Great Protagonist-Top Stories

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.

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).

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.
