I was hooked on all of these and couldn't stop reading. The heroines are all incredibly charismatic, and the plots are excellent too.

For Personal Use
Trying hard to make fanworks... (hopefully in this lifetime).
Recent Reads I've Enjoyed
Mostly BG, with a tiny handful of BL, which I almost never read. There's also girl-focused content, strong heroines, and all sorts of other things. I'm not picky.

Good reads I'd recommend
Bittersweet and Angsty Reads
Not necessarily about scumbag men and awful women. Most are tragic couples who are deeply in love but mercilessly toyed with by fate.
Historical Romance with Female Leads
Completed, reborn, and transmigrate stories
Absolute Gems
Worth revisiting again and again.

All kinds of genres
Angsty Heterosexual Romance
Just a personal list for when I'm bored. Stories where everyone suffers, or where the men suffer badly, are all five stars in my book. I'm speechless at how restrictive Jinjiang's rating system is.

Just so you know, the list owner is a hardcore fan of beautiful, strong, tragic characters and enjoys all sorts of things. Some reviews may contain spoilers, sorry TvT... Please browse carefully and check for content warnings yourself.
So Good, So Good, So Good
Only romance and no-CP stories, with good writing and good plots. The values are generally sound (in my opinion). There's a mix of niche picks and popular hits, and plenty of variety. You won't regret reading them.
Gui Shanyu
These are good.
Old-School Angsty Tragedy
A little angst, heavy angst, unrequited love, wanting someone you cannot have, pain literature. I love you. Why don't you love me? Add some deliciously painful substitute romance, too.
Xianxia
I like seeing the male lead suffer, strong leads on both sides, and fresh plots

Why are the two little bitter gourds so miserable from beginning to end [crying] [crying] [crying] and they haven't even said goodbye properly! Shatang and Wen Yuhuai both had dark childhoods. They were never firmly chosen by anyone, and no one cared about them. But when two broken hearts meet and move towards each other firmly in sympathy and redemption, and the vigorous love cannot be controlled even by the Xuannv Curse, the heart that has been silent for a long time starts to beat again, and everything takes on a vivid color. Shatang was born with the mark of Yinghuo's destiny, which would bring discord and harm to those around him. Wen Yuhuai carries a dark thunder mirror, which will only bring misfortune to himself. The two unfortunate people are attracted to each other and get closer to each other, as if they are a little closer to happiness. Shatang learned to be himself, yearned for freedom, became brave, and began to think about himself, and would have angry, wronged and evil thoughts. In the end, facing the charming Yinghuo Star, what Sha Tang thought in his heart was, give him back to me. Wen Yuhuai once thought that if someone took him away, he could do anything from now on, and he could give everything he had. He had thought no one would. Later, he finally waited for the person who was willing to take him away, it was Shatang. So he was willing to trade his life, even with the freedom he had been searching for. My wife, Zhu Tang, is free and unfettered. It's a pity that no one saw the sincere wishes in the wish paper on that ancient tree, and they disappeared between heaven and earth. Even if twenty years have passed, even if we haven't spoken a word since we met again, even if the depths of the Demonic Sea are dark and cold, my heart will still beat for Shatang. One day in parallel time and space, Sha Tang may return to the Demon Sea again, and the people who have been silent in the deepest part of the Demon Sea may wake up again and recognize each other in the sound of heartbeats that cannot be ignored. It was as if I had watched the lives of two people from God's perspective. There were no fierce quarrels or unnecessary misunderstandings. They were just people who were thinking about each other and passed each other in the end. They had a brief but beautiful time, where they could watch the sunset on the sea for an hour from the stern of the boat, wander around the countryside, cliffs and towns, watch lantern festivals and fireworks together in the busy city, and make sincere wishes under the ancient trees. It's a pity that everything is fleeting like foam on the sea, and eventually leads to its destined ending. One on the shore and one in the water.
"Wen Yuhuai. "Heaven and earth have given you back to me. " Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ruby. This girl is a god! Why are you so good at writing? I felt relieved after reading the new extras in the physical book. I hope the two little bitter gourds will live happily ever after. [Crying] [crying] [crying]
The male and female protagonists are simply the luckiest and second-to-last in the world. In the end, because of the protection and support of the second-to-last luckiest (male protagonist), the last-luckiest (female protagonist) became luckier😢
In the sea of monsters we meet again, my heartbeat recognizes you before I do
I originally wanted to read it again, but I accidentally saw in the comments section that it mentioned the physical book and that it had extras. I got the book today and read it in one sitting. It is no exaggeration to say that I almost burst into tears after watching the extra episode. I never thought that my wish for an extra episode would come true! Although the extra chapter is very short and only gives them a good start, it is enough, enough. The reason I want to cry is Wen Yuhuai, you are worth it! ! ! Your contribution deserves to be known, remembered and responded to. Although it has been so long, you have finally waited.
Wen Yuhuai, Sha Tang likes the young man with the red thread on his wrist in the dream, she likes you [crying]
After reading it, I felt suffocated, as if my heart was being held by a hand.

Huaitang should always be happy [crying] [crying] [crying]
