My Husband Is the Protagonist of a BL Novel

BG Romance with Obsession, Possessiveness, and Unrequited Love

Forced love, twisted devotion. If it's not messed up, I'm not recommending it. My thing is a male lead who can't have the woman he loves. The heroine always has the upper hand in the relationship, while the brooding male ghost clings to her until death

Clearing Out My Favorites

Great Reads to Check Out (I'll Keep Updating This List)

The recommender’s preferences are gloomy, brooding men and honest women, or melodramatic plots and female-bottom stories. If a book doesn’t fit those, it’s still probably one whose writing I think is excellent. Just my personal taste TT

Great Historical Romance and Xianxia

Happy endings only. Some have fanworks, and some have unusual kinks.

Time to Eat

Rice porridge, noodles, or a full meal: there’s got to be something you like, right? (This is a menu! Yes, really!) Don’t force yourself to eat what you dislike. My tastes might be twisted and unhealthy. For weird-food eaters only.

GB, Strong Female Leads, Harem, Male Rivals, Love Triangles

I like powerful, charismatic, level-headed, aloof female leads who play the fool to catch their enemies off guard and take life as it comes.

My Fully Purchased Books (Personal Archive)

Most are historical romance, xianxia, wuxia, or fantasy, with a few modern stories mixed in. Some are great, some not so great, and the higher they rank, the better they are.

BG Harem Protagonist

Self-indulgent, feel-good stories where the whole world revolves around the heroine! Mostly 1vN. I don’t like stories that are too short; the longer, the better. At least 200,000 characters. I’ll add more over time.

Romance | Sweet Couples Who Love Each Other Wholeheartedly

Sweet and easygoing stories

Angsty, Over-the-Top Love and Heartbreak

These are my handpicked favorites. Come enjoy them with me, everyone. Kindred spirits are hard to find, so I'm truly delighted to have you here~

I'm Addicted to Top-Centric BL

Stories by female M authors, or with female perspectives or writing styles (both dark and wholesome). The person who made this list has trashy, eclectic tastes and loves multiple male leads. I recommend checking out anything I've rated four stars or higher.

God's Everyday Life: A Badass, Show-Off Masterpiece

Amazing. No need to say more.

I’m a Basic Reader and I Love This Stuff 2.0

Romance. Everyone's favorite, love-triangle chaos, bitter love and hate, and coercive relationships. I'll try to mention potential dealbreakers, but I have some pretty unusual tastes, so I might not realize something is a dealbreaker for others.

Absolutely Fantastic Ongoing Romance Stories

Added to the list while still ongoing. I might not read to the end, but at least up to when I added it to my favorites, I thought it was an absolutely amazing story~

Strong Female Leads [Regularly Updated]

Rather than being loved by the strong, I choose to become strong. No female protagonists who are obsessed with cameras; if it's a female-oriented novel, I want a female-centered narrative. I enjoy romance and character growth, but not angst for angst's sake.

Everyone Loves the Heroine, Male Rivals, Mary Sue Romance

Mary Sue / everyone loves the protagonist / male rivalry. Four stars are five stars in my heart, but JJ won't let me give everything five. No limits on steamy content.

Male Rivals, Mary Sues, and Everyone's Favorite

My personal ratings. I read many of these while they were still updating and skipped some chapters, so my ratings may not be complete. Everyone’s tastes are different, so don’t take my ratings as a definitive guide (?-?).

A Harem of Admirers, No Fixed Couple, and a Jealousy-Fueled Catfight

When reading these, just let your brain switch off. Don't worry about feminism, men's rights, attack helicopter rights, or anything like that. I try to flag potential dealbreakers where I can. I'll mention if the ending has a couple.

Love Rivals / Male-Male Competition (BG)

The male-rivalry series. Girls, open the descriptions and see if they sound like your thing! I'll add a short review for the ones I especially recommend. Happy reading!

Fan Favorites × Unusual Appetites × Dark Vibes × Over-the-Top Drama

A random mix of everything, with all kinds of kinks and genres.

So Good

A collection of good BG romances, mostly historical, with a few modern stories.

My standard is a 100% subscription rate, plus finishing the book and feeling that not having read it would be one of life's great regrets :D [Updated irregularly]
