If It’s Bad, You Can Take a Swing at Me

If you've found this list, you've discovered a hidden gem.

An Honest Reader’s Personal Book List

Keeping track of bottoms who left an impression on me: beauties, handsome guys, heartthrobs, self-destructive types, scumbags, lovesick types, charming favorites, cross-dressers, and anything else you can imagine.

Self-Recommendations, BL With a Bottom-Leaning Preference

I love sweet, devoted 1v1 couples who dote on each other. My absolute favorite is a submissive, straight-laced bottom!!!

A Submissive-Leaning Reader’s Completed Purchases

I’m listing some books I’ve left reviews for. I like cute, beautiful, strong, and sculpted bottoms; I don’t care much about author drama, because the reading experience comes first. I usually switch between CPJ leaning toward the bottom and bottom-only fan.

Reading Log

Just keeping a record

Tossing Out a Jade to Attract More Jade, Recommendations with High Overlap Welcome

Includes both BL and straight romance, with lots of no-CP stories where everyone has a crush on the protagonist, some stories with a one-on-one pairing for part of the story, and lots of spin-offs. Looking for recommendations with similar tastes.

Mostly Submissive Leads, Loves Submissive Characters

A comfort reader who likes bottoms in wholesome settings. Beautiful and strong bottoms, queenly bottoms, straight bottoms, handsome bottoms: I approve of them all. I love stories where bottoms get plenty of spotlight but their feelings aren't strongly reciprocated. I love catifying characters, and occasionally indulge in a little character-bashing.

4.5 Stars and Up

Since 2022, I've been sorting these into four- and five-star reads. Worth rereading and savoring, and I like couples who are evenly matched.

Some Things I Like to Read

Some of my favorite warm and angsty stories. Lots of nonhuman characters and melodrama ()

The Account That Respects Tragic, Beautiful, Strong Bottoms the Most

The author avoids their own squicks. Use the search function. I personally love beautiful but tragic characters, so if anyone shares my taste, recommendations would be even more welcome. Drooling...

Charismatic Protagonists

Protagonists I consider to have a universal-charm trait

Irresistible Bottoms and Exquisite Writing

After years of reading harem stories, I'm recording some great novels here, both completed and ongoing. I'll also list some popular things I dislike (though I might actually enjoy them). I'll keep updating.

Stories I Got Totally Hooked On

I'm a protagonist fan and a CP shipper. I've been out of books for so long that I barely have any squicks left. Ratings don't matter.

Modern Urban Fiction

Recommendations and DNF Warnings (Full Version)

A fan of handsome, cool, beautiful, adorable, and sickly bottoms. Handsome, cool bottoms are treasures of the world. Plot-driven stories with outrageous twists, where the bottom is strong and the top is even stronger. Contains a small amount of BG romance (for fans of the female lead).

My Bottom Darling Is an Angel, But Can Be a Little Devil Too

Mostly shou-focused: shou comfort, shou-centric stories, beloved shou, sunshine shou, gentle shou, clueless shou, aloof shou, idealized shou, weak shou, strong shou, and shou feminization... I just want stories centered on the shou.

Everyone's Favorite Bottoms

Beloved, irresistible, gorgeous, silly, baby-faced, and godlike or goddesslike bottoms, including queenly big sisters, moms, younger sisters, and older brothers, plus devoted simps

Memorable Beautiful, Strong, Charismatic, and Adorable Bottoms

Focused on the receiver's characterization and making each character distinct. Just keeping these for myself.

A Pretty Face Is the Ultimate Asset

Original BL and no-CP stories. I’m extremely picky about how the protagonist looks and love a protagonist adored by everyone. I also have some potentially dark tastes in gong characters. These are recommendations based on my personal kinks, so quality isn’t guaranteed.

Reviews

I'm open to all kinds, but I do have my limits. kk and cpj can both find things they dislike in this list. I'm too lazy to read the gossip and warnings. I've subscribed to everything, so cut me some slack.

Kink-Focused, Fully Read

Leaning toward uke, a little morally chaotic. Reviews are fairly detailed and include both fanworks and original fiction. If the author matters to you, judge for yourself! I’ve bought every volume, so my ratings follow my personal habits. No free books included.

A Personal, Anything-Goes Reading List ^ ^

I’m a multigenre reader, but I prefer pure-love couples. This is my personal reading list, so I’m not responsible for content warnings. I only recommend niche books I’ve read and would reread. No huge hits.

Done

A little bit of everything.
