Black-on-the-Inside Master of Deception Protagonists: BG

The appeal is all about the act: acting strong, pretending not to care, and putting on a convincing front. Sweet on the outside, dark within, scheming, calculating, and a little sinister.

Looking for Some Intense Romantic Tension: BG

Ordinary fluffy romances don't move me anymore. Now I want novels with bittersweet tension, domineering love, intense love triangles, groveling exes, and ghostly men.

BG Novels Worth Rereading

I like thrilling or heartwarming plots, and I absolutely love melodrama, yandere characters, nonhumans, redemption, gloomy ghostly men, jealous types, and possessive love. Recommend some angsty melodramas in the comments.

Truly Independent and Self-Reliant Strong Female Leads

Strong female leads with career storylines, not brainless wish fulfillment. If you don't like stories where the woman is strong but the man is even stronger, move along.

Forced Love

For fans of possessive, coercive romance.

How to Know I Love You Most

A reading log for BG romance: lots of bittersweet tension, lots of emotionally intense stories (in my opinion), and plenty of flawed characters. The overall tone is light, or the romance is bittersweet with a touch of sweetness.

[BG] Come for the Harem and Toxic Love!

I love charming, universally adored female leads. I'm just a gloomy girl who loves them deeply! Some are abandoned works, but I still think they're worth checking out!!

A Recap of What I've Read

My tastes: crazy, vicious, dark, or sinister tops; arrogant elites who force themselves on honest, ordinary people; playboys who turn over a new leaf; aloof beauties who finally lower their heads; and couples who are perfectly matched to rein each other in

Romance Novels I Keep Rereading

I’ve read these countless times. They’re the kind of stories that make me roll around in bed when I get to the good parts. Heads-up: some male leads aren’t virgins. The ratings are random, but they’re all so good.

My Reading List (BG)

I have a soft spot for thoughtful female leads or scheming, devious male leads. Above all, the characters need to feel like real people.

Angsty Fiction

Some stories that had me tearing my hair out. Too good to abandon, but not good enough to enjoy.

Recent Reads I've Enjoyed

Mostly BG, with a tiny handful of BL, which I almost never read. There's also girl-focused content, strong heroines, and all sorts of other things. I'm not picky.
