I've devoured twelve hundred novels in no particular order. Here's a list of my personal top picks (still adding more!!!)
A Slightly More Niche BL Reading List
These are either books I think fewer people read, or older stories that used to be popular but don't get as much attention now. Mostly classics from back in the day.
BL Reading List
Both dominant and submissive leads are fine. These are purely subjective opinions, and I prefer couples who are evenly matched. Looking for recommendations with dual perspectives, first-person narration, switching, or selfcest. No coddled spouses or silly beauties, please.
Reading Log
Worth rereading... (The reviews are mostly text.)
A Grab Bag of Romance, BL, and Everyone-Loves-Them Stories
Sweet, sour, bitter, and tart
Celebrating the Happy Endings of Completed Danmei
Danmei stories. No content warnings, just recommendations. Very subjective, so take your pick. There's a bit of everything, but most are lighthearted with happy endings. Still organizing the list.
Interstellar and ABO
.
A Whole Lot of Soap-Opera Drama
Includes danmei and romance. The general vibe is dark, female-lead or bottom-centric, and melodrama-loving.
Absolutely Adore These
My kind of thing
Personal Log: Deliciously Dark Reads
As the title says, just organizing these so it's easier to reread later

Good BL
When I have nothing to read, I go back to these again and again. I'm a huge Mù Sūlǐ fan, but some of their books are too heartbreaking for me to revisit. This list is my go-to for easy comfort reads whenever I'm bored, ovo.

Tears came down [rainbow fart], why should I click on this before going to bed. It was too painful. The previous plot was ignorant, suffocating and desperate. I even felt a sense of sadness when watching Bai Yu kill people. Later, when I saw his life rotting away bit by bit, the past was dripping with blood and the future was desolate and dark. In the end, he turned into a cat, a cat that acted entirely on instinct. After reading the extra chapter, it didn't increase my hope at all, even a little bit. For the first time, I felt like I wanted to die in the little couple doi. For Bai Yu, sex is a kind of erosion, with the smell of death. So desperate.
When I first saw the name, I thought it was a food article... I'm a fool When I first entered V, I thought it would be a suspense + dog-blood local literature where the protagonist returns home from a terminal illness to carry out a revenge spree and falls in love with a loyal dog and a strong man. Xiaoweier is also very interesting, and Xixite produces a professional counterpart... And then the most powerful one at the end is Jin Funan, but Gong seems to be so good at fighting, it must be no problem... But why is it disgusting to be alive at the end... So broken... At the beginning of the story, when the whole style was vicious, ignorant, and feudal, even though I knew that Bai Yu had his reasons for coming back, and the protagonist would definitely not leave the main stage of the story casually, I still looked forward to when the protagonist would leave the village. Later in the mountain, I was still confused as to why the protagonist was still unwilling to leave even after taking revenge... It turned out to be because the world outside the village and the world controlled by the rich that he experienced was really a million times more disgusting than the one in the village... Well, when I look back at it now, everything is different... So no matter how he was squeezed out or what kind of rumors he was exposed to, he remained calm... In such a backward village, the evil of human nature does not have enough money, knowledge, and power to nourish it, and sometimes it even seems childish and ridiculous. When I saw the end, it was extra uncomfortable because it was a hopeful ending rather than a double death... It was really uncomfortable and hard to say... Thinking at the best, Bai Yu's soul will definitely wake up from this body many, many years later, his revenge will be avenged, his lover will be by his side, and he will live a happy life that he has not had for a long time. But why on earth did he encounter this... I thought I had eaten enough of the knife in the quick penetration to build up my patience, but I still fucked, fucked, pinched orz, what a scary woman, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
After reading this, I am really strong-willed [Glasses]
It's extremely difficult to calm down, and the consistent writing style of Xisit makes people feel delicate and strange. The background story is quite real and immersive, much like the ordinary time and space in the real world. The mountain village is isolated from the outside world, and the communication between the two sides is connected by a boat. It reminds me of Shen Congwen's "Border Town". In such a semi-closed place, a person (Bai Yu) who is incompatible with the inner world suddenly returns. The contradiction is revealed through his rather rich and beautiful appearance, frivolous and somewhat immature character, and the attitude and language of the villagers towards him. As this contradiction continues to deepen and be seen, this process introduces many people (some good and some bad), and they all end up with different endings (sad, hateful, happy...) What shocked me the most in the whole book was the arrangement of the timeline. The heavy snow overwhelmed me. The story of Bai Yu's family has become more and more violent as the plot progresses. This reminds me of "Snowstorm Temple" and "Blessing". After the heavy snow, this decades-long farce did not end abruptly, but took many, many years to heal the scars of the injured. The aspect of the fourth nature in the book reminded me of the early days of living evil, and I also admired the author's insight and imagination. He can skillfully and accurately integrate many elements into his own style, and then write his own expressions and thoughts. Abo's worldview is independent of reality, but the local customs (some good and some bad) make people connect with reality and make people think about the story. After reading the full text, there are some ingenious ideas that I couldn't get. I looked through the comments and found that this is the author's essay, but I still want to comment... The book is called Brown Sugar Eggs, but the description of brown sugar eggs in the text is sparse and inexplicable (maybe he wanted to leave blank space to show Bai Yu's longing for his home in his impression). The source of his affection for Gong is largely due to Gong boiling brown sugar eggs for him. It gave him an impression of the feeling of home. After becoming the fourth gender, he was even more separated from the title of the book. The way to establish contact with the outside world was actually completely tied to the attack... It was a bit more of a disconnection, but more of a separation. Before Bai Yu fell into coma, he clearly did not want to become the fourth gender, and would rather die than become that kind. Just like Xiao Cai thought, he looked like Bai Yu's brother but was not. I like the Bai Yu I portrayed before. He went through a lot and came back to take revenge personally. I don't like him in the fourth gender. His world is only about attack and does not have the romantic vitality of Shanhua... Going through pain is not about forgetting. I think carrying scars will make you stronger (so the previous Bai Yu is so powerful!) I beg Xixite to write a new story! ! ! Let Bai Yu gradually return to society and use his own power to fight back against the evil forces that once harmed him (human traffickers, illegal transformation gangs, tree reselling teams, Party A of the transformation gang...)! ! !
Sisit, I am afraid of you...
[Cracked] I looked at the title and thought it was so sweet. When I was reading it, I was still thinking about Bai Yu's revenge and how Chen Suo took him to cure his illness and live a good life together. Yemei talked about this disease. [Crying] [Crying] [Crying]
After reading it, I feel that this book is like a documentary dream, Liang Baiyu's broken and unrealizable dream.
Such delicate torture...[Crying]
Madam, the book you wrote made me cry when I read it. Do you know? [Crying] [Crying] I've been crying all the time. I cried for a whole month after reading it a few years ago. Now I'm rereading the last few chapters and I'm wiping my tears again. You, the author, don't have the heart [Crying] [Crying]
I am a beta from beginning to end... I have encountered many misfortunes because I am a beta, but fortunately I will not suffer more because I am a beta. The days that follow must be happy [crying]
