Not Into Stories Where the Bottom Falls for the Top

For personal use. Not recommendations or rankings, just focused on whether the love interest leans gong. I read novels on my own, happily enjoying my gong-loving life.

Top-Centric Stories (Not Necessarily Mutual Pampering, but No Weak-in-Bed Tops)

I like strong, self-indulgent tops who make an exception for love; I like the tops and bottoms yearning for each other, hate-to-love sex, and mutual pampering. Both sweet and melodramatic stories. I can't stand everyone-falls-for-the-protagonist setups, weak bottoms, insectoid races, or bland tops.

Mei Su 1’S Bodyguard

A one-stop shop for feminizing male characters. I only love beautiful, charming pursuers.

Finished Reading (^O^)/

Mutual pampering, with the balance between top and bottom decided by me. I usually give everything five stars.

Personal List: Bottom-Focused Stories, Part 2

Top devotees, don't sneak a bite. I'll do my best to make sure there are no tops □ bottoms, bottoms throwing themselves at the top, cheating tops, FW tops, or beastly tops. Still focused on characterizing the top and the bottom's feelings for him...

Tugou’s Top Recommendations

Mostly gong-focused, and I love melodrama. There might be mutual doting too, but personally, I care more about the angst than anything else. I’m firmly gong-leaning. I’ve forgotten how some of them continued, so I may add reviews later.

My Reading Log

For record-keeping only, not recommendations | Going by my standards across various platforms, my reading list is all about mutual devotion. I prefer strong x strong, but I'm not picky. I like powerful, doted-on bottoms, and hard pass on bottoms who are weak in every way

Spoiled Top Sweet Treats (In My Opinion

Some stories where I favor the seme. This list was made a long time ago, so quite a few stories that might be deal-breakers now aren't labeled. I'll update it gradually.

Seme-Centric

Entirely from my subjective perspective. I lean toward tops, adore stories where the bottom pampers the top, and enjoy quick transmigration, weak tops, and equally matched couples. I avoid stories where the top pampers the bottom.

A Top Fan's Reading Log

I've read most of these once already, and I'll leave thoughtful reviews and notes. I'm gong-biased, so proceed with caution.

The Groveling Chase

This is exactly the kind of satisfying groveling-chase romance I’m here for.

Leaving My Mark After Reading

Books I've managed to finish reading all gathered together here, mainly featuring protagonists in the giving role, male protagonists, or no romantic pairings. I prefer the giving role and am a protagonist stan. My bottom line is balanced treatment, but I love harem and group-pampering stories.

Personal Avoid List: Top-Led Edition

Stories with a top protagonist that I read back when I was convinced that, as a lover of all kinds of melodramatic tropes, nothing could scare me off, only to get emotionally wrecked.

Top-Centric Stories with DotIng, Playful Tops and Pampered Tops

Top's perspective, with the bottom doting on the top. For top lovers. I only read stories where the top is weak in bed. I tend to recommend lesser-known works, so please support the authors. I love top-focused stories and tops being pursued.

Seme Protagonists

Top gong stories. I lean toward gongs, and like charming, powerful, effortlessly capable, commanding gongs. I’m not picky about the shou.

Top-Semec Reads (Might Be Harsh, Read at Your Own Risk)

A roundup of unusual tastes, leaning toward gong-centric stories. I enjoy both strong and weak characters in bed, and I'm heavily dependent on stories with a Mary Sue gong. My dealbreakers all depend on how the shou treats the gong, so use your own judgment. Don't blame me if you get triggered; I warned you.

Personal Picks: Top-Protagonist Stories

I don't know how to describe this category, but I like them all. Some are free, and some are long. I'll keep adding to it over time. Mostly a personal collection.
