Protagonist characterization is my biggest deal-breaker, even more than side-character characterization. Five stars: beautifully written, protagonist-centered stories. Four stars: more balanced ensemble casts. Three stars: minor issues. Two stars: proceed with caution.

Delicious Reads I Love, Worth Rereading Again and Again
I’m a devoted fan of morally dark protagonists, you know. I’m not very into shipping couples. A jumble of derivative and original works.
Bad Cat, Bad Cat, We Love You
Mostly shou with tastes like villainous, scheming, outwardly innocent but secretly ruthless, cold on the inside, controlling, or sadistic. Some are nasty little cats, though the degree of meanness varies; a few are only mildly bad. Details in the comments.
Great Danmei (Bottom Edition)
I’m especially into stories with controlled, idealized bottom characters. Some of these don’t quite fit, but I think they’re all good stories (some have fantastic plots, even if the romance isn’t that great).
Adored Bottoms
The whole story focuses on the bottom's personal growth or career, or the bottom has a lot of charisma.
Stories from the Emperor's Point of View
Emperor enthusiast and protagonist enthusiast. The emperor is the dominant partner. Most are top-protagonist or no-CP stories; the few with bottom protagonists feature strong personalities too. There are romance, world-building, and conquest stories.
Western Fantasy
Western fantasy with no-CP and danmei, including full-dive Western fantasy and Fourth Calamity stories. A tiny bit of romance, too.
Protagonists That Suit My Taste
I’ll always love protagonists with divinity, a position of power, ambition, or idealism. I’m a protagonist enthusiast. I read no-CP, BL, and BG, both fanworks and original fiction.
Saved: Beloved by All Bottoms
Baby food for bottom fans. No dirty old tops or unclean tops.
Career-Focused Novels
Career-focused stories with internally consistent logic
Where's My Food? Where's My Food? (My Personal Reading Stash)
(Hungry) (crawling around in the dark) (turning into a giant spider and flying everywhere) (twisting) (scaling walls and leaping rooftops)
Underrated Bottom-Centric Wish-Fulfillment Reads (Slowly Updating)
The rankings are hard to stomach, so I'm digging up obscure gems and sampling a bit of everything. Strong preferences for bottoms, and I'm a die-hard bottom fan. I don't judge stories by the author's personal views. Everyone has different triggers, so mind your own.
Top Picks, Nearly Perfect
Mostly danmei, with a few no-romance stories.
Flawless
Not only perfect, but with a special kind of love, too.
Immortal-Grade BL
The title says it all: perfect, beyond question, with both an excellent plot and a great romance. If you love beautiful writing, come on in. [Slowly making my way through the list…]
Western Fantasy + Spacefaring Future
Personal taste
Completed Works, Eclectic Tastes, No Pairings, Danmei, and Romance, Part 1
Western fantasy/space opera/infinite worlds/raising kids/animals/infrastructure building/entertainment industry/cultivation/quick transmigration/Marvel and DC fanfiction/nonhumans. I read pretty much everything. This list is full, so updates are in Reading List 2.
Protagonist-Focused Feel-Good Reads
Protagonist-above-all-else. Any gender, top or bottom, I'm open to all kinds. From sub fans to dom fans, I enjoy it all, including but not limited to BL, BG, GB, and no romance.
Terrible Reads
These are my personal opinions, so there's no need to argue. The list maker is just being mean. Giving something three stars doesn't really mean it's a three-star read: Jinjiang won't let me give one star, so what can I do?
Loved These, Would Reread
Worth rereading
For Personal Use: Danmei with Intense, Heavy Emotions
A personal reading list: original works and various derivative works, danmei and male-no-romance stories. I insist on unique pairings. I like redemption, but I also enjoy love-hate relationships, mutual destruction, and tangled feelings. I prefer incest and younger semes.
Great No-CP Stories (Male Protagonist Edition)
So over-the-top and swoony that anyone who isn't chuunibyou might find it embarrassing, but the writing is excellent!

From the time it was being updated to the end of this book intermittently, I am really grateful to the author for completing such an exquisite and romantic work. In the early stage, I was attracted by the rare Western fantasy background, but I was completely attracted by the almost perfect setting and plot. Articles under the Western Romance category need to be gorgeous enough, and works involving religious themes are even more complicated. However, the supposedly complex setting can be subtly understood by readers through the development of the plot, and even becomes an enhancement to important nodes. The author is really amazing. It is rare to tell the story clearly in a complete and organized manner. This work also has a strategic game mixed with delicate emotions and a rich text with a strong visual sense. Such a mid-level (?) Work full of ingenuity is a rare work of art. Every step of the plot and every character is already so fleshed out that I don't know how to praise it. What I like most is that the author describes Rafa as rational and self-possessed, and there is no unbridled emotion in the work, but his life is full of love, both from himself and from the people around him. This is an indescribable touch... Maybe it comes from the love and tenderness overflowing from the words. Love, hard work, ideals... All positive qualities are reflected in them. These most ordinary and pure things are also the most rare. Regardless of gender or origin, just human beings can shine like stars, and my heart has been warmed and melted by the bright light. After reading the author's remarks at the end of the chapter, I was surprised that the author had dealt with such a subject for the first time. The advancement method similar to the display of historical materials enriched the reading experience, as if I had really read about their lives through history. It was rigorous, vivid, and very interesting. Such a romantic work is already a treasure of mine and I will watch it again and again. Once again, I would like to express my gratitude to the author, thank you for telling the story of roses.
I have read a lot of articles and this is my first time writing a review. My eyes twitched after reading this article. From a beggar to the pope who created an era, Raphael's life was magnificent. He died under a conspiracy, and after his rebirth, he showed unparalleled ruthlessness and bloody methods. It is difficult to say that he was a good man, but he realized himself and truly brought future and hope to the people, even if the journey was unspeakably bloody. This CP did not end up together, and several people even paid a lifetime of freedom or even their lives for his career. Raphael has such charm. I seldom feel sorry for him, but in this article I was very sad to leave, because my heart was completely impressed by the author's portrayal of Raphael, and I had infinite pity for him (even though he was very powerful). After reading the book, I very much hope that someone can accompany this rose growing among thorns, so that he does not have to bear the loneliness that comes with power. Fortunately, in the end, he was accompanied by someone, and he also left a rich mark in the history books. The author's writing style is undoubtedly excellent, with gorgeous but not stiff vocabulary, a smooth and climactic plot, and deeply rooted characterizations. In particular, the author has his own thoughts on controlling the overall plot rhythm, and the departure of the characters has its foreshadowing and tragic destiny. I have to say that this is the most satisfying novel I have ever read. The career and emotional lines are just right. The protagonist has the admiration of countless people and does not resist using these emotions to achieve his own goals. From the beginning to the end, he never actually surrenders his heart. In the end, he achieves the fulfillment of his rights. It's so cool! It would be nice if we could slightly increase the ratio of emotional lines and write a few sweet extras to heal... There is another point where I have to praise the author very much. The portrayal of women in the author's works is very brilliant and is an indispensable part of the overall plot. In the author's works, many female characters have emerged who do not bow to the patriarchal society and choose to break the rules. This makes me, a reader with a simple understanding of feminism, feel very comfortable. Flowers, dresses, and jewelry are beautiful, but women will never give up the pursuit of truth, power, and rights!
They may not have complained about their ending, but as a reader, I still regret it
I really like this sense of history. When they are in it, they themselves are history.
"It's impossible to climb the wall anyway." But Yura really climbed the wall and got in. Alas.
It was so well written,,,, but the ending made me choke up a little. The relief and regret of the ending hung heavily in my heart. The story of me resisting Rafa ended here, but I had to forcefully brush away the wrinkles in my heart. I look forward to Rafa entering the world of more people.
This is a legendary story that belongs to Farah alone, but it also belongs to everyone in this era. This story will eventually come to an end but will always shine brightly in my heart, good night Farah
Rafa's life was full of ups and downs, with gains and losses, and in the end he just felt lost. The author's description is also very contagious, as if opening an old parchment, allowing readers to pass through the gaps in time and get a glimpse of Rafa's story.
This kind of extra story with a sense of history makes people want to cry.
Feeling inspired to write a little fairy tale? I don't know if it's accurate or not, but in short, this is dedicated to Rafa. Good morning, are you awake? Then let's start telling today's story. What we are going to talk about today is about the Nightingale and the Rose. What, you said you are tired of hearing this story? Okay, okay, I'm such a picky kid, so let me tell you a story that really happened. That happened a long, long time ago, when it was not as good as it is now. The earth was still divided among many kings. The real king could unscrupulously chop off your head with a knife and gun, force you into a huge garden maze, and play chasing games with you. Of course, you would die. What, you said you can't imagine, okay, shut up, kid, be quiet and listen to me. What a rich and chaotic land this is. Conspiracies, poisons, and countless horrific things that are unimaginable in your little mind are happening endlessly on the earth. Trouble, wails and death, you have them all over the place. But things must turn against each other, and the most precious treasure was finally born on this land, a legend and shining hearts. In the most fertile and sacred place on the earth, in the center of the kingdom of nations, our hero has the noblest blood. He was born from the purest true love between men and women that cannot be killed even in the cold winter, but it was washed away in the complex ocean currents full of reefs. The person's jewelry is lost, living like weeds on the gray and black streets. Gee, how can I describe this complexity to you? In short, the mud was wiped away by the newly recovered treasure, and he fell into a new prison, but this time the treasure was not alone, and a magic rose scepter accompanied him. What a beautiful and wise scepter this is, everyone who sees it lowers their head slightly. Time is passing, flowers and birds are growing like crazy. In the blink of an eye, our treasure has become the most noble person in the world, and everyone must bow to him. He met a nightingale who longed for illusion and redemption. This bird was so confused and tired. His wings were wet, and he was desperate to pursue the nobility in his heart. But how can the nightingale's desire exist? It was a false fantasy like an attic, but the nightingale found a place that could hold his wings, the nightingale found a reason to sing, and he found a home worth protecting. Also, there is the thorn of integrity, which is as pure and dazzling light as gold, so firm that it even stubbornly guards the Holy Seat where the treasure is placed. You said he was guarding the treasure? Or the Holy See? No, that doesn't matter anymore. Destiny, this cruel and majestic goddess, involves everything in it, and the undercurrent of it makes life wither. (Unfinished)
