’t really villains, just flawed in personality. I love all the heroines, but I’m not interested in the male leads. Most of the male leads suffer and are virgins. I’ll note it if they aren’t.
Male-Tormenting Stories
All the male leads are virgins. I can’t promise the female leads won’t suffer, but there’s definitely more angst for the men. Read at your own risk if you have strong dislikes or squicks.
Weird and Random, Not All to My Taste
The male leads behave virtuously (one exception is marked), though there may be minor flaws in other areas. They have their charms, and I can accept them. Some may feature mutual pining.
My Favorite BG Novels

Hard to Put Into Words

If You Know the Value of Having Just One

I saw a reader friend downstairs saying that he didn't feel that Lu Lu fell in love with A Ye. In fact, no, it is love, and I have always loved it. Let's just say that the main content of the article is about Shi Lu's revenge on Xu Suye, but how can there be hatred if there is no love. At the beginning of junior high school, I may have just wanted to control Ano, but after four years of getting along with him, I'm sure he has moved on. Besides, the time they actually broke up in college was also when Lu Lu's condition worsened, so she probably had the idea of revenge. And later on, Lu Lu also felt guilty for A Ye risking his own life to keep her, thinking that he was the one who made A Ye become worse and worse step by step. But isn't it just what she wants to make Ano feel bad? But she also said that this was not what she wanted when she came back from being fucked by A Ye for the last time. Every time Lu Lu goes to the temple, she writes on the wishing tape - "May the place be safe and happy." There is also Lu Lu who is cold-blooded, but she gave all her only love to A Ye, and treated A Ye and took medicine to get better. I remember Taotao also said that both of them are sick and pitiful. Looking at the former, one cannot look at their love with ordinary people's love. They are each other's light and each other's salvation, which is a two-way street. The above is my own opinion only, friends with different opinions are welcome. Taotao will also come and correct me if I understand or say something wrong (to put it simply, Taotao comes to challenge me!!) (As for why I reopened the first floor, it is because I am afraid that the poster will mind that I welcome different opinions, which is a bit anti-customer, for fear of offending her, and she also wants to criticize me. Hehe) I really like looking up, I like Aye, I like Lulu, and I like Taotao's wife. Looking Up is also one of my top 2 books
I actually felt a little emotional after reading it. . . The love of two psychopaths
Finally finished reading. I'm convinced. They tortured both women and men, which made my stomach hurt. The two tortured each other. Zisha came and went every day, and the people who loved each other tortured each other. I thought it was just a cool article about torturing men, but I ended up being deceived into making a full reservation. I hate you, the author, and I will read your next male abuse novel. Let's torture each other. Is it okay if the heroine gives that bit of indifference to her parents and abuses her birth parents?
What I focused on was so strange... The first thing I noticed was that Ono gave Lu Lu a mouth? Then the green legs are rubbed red, it's the legs/it's sex ()
Can you please read a few more books about torturing men? Woohoo. This writing style and content are too difficult for me. There is no meal replacement in the whole network. I just feel so sorry for the heroine.
I'm still a little concerned about the second time Xu monitored Shi Lu's cell phone. The main reason is that Shi Lu didn't notice it, and didn't mention whether Xu continued to monitor or "returned to evil" hahaha. Nothing happened after that, and he didn't have any consequences. Although Xu's approach is understandable, Shi Lu doesn't like it after all, and monitoring is a matter of principle, so it's not a small matter. I still feel a little uncomfortable that the second surveillance incident did not have a follow-up and ended well (*?????). I always feel that something has not been dealt with. This is not to say that Xu is not good, but it is purely for this incident. After all, it is a recurrence. More or less, he is found and bears the price, or he is not found and stops continuing, or he is not found and he continues. I always feel that there should be a result or something like a follow-up, but there is no, it is a bit...?~?
Until the end, I didn't feel that the heroine fell in love with the hero
I also think that you are actually a perfect match. If there is anything wrong with you, who else can be more suitable for you besides you two.
I hope they will be safe and happy in the future. Thank you for your hard work, Taotao. I love you.
I really like how the author described the male protagonist's character in such detail and with a sense of empathy.
