Good writing comes first! Great writing can make up for anything! I like dominant, powerful tops and bottoms with personality. I don't like bottoms who pretend to be aloof while secretly crushing on someone.
Strong Top, Strong in Bed, Mutual Devotion, Two Powerful Leads, Healing, and Lighthearted
Sweet, satisfying romances for ship fans, with a strong POV character who's in control, never passive. Most feature two equally powerful leads, mutual love and pampering, devotion to one's partner, or a white-knight-style redemption arc where one partner protects and helps rebuild the other. All highly satisfying.
Multiple Dominant Male Leads, Balanced Pairing Preferences, Personal Taste
A mix of popular and underrated picks. I’m not into weak gong with a strong shou, or heartthrob characters. I’m firmly committed to 1v1 romances. If a book is well written, I’ll take that back. I’ve put some no-couple stories here too.
Seme-Focused Story Recommendations
After sorting these out, I realized my tastes seem to lean toward gentle but aloof tops, with strong command of the situation and just a touch of dom. They seem integrated, but are really detached from the world
Favorite Protagonist-Pursues-Romance Stories
A collection of stories with memorable characters and plots that I really enjoyed. Put together from memory. No groveling exes, no female-lead-everyone-loves (in my opinion). I like light, cute reads.
For Personal Use: Sweet Stories With a Top Who Dotes on His Bottom
A fan of mutual pining. My preferences: handsome or gorgeous, powerful, indulgent semes paired with sweet, adorable shous; older, patriarchal, old-fashioned types. I reject all harem love triangles, whether the protagonist is a crowd favorite or the story involves abuse of the seme or shou.
Male-Male Romance (Complete)
Sweet.
My Delicious Top-Focused Picks
I only love 1v1 couples who dote on each other! I prefer sweet little romances! No genderbending, dog-training, or everyone-loves-the-lead tropes!
Top-Focused
I'm doomed. I've caught the main-character-as-top bug. I made this list to keep track of main-character-as-top stories I personally think are pretty good. Sorry if they aren't to your taste.
Strong Seme Leads and Mutual Devotion
A fan of old-school, patriarchal tastes and top-perspective stories. Mutual devotion, with strong, compelling tops. I’m character-focused and mainly recommend plot-driven stories with two equally powerful leads and plenty of catharsis.
Great Reads, Mostly Male Leads, With Some Male Receivers and Switches
Whether the protagonist is the pursuer or the one being pursued is just a matter of perspective to me. I can't stand universally adored protagonists, regret-and-redemption arcs, love rivals competing for the same person, one-sided crushes, or weak protagonists who are bad in bed. Otherwise, I read all kinds of things and have all sorts of kinks (emphasis).
Fantasy and Supernatural ②
A collection of fantasy and supernatural danmei novels I've read
Unforgettable Reads (A Mixed Bag)
A mixed bag of original works, fanfiction, romance, BL, and no-CP stories. Personal tastes; the star ratings just reflect how much I like them. I read widely but am picky, and can overlook certain things (list still being updated)
All Purchased (Urban Supernatural Fiction)
For my own reference, to check which ones I've fully purchased.
Original Stories (Mostly Seme POV)
An original-fiction buffet, currently serving only danmei. We all have different tastes, so check the descriptions and comments to avoid anything you dislike.
Pretty Good Stories
I read all kinds of things, but I prefer balanced stories and especially enjoy the romance. Updating regularly.
A New Top-Protagonist Fan's Journey Through BL Novels
I'm more of a gong fan, and I like gongs who are doted on, especially gloomy bottoms who pursue the gong. Due to the rating system, I actually like everything rated three stars and up! I only read completed stories, and I have a lot to say.
Reading List for Pure-Love Warriors
Completed and fully purchased. My rating priorities: characters > plot > writing > worldbuilding. I assume both leads are virgins unless stated otherwise, and I'm a protagonist fan. Low ratings come with warnings.
Original Fiction, Top-Led and Switch, Completed 2
Lately, I've been enjoying watching couples get all cuddly between plot points
Five-Star Completed Books
BL, happy endings, both leads' first relationship. Ship-focused, protagonist-focused, and angst-focused. Not ranked, all five stars.
My Personal Re-Reads (Danmei, No Romance)
Personally reread many times. Please check for potential issues yourself. Updated slowly and irregularly.
BL Stories I’ve Loved Over the Years
Stories I’ve really, really loved over the years
Fully Completed Series
I'm an omnivore with no particular preferences. I can't handle awkward writing or really over-the-top melodrama. My priorities are writing > characterization ≥ plot. Feel free to recommend books in the comments.

I love this article so much! ! !

Ending Spreading Flowers 🎉, I didn't expect it to be such a story, but everything happened so naturally. It's a peaceful and happy ending
I like this article very much. Sometimes I feel that the difference between a big author and a small one is probably here. With this kind of writing power that can be firmly supported without fear, every foreshadowing and knotty will be recycled, and the poisonous points will become refreshing points.
A particularly good group portrait article, and the love and friendship are portrayed very well. I am particularly afraid of the kind of article where every emotion is closer to love, but this article has it just right. Apart from the protagonists, only Huan Zixu and Huan Zixu have a relatively clear love.
Three swipes to finish spreading flowers! 26.9.16
Rereading, I particularly like the emotional line and plot line of this article... The balance between seriousness and lightness is also very good, and it looks really comfortable... The main characters have their own characteristics and are all likeable. It is really great to be able to save the world together and return to the warm and ordinary life...
What a lovely rule. [Orange Candy] I got it
Ahhhhhhhhhhh, I still like it very much.
Thank you to heaven, thank you to earth, thank you for your hard work~
