Crossroads

Fully Purchased and Free Reads (BG and No Romance)

This list only includes books I bought in full, at least the entire main story. I left out books I skipped chapters in, as well as some I bought in full but now consider embarrassing relics of my past. There are also a few free books.

Didn't Finish, But Got Tired of Them: A Personal Reading List

Underrated, High-Quality BG Stories

Romance novels featuring all kinds of character types

Romance Novel Recommendations from a Seven-Year Reader

You can count on the writing, plot, characters, and foreshadowing. I only read sweet romances, and very few are modern romances. I especially enjoy female leads who attract multiple admirers or are universally adored, among other types (not all stories fit these tropes).

BG: Mutual Love, Historical and Modern Romance

I love romance with happy endings, one-on-one pairings, mutual feelings, young couples, and childhood sweethearts. I’m a huge fan of all of these. Ongoing list. Stories I can’t let go of are in the comments.

Recommendations for Friends

Pick whatever you like and dig in!

Books I Like

Beautiful writing and a great story

The Wish-Granted Bookshop

A bit of everything. I especially love ensemble-cast stories.

***'S Top Picks

*** handpicked. If it's not good, it's not going on here. Only romance stories I've read and genuinely loved~

Great Short Stories (Under 400,000 Characters)

I only like BG and no-CP, prefer plot-driven stories, and only add completed novels.

My Beloved Modern Romance Reads, Muah

Don’t bash me!! This is just my personal taste!!

Little Bookshelf (Romance)

It's so hard to find books to read these days. I'm making a list of the ones I've reread two or three times, so I can revisit them when I'm out of things to read.

Some Books I Like

No bad endings.

Crime Stories With a Female Lead Driving the Investigation

Modern criminal investigations, no fantasy golden fingers. The female lead is generally a detective. I don't read stories where the male lead is a detective and the female lead is just his assistant. Nothing below five stars is a recommendation.

A Collection of My Favorite Books (BG)

My requirements are a male lead who's a virgin, while the female lead can be anything, and beautiful prose that's romantic or deeply moving. I'm open to all kinds of characterizations! No spoilers, just my thoughts after reading.

Want to Read Again

No matter how many times I read a good story, I still want to read it again!!!!

A Little Bit of Everything

The writing is really good. I keep rereading them

Joy

Heartbeat Signal

Well worth reading, with quality guaranteed and complete stories.

A Look at the Novels I've Read on Jinjiang Over the Years

My tastes are pretty varied: modern romance, historical romance, fantasy, sci-fi, and more. The only guarantee is that the female lead won't be pushed around, and the male lead won't steal her spotlight.

Girls in All Their Diverse, Colorful Glory

All kinds of heroines. Here's to celebrating the diversity of girls.
