Romance, No Pairings, and Bottom-Centric Power Fantasies

A rereading list tailored to my tastes. Mostly danmei. I'm pretty easygoing and not picky, so the quality of this list may be a bit uneven.

Showbiz BL

Nostalgia earns a few extra points, but not many. The recommendation stars match the rating stars. I usually rate on my first read, so there may be some bias, but anything I fully subscribed to and gave five stars is an absolute must-read.

Digging for Gold in the Dung, Though the Gold Isn’t Pure

Novels I’ve discovered over the years that aren’t very famous but each have their own distinct qualities. They all have their strengths and weaknesses.

Handsome Bottoms and Disciplined Bottoms (Top and Bottom Fans Only, No Bug Lovers)

I'm not really into beautiful gongs or shous, but there are so few couples who are just plain handsome (sobs). I'm starving for content. I added these as long as the characters aren't feminized, so check the tags yourself.

Stories I've Finished

I only like reading about couples falling in love. Sweet and satisfying stories are the best. Even the angsty ones are usually hard on the body, not the heart. There are crossover and original works.

Rated 3 Stars After Reading

An extremely subjective personal log. They have flaws, but I finished them.

BL and Miscellaneous, No Content Warnings

I'm very invested in the protagonists. What I find appealing has changed over time, so some things I used to accept might be dealbreakers now. Aside from writing style and worldview, though, nothing really bothers me.

Maybe Later / Dropped / On Hold

A record of stories that caught my interest for various reasons but that I didn't finish, only glanced at, or dropped. I tend to keep books in my collection even after reading them, so I'm noting here why I dropped them.

Mostly Bottom-Led Stories: Four Stars for Ones I Like, Five for Ones I’ve Reread a Lot

Personally, I prefer the bottom and love couples who are evenly matched and both virgins. The top has to be a virgin. Things that make me want to throw up: mpreg and a pathetic, weak, cowardly top. Who reported my ad…?

Good Reads

Books I like. The writing should be pretty decent, I think? Though I always end up dropping them before the end, no matter what I read.

Some Danmei Recommendations

Stories with something valuable to say, plus some that are fresh and unusual and that I really love. It's too hard to rank favorites, meow. I love all of these.

All great reads (for my own use, just organizing them).

Gentle, Mature, Cool-Guy Bottoms in Modern Settings

To me, a cool bottom is strong on the inside, handsome and charismatic, mature, and not much of a talker, but says what needs to be said. A character who ticks a few of these boxes qualifies for me.

Absolutely Delightful Danmei Entertainment-Industry Stories with Uke Protagonists

A mix of genres, but I've been devoted to 1v1 couples for twenty years, with one partner as the gong and the other as the shou.

Completely Hooked

With Romance

I'm only a mild protagonist stan. I like powerful shou and a bit of a reverse harem vibe. I'm more focused on the protagonist as the shou, so I care more about the career plot than the romance. I like one-sided crushes, too.
