Pure Love
Just keeping track. Mostly top-focused danmei, with spoiled and doting tops; mutual pampering is good too. I like strong couples, beautiful characters, and good plots. I don't like overly clingy romances, and I'm not keen on tops doting on bottoms.
Top POV
Just a shameless fan of men loving men and gender-bender romance (personal taste, proceed at your own risk)
CPJ’s BL Reading List
Mostly told from the gong's perspective. It has dual perspectives, and the shou's perspective may be added later. I like strong leads who dote on each other, with a sweet tone.
My Reading List of Pursuer-Protagonist Stories
The stories that passed you and me by over the years. I look forward to meeting you again in a warm winter reading hoard.
Books I've Fully Paid For, Part 1
100 novels. Revised version 1. Most of them have basically been wiped from my memory.
Great Reads, Mostly Male Leads, With Some Male Receivers and Switches
Whether the protagonist is the pursuer or the one being pursued is just a matter of perspective to me. I can't stand universally adored protagonists, regret-and-redemption arcs, love rivals competing for the same person, one-sided crushes, or weak protagonists who are bad in bed. Otherwise, I read all kinds of things and have all sorts of kinks (emphasis).
Recommendations
Novels I personally quite enjoyed: no CP, everyone loves the protagonist, historical spin-offs.
Personal Picks
Saved for myself: books I personally really love!!! (I’ve put the insectoid stories and quick transmigration novels in separate lists.)
Top-Focused Recommendations
Mainly seme-focused stories of various types, all personal favorites.
Seme-Centric Mutual-Doting Stories, Ongoing
I'm all for couples spoiling each other, though sometimes I lean a little toward the shou. I love seeing couples being affectionate and I'm here for the romance. I don't want to think too hard or read anything mentally taxing. Feel free to ask questions or discuss the books, dears.
Complete Collection
A collection of books I've bought in full. Something for readers who aren't bothered by any particular tropes. Includes danmei, romance, no CP, and other genres. Still being sorted.
Completed Novels with Pursuing Protagonists, Recommendations 1
Top-focused stories that fit my personal taste. I’ve read and finished them all; if I made it to the end, they must be pretty good. I recommend every story here. Five stars are for the unexpected personal favorites.
Personal Reading List, Updated Through March 2, 2025
Putting my recently finished reads here. Enter at your own risk: this is a personal taste list and an unsorted record of what I’ve read. Original romance, anime-inspired, BL, and no-couple stories
Seme-Centric
Fully subscribed, with a preference for strong couples. Slightly protagonist-obsessed (sometimes I really wish I could give half a star).
Product-Focused Sisters, Come Take a Look (No One with Strong Shipping Preferences!)
Mostly male-led, with fewer female-led stories. The romantic interest is balanced both ways, though some lean a little toward one side or the other. Overall, they're pretty even, so fans who insist on one side should steer clear.
For Personal Use: Top-Centric and No-CP
I still prefer tops who are forceful in bed
Top-Protagonist Stories (Control Freaks, Stay Away)
Avoid if you’re a gong-control fan. Our preferences don’t match. Avoid if you’re a shou-control fan, too, since the scales are tipped. Usually gong-focused, with romance-obsessed characters. The plot doesn’t matter; I’m here for the romance.
Dropped Reads, For Personal Use
For noting stories to avoid and ones I've dropped, so I don't forget. Please, authors, just follow the normal CP-writing guidelines. If I have to keep avoiding stories, I'll have nothing left to read.
Complete Collection
For my own use. Mostly top-focused, and I'm a protagonist fan and a fan of sweet little couples
Woohoo~
Historical Novels (Complete)
All completed, and I’ve read every volume
Top-Only Story Log 2
Niche, unusual tastes, and top-focused. I love strict, domineering tops. A top-centric reader's review log, both likes and dislikes. Prefer strong tops and strong bottoms; hate weak tops and weak bottoms.
Top-Dom Protagonists, Top-Dom Protagonists
Saved for myself
Top-Dom Collection
Organizing the male-protagonist stories I've read. No insectoid, sentinel-guide, or ABO stories, though quick transmigration stories may include worlds like that.

There is one good thing about Qingjun's character: there is no internal friction. This kind of love is really full of weight.
Wei Wuxia is really an early version of Bai Yueguang, irreplaceable, and the character is so three-dimensional [laughs]
I'm looking for a modern side story. I want to read Wu Xia's comments. It's either Qingjun or Wu Xia.
The main focus is to collect in advance: "Traveling through the Ancient Imperial Examinations" Born into a scholarly family, Ji Yingchen, like her elders, chose to stay in school to teach and became a teacher after graduation. But I didn't expect that once I traveled through time, I wouldn't even be able to read a book. Fortunately, my grandparents are kind, my parents are loving, and my brothers and sisters are very close. I have land, a house, and property. I am one of the largest households in the village. I can live a step-by-step life and grow up safely. But, is this enough? How can you be satisfied with the troughs when you have seen the high mountains? No matter which world he is in, Ji Yingchen will see the vastness of the world and the myriad features of all living beings. The first step is to start with reading. This young gentleman, please stay here. Can you lend me my book and I will lend you my body? "The Ji family boy is crazy!" The villagers discovered that the most favored grandson of the Ji family stopped playing around and ran to the city and private schools all day long, saying he wanted to study. Read? Everyone laughed secretly in their hearts, what kind of book should Mudlegs read? However, smiling, they saw: Ji Yingchen goes to school. Ji Yingchen passed the examinations of Tongsheng, Xiucai, Juren, Jinshi, and became the number one scholar! Everyone was shocked, he really succeeded! Gentleman as gentle as jade attacks and Zhilan Yushu, a talented man receives ※The main attack is to have children, the attack is a gentle and gentle educator, and the sect is a talented and cold beauty. ※My parents are short-sighted, and they study and study. There is no plot where the cannon fodder villain slaps the face. It is relatively dull. I will try not to be boring (it will most likely fail). ※The emotional drama is relatively heavy. For Gong, reading is as important as Shou. Reading is what he wants to do for the rest of his life, and Shou is the person he wants to love for the rest of his life. ※In the early stage, he studied and studied, in the middle he took the imperial examination and became an official. In the later stage, when he reached middle age, when he had done enough official work, he would resign and open an academy and return to his own job. He loved this. In later generations, his identity accounted for the most important part as an educator. (Gong's name is taken from the mountains that don't let the dust, the rivers that don't leave the river, and the name of Shou means articles that are as numerous as catkins)
Woohoo, I really can't get enough, I want to see Xiao Ming too
Hey, I suddenly discovered that the name has been changed and a supplement has been added [Spreading Flowers]
It seems that I haven't been to Jinjiang for more than a year or almost two years. I stopped reading the series because of the lack of books in Jinjiang. Then I didn't finish this book. I suddenly thought of this book last night and stayed up until almost five o'clock. Today I spent almost a whole day reading it. I finally finished reading their story, and I felt like I was complete.
I still like it so much after watching it again. . . . [Spread Flowers] This book is so delicious
Why can't I give it a five-point rating... This damn system says that I always give it a five-point rating. I've already booked everything and I must give it a five-point rating. I want to score but I am afraid of lowering the total score.
I want to see the extras of the marquee or barrage of future generations. Is there any more? Woohoo, I want to see people of future generations praising Xiao Ming.
