Bland and Forgettable
Books I dropped when they reached the paid chapters. The ones whose plots I cannot even remember are temporarily left unrated until I have time to review them and rate them properly.
A Pretty Face Is the Ultimate Asset
Original BL and no-CP stories. I’m extremely picky about how the protagonist looks and love a protagonist adored by everyone. I also have some potentially dark tastes in gong characters. These are recommendations based on my personal kinks, so quality isn’t guaranteed.
Unforgettable Reads
Personal reading list. Don't save it!
No-CP Master List (Completed and Fully Read, Ratings Archived)
My Personal Reads: Reread Favorites and Ones to Revisit
Entirely subjective. My mood and circumstances are different with every book, so I judge each one differently. What matters most is whether I enjoyed reading it.
Something to Do
Let’s get things done: stories where the career plot makes up at least half of the book.

A Showcase of My Full-Purchase Reads in Weird Tastes
Putting together a list of all the books I've bought. It spans a huge stretch of time, and my tastes have gotten pretty weird... I just read the books and don't follow any author-related gossip
My Favorites
A bit of everything, just a messy list to keep track of. My preferences are no CP >> BG >= BL = GL. Scroll down to the comments. I’m basically an omnivore.
Welcome to the Reading List for Fans of Feel-Good, Protagonist-Centric Stories!
No romance or romance, plot-focused and fantasy-focused, a variety of genres to suit my personal tastes. Half original works and half derivative works. I don't mind whether the lead is male or female. A blend of Eastern and Western styles. Updated occasionally.
No-Couple Feel-Good Stories About Raising Kids, Collection 1.0
Five stars from me, absolutely!! Mostly novels without romance that I’ve read most of. I’ll keep updating this list. (I’ve saved a bunch of no-CP books lately, so I’ll sample them first and see how they are.)
Comforting and Satisfying Reads, Any POV
Stories I've breezed through thanks to sheer good luck, feeling comfy and happy the whole way (ongoing additions)

Reviews
My Personal Reading List
Danmei, no CP
Let the Wind Sing, and Walk On at Ease
[3] No CP. I'll take my time reading and add more as I go. I'm just here for the stories, to relax and pass the time.
Transmigration Through Time and Space ①
A collection of romance novels I’ve read about transmigrating or transmigrating into a book.
Favorites
An ultimate omnivore's favorites: danmei, romance, and no-romance stories are all included. Some are sweet and some are angsty. But my favorite type is sickly, battle-worn, beautiful, powerful, and tragic characters, so there will be a lot of that...
Battle-Worn, Sickly, Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic, Savior, Death
There are lots more I've read but haven't fully subscribed to, so I didn't add them. I like stories with physical torment, savior complexes, and protagonists who die but get a happy ending. Don't come in if that's not your thing.
Mostly Original Settings, Hurt/Comfort, Battle-Scarred, Beautiful and Tragic Heroes
I get excited whenever the protagonist gets hurt. I like seeing them hold back their pain while others worry over them and take care of them, or regret it afterward. I especially like interstellar settings, historical settings, and quick transmigration. I try not to recommend popular stories. Feel free to recommend some!
I Can’t Get Enough of the Adorable, Pampered Children’s Group
They’re just lovely, and they make me happy ^_^
Reread Three Times: Quality Reads
I don't read bad endings. Everything I recommend is worth rereading, so if our tastes overlap, feel free to recommend something to me too.

My hair, I really want to kneel down and beg you. Come back and write an extra story 😭 or write another one without cp 😭 😭 😭
I'm so disappointed and sad... It's obviously an ending that can be called he, but it's so sad that all the good things that were entangled in the cold reality were blown away during the process of growing up. There are so many regrettable things. Since we made a wedding ceremony, everything was running in the direction of no return - no, the ending may have been doomed long ago, but "it was just ordinary at the time." In the end, even though everyone still gathered at the family banquet, everything felt different. They wanted to buy sweet-scented osmanthus and drink wine together, but in the end it was not like they were young. Xiao Qi bids farewell to her relatives and friends on the lonely throne, and is always looking back in modern times. It's like a continuous rain... Wuwu. Why does he feel more sad and melancholy than the previous works written by the author and teacher? Alas, it is probably because Gongdu and the shower curtain are both foreigners who can be separated, and Xiaoqi has long lost his sense of being a guest in his dreams. Those relatives and friends after time travel gradually become all his reality. Even if he repeatedly warns himself not to give his true heart to the emperor, Xiaoqi inevitably develops feelings. I always see all kinds of perfect people in novels, but the reality is that there are so many regrets, and even if there are so many choices, so many regrets, even if I don't know my fourth brother, even if I have to ascend the throne, even if... Xiaoqi must feel happy in getting along with relatives and friends. In the end, I can travel around the world with Liuliu. Alas, but in short, I am still so melancholy...
The ending of this book is too bad, I can't say it's too bitter, I can't say it's too bitter, so I've been reluctant to read it again [covering my face and crying] Personally, I'm very happy to see the protagonist return to the present. I like to see the modern time traveler return to the present, but it's too lonely. It would be great if the ending is that Xiaoqi can reunite with everyone's reincarnations (Chicken Soup Dumplings. Jpg)
😭😭Xiao Qi... How about staying out of it? I have lived in the Zhou Dynasty all my life. I have lived and interacted with the emperor, Empress Xuan, Zhi Yi, Xia Fuyang, Xi Zixing and other family and friends. It all really happened. How can I stay away? I think I am a visitor from outside the world. I cannot and should not be with him. The people in the play build a deeper friendship, but they don't know that they have already entered the situation and can't get away😭😭Xiao Qi, I wish you were from Zhou Dynasty😭Would it be too lonely to be so special... After watching it, I felt astringent in my heart, and I didn't know that I was a guest in my dream😭😭Can such endless emotions really be tolerated by people?
I'm still crying after 5 brushes😭😭😭
26.10.11 Second brush completed What a sigh
I forgot about this extra chapter. I feel disappointed when I read it again...
This is my first time to write a review. It's really, really beautiful. The family love, friendship, and the emotions between the dog and the protagonist are very tearful. I've been reading for about 10 years. It's really a rare and good article.
I'm rewatching it. I don't think I've seen this episode before and I'm still so sad.
Author, why are you like this 😭 😭 😭 Why do you still hand out knives in the end?
