Meals to Enjoy Whenever I Feel Like It

I like distinctive characters or beautiful prose, including stories with privileged elites, irresistible charmers, strong female leads, nonhumans, dark and twisted characters, survival-game shows, fanfiction, toxic drama, couples in love, and pure fun.

Dubcon and Other Kinky Stuff

I like yandere characters, dark and obsessive types, domineering love, male chauvinism, toxic dynamics, twisted feelings, and clingy relationships. This is just my personal taste, so there aren't many fragile heroines or historical romance stories.

Niche, Underrated BG Romance

Basically, either novels with cliched premises but good writing and little buzz, or BG novels with niche topics or fresh ideas. I'll keep updating this list

Everyone Needs to Read About This Dark, Obsessive Top!

All BG! I love reading about gloomy, possessive men and sticky-sweet romances! I don't care whether the plot puts the man or the woman through the wringer, as long as it suits my tastes.

Male-Centered

I just love a sick, twisted, gloomy, possessive man. The male lead is a virgin.

Personal Favorites

Obsessive men, yandere men, gloomy men, forced love, domineering possessiveness, and toxic obsession

Romance

BG is the best! I'm Team Female Lead (straightens clothes, clears throat, speaks with confidence).

Level B

Specialists in Dark, Twisted Romance

A collection of twisted relationships: Mary Sues, everyone-falls-for-the-protagonist stories, brooding toxic love, coercive possession, love-hate tragedies, melodrama, and male rivalry love triangles. Love is most vivid when it leaves you in pieces.

BG Novels I've Finished

All kinds of tastes, mostly with chaste male leads. I don’t mind either way about the female lead. Ongoing list...

Level A

Well-Written Female Leads

Female leads with high likability, strength, intelligence, an eccentric wavelength, an S-type big-sister vibe, and everyone falling for them.

Brooding Ghostly Men

The ultimate feast

Novels I've Finished Over the Years (BG)

As the title says, some of these might be landmines (I’m just keeping a record)

Some Compelling Love Triangles

Lately, I'm really into the brooding, twisted male lead archetype. Yang Mi, Yang Mi!

It’s My Fault I Love Yandere Pretty Boys

Personal tastes: I like pretty boys, little boys, and femboys, in short, handsome guys!! I'm picky about the writing and characterization, and I have a thing for younger men, forced romance, gloomy obsessive love, and unrequited love.

BG Romance-Focused Stories [1]

Reading log. Premise and setting matter more than prose. I love silly, sweet, melodramatic stories.

Feel-Good Stories with Female Leads, Saved for Myself

I like powerful, captivating female leads. No BL. I read all kinds of things, including various anime crossovers, so check the descriptions to avoid anything you don't like.

Give Me Brooding, Ghostly Men

A real male ghost: no redemption arc, just thoroughly eerie.

BG: Aristocratic Academy, School Life, Everyone Loves the Protagonist

I usually don't have many dealbreakers (/(°∞°)\), so I can't tell what counts as a dealbreaker.

Saved for Myself: Great Reads, Food for Thought, and My Kinks

A messy collection of stories with writing, plots, or themes that hit my buttons, made me think, or left me amazed and delighted.

Books I Love

My tastes are a little eclectic. There's romance, male-male romance, and stories with no romance. These are some of the good ones I've discovered lately. I hope more people will like them as much as I do.

BG Stories with Male-Centered Plots

Stories I found on forums, plus my personal favorites. A content warning: some are pretty dark, with plots involving imprisonment and the like.
