Keeping track of what I've read (personal taste / I forget some books as soon as I finish them, so those entries are pretty bare-bones / couldn't let go, so I started a new list
GL from the Female Lead's Perspective: Battle-Worn, Frail, Beautiful and Tragic 2
A second batch of yuri stories I’ve read, with a female protagonist (important note): sickly, battle-worn, or otherwise beautiful yet tragic. Stories with more plot are in list 1.
Love~
My own little kitchen of favorites, all things I love to eat! Stories I reread over and over! If we happen to like the same ones, so what? Why aren't some of these five stars? Because Jinjiang won't let me.
Yuri GL: Wounded and Frail
Injured/fragile/plot-focused plus romance/disability. One-on-one pairing.
Heartwarming Reads to Save for Later
Stories that crossed your path over the years. Hope to meet again among your winter reading stash.
My Favorite GL Stories?
Slowly sorting through the 900-plus danmei novels in my favorites. I hate that I never organized them years ago. I'll start with the ones I personally liked best.
Delicious!
Mostly switches or top-focused
Yuri, Yuri, Yuri
A few.
Thanks to These Authors for the Yuri Gems
This is what our yuri section should look like! The more, the better. (The four-star ratings were given through tears and under duress.) A great author really matters to an avid reader like me. Every unfinished book stays on my mind like an unresolved issue.

I watched it all day long and all night long. I felt so sorry for little bitter melon Pei Ji! Fortunately, she had her kitten. Her kitten was shining on her and warming her like the sun. It was so nice. Even if I don't have a harmonious relationship with my parents, I still can't understand why Pei Ji's mother has so much malice towards her. She is obviously so good. Maybe there is something to tell from Pei Yi's perspective in the extra episode, but my ill will toward Pei Yi is no less than her mother's toward Pei Ji, so I didn't watch it. The separation between Pei and Song really annoyed me, so much so that I kept clicking on the author's column to confirm repeatedly that this book was really HE. Finally, is there any good radio drama production team to check out our "Reaching for the Stars"! I really want to listen to Pei Ji's "Are You My Kitten" and Song Ye's "I'm Still Not Your Kitten". I can't imagine how I would cry.
After reading the description of the biological parents, I feel even more regretful. The mother in the Kochi family is beautiful, the father is handsome, the husband and wife are harmonious and have harmonious personalities. I don't dare to think about it. What a happy family it would be without any accidents. What a happy child it would be for two little bitter gourds to grow up with their biological parents. The professor will not be left out because of being special. Her parents will definitely guide her patiently to tolerate her emotional "slower". Pei Yi can get the unconditional love of her parents without having to be careful to please. Well, it is true that life is full of hatred.
The author's plot design is right, especially the second half, which is more realistic. When Xiao'e lost her sight, she let go of her ties. Love can be everything; there aren't too many constraints. When she regains her sight, she is no longer entirely her own, and she has to think more. She is a star, and she has to take into account the expectations of fans; she is a partner or even a boss, and she has to consider the interests of her agent and even team members; she is also a talented creator, and she also has the desire and ambition to conquer Vanity Fair; and so on. Her world has become bigger, with more ties, and less of it belongs to her. The story is not just the decision of two people in love. The world is so difficult and people are in the world, they can't help themselves.
I really like this couple. The professor brought Xiao'er out of the darkness, and Xiao'er also gave the professor the affection and love he never got. This sister Pei Yi is really pitiful and hateful. I can only say that she has a bad fate.
It's so fast in the back, but still very cute
I feel sorry for the professor... T_T The professor and her kitten will always be happy!
Finished three times, I like this book very much [Spread Hands] The Professor and the Kitten will be happy forever [Red Heart]
A very favorite work. When I first read it, I was still imagining that it would be a radio drama; when I read it, I found that the different levels of delicate atmosphere between the pair conveyed by the text was too difficult to process non-visually; now, when I read it n+n, I just feel that the author has always been very meticulous in observing the emotions between people, and has a very detailed understanding of the emotions between people. The description of the atmosphere in this relationship is a masterpiece. When reading the text, you can easily get the sense of the picture, and you can even feel the air flow in the picture depicted by the text. However, if you think about it, it is difficult to completely convey what the author has painted with large words, regardless of visual or auditory presentation. The author greatly used a work to make me deeply feel the irreplaceability of words. I really want to read other new works by the author again.
Nice to meet you, Pei Ji and Song Ye.
Very nice. The author's writing is always nice.
