Irresistible Bottoms and Exquisite Writing
After years of sampling irresistible-everyone stories, I’m keeping track of some great reads. Ongoing updates.
Top Recommendations: Bottom Leads and No CP
Very few gen stories. I love nonhuman characters, quick transmigration, and infinite-flow stories. I don’t read campus stories or the most popular titles. I like enemies-to-lovers stories with mutual opposition and happy endings. I regularly clear out finished series, so check the comments on the list.
Personal Kinks: Pure Love, Receptive-Protagonist or No-Romance Male Leads
A collection of books I personally like, so I can find them again later. I may sound blunt, but this is my list, not an author’s comments section. I’ve never posted in the comments section.
No-Couple Recommendations
No-CP, all kinds of genres, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Everyone has different tastes, so you have to read it to know if you'll like it. Don't worry about the ratings.
My Favorites: Bottom-Centric BL and No Men
I like saviors, battle-worn characters, white-moonlight characters, tragic beauties, discipline, and power couples. Not into cutesy, soft bottoms, excessive breathy baby talk, walls of appearance descriptions, muscular bottoms, or aloof bottoms.
Mainly Seme POV / Male Lead 2.0
Includes, but isn't limited to: everyone loves the protagonist, misinterpretation tropes, pampered tops, dominant tops with no romantic pairing, straight tops, powerful tops, tops who get hurt physically but not emotionally, cold-hearted tops, and puppy-like tops.
Mutual Pampering, Prefer Tops / No Romance
No guarantees on plot or writing, just that the top is somewhat dominant. I avoid bottoms who are possessive, clingy, or have children. Mutual devotion is fine. I’m okay with no bed scenes, or with scenes where the top suffers, as long as the bottom isn’t possessive.
Quick Transmigration Collection
Torture the body, but not the heart. Moonlight lovers and cinnabar-mole exes are fine, but no stand-ins. A low social status is fine, but not low intelligence. Banter is fine, but no obnoxious over-the-top antics.
A Deep Dive into My Reading Preferences: Reading Logs
Entirely subjective. This is a list of stories I've skimmed, not recommendations. There's a very high chance they include sickly characters, coercion, battle damage, a white moonlight, a sense of ease, fake angst, secret identities, martyrdom, self-destruction, and similar elements.
Sickly, Self-Destructive, and PTSD
A collection of the list maker’s trashy personal preferences. Some are fanfiction, some are original, and they cover a huge range. They’re all books I reread; barring surprises, they’re all BL.
Quick Transmigration (Mostly Tragic Villains and White-Moonlight Characters)
Beautiful, strong, tragic, sickly white-moonlight villains; danmei, with both real and fake angst; stories from both the top and bottom's perspectives. Not suitable for fans of any particular character type. Also includes other kinds of quick transmigration.
Danmei Recommendations
I've read and liked every book here. All kinds of genres, mostly danmei, with a few non-CP stories.
My Favorite No-CP Stories, Mostly with Male Leads
Some have romantic interest or ambiguous relationships, but they all end with no CP. I lose interest after about three minutes and usually only read the first three-quarters, so I can’t vouch for the later quality. I can only say the beginning is good.
Male-Protagonist Stories
Quick transmigration, anime crossovers, TV and film crossovers, derivative fiction
Heartbreak on Jinjiang Literature City
Carefully selected angsty stories. Today I'm a tearful tomato (B-tier list; if something isn't B-tier, the System must be mistaken).
The Beauty of BE
No-CP stories with a tragic-beauty aesthetic. The more heartbreaking, the more I love them, though there are one-sided crushes. Real stories can leave you unable even to cry, which is why I love tragic stories about beautiful, strong, doomed characters.
No CP 1.0
No romance. A mixed bag, not many modern or historical stories, no entertainment industry or sports stories, and lots of fanfiction. Pouring out my complaints here... (I'll keep updating if I'm unhappy. Once it's full, that means it's finished!)
Many-Lovers Shou
I’m a one-stop shop for loving both top and bottom characters, but I prefer the top. I also read about pampered wives when I’m in the mood for it. I prefer charismatic male leads who are universally adored and have a personality of their own.
Powerful, Handsome, Irresistible Bottoms
For my own reference, since I have a bad memory. My personal tastes lean toward the dark side.
Misunderstanding-Focused Fake Angst
A record of things I've read or whose descriptions seemed like a good fit. Whether I consider something angsty is purely subjective. Whether it will make me cry is another matter. I don't read derivative fanworks.
Quick Transmigration
Funny or heartwarming.
Eclectic Reading Log (Could Rename This My Abandoned Books Log)
I don't care if the protagonist is a man, a woman, a human, or a dog. As long as I can get that irresistible protagonist vibe, I might keep reading.
My Personal Avoid List: Authors or Books with Scandals or Bad Endings
Stories I couldn’t get into, or ones with dealbreakers, drama, or just no appeal to me. Keeping track so I don’t step into the same trap again.

Translated by Google Translate
Because the previous scene with characters involved sensitive topics such as AI, I changed it. There were many inappropriate things about my speech before this. As an original author, I was not aware of the possible harm caused by AI infringement, and my speech stained this article (this is the saddest part for me). But if I make a mistake, I will correct it. I am willing to bear the consequences and any subsequent negative impact it may have on this novel. I also apologize for my inappropriate remarks before - I'm sorry (bow)
After reading the whole story, overall it's quite enjoyable. At least I like Pei Chu's character, the plot is reasonable, and the characters are well-rounded. It was already finished when I read it. In the comment section of the first chapter, it can be said that my favorable opinion of the entire article dropped significantly. It was not because of how well it was written, but because I simply didn't like to get involved in the turmoil. But I still finished reading it, and my evaluation is in line with my definition of good-looking. I spent money to read the novel, and others are not qualified to judge whether I support it. I don't care about the controversy, I only care about the story. After all, I am just a fool who fell into the story. So what if there is an ending and everything is turned upside down?
Woohoo, it was so well written, I really wanted to cry, the ending is really healing [crying]
Every life will not end well! ! ! ! Cry me to death! ! ! ! !
Looking forward to the second part! ! ! ! It looks good. I like it very much.
After following the complete text, I can clearly feel that Dada's writing has improved by leaps and bounds. From a novice at the beginning to a master at the end... How did Dada improve? Please give me a tutorial.
Oh my God, it's so good. I'm so lucky to come across this book. The writing and plot are both excellent. I won't say more, I'm going to read the extras! Really good-looking! [Crying]
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so he is not dead?
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh it's so beautiful, be the eternal God!
Every world is too tiring and miserable. Can't we give Chuchu an ending where he can end his mission and have a good rest and not become a villain?
