Short, Sweet Bedtime Reads

Strongly recommend reading these before bed (I unexpectedly found so many hidden gems, most of them free, sweet short reads). Update: a few of the longer ones do cost money, though.

Feudal-Era CPJ Reads, Mostly Gentle and Reserved

I'm good with either the gong or the shou as the lead. Most pairings are mutually devoted and each other's first and only. I only read about couples falling in love. Dealbreakers: harem protagonists, side characters getting too much spotlight, and secondary couples.

Top-Focused

I'm doomed. I've caught the main-character-as-top bug. I made this list to keep track of main-character-as-top stories I personally think are pretty good. Sorry if they aren't to your taste.

For Bottom Moms' Personal Use (Promoting Correct Values Edition

Focused on soft, gentle bottom characters. I’m a sucker for sweet couples and won’t accept trashy tops. Who reported me?

Equal-Treatment Fans Welcome, CPJ Fans Also Welcome

To me, balanced characterization means the author puts about the same effort into developing both characters. When I say a story leans toward the gong or shou, I'm talking about how fully fleshed out the characters are.

Some Top-POV Stories I Really Like

Gong-focused, with mutual pampering or the gong pampering the shou. I love couples who only have eyes for each other... Deal-breakers: weak gongs, pushy gongs, clingy gongs, and one-sided pampering of the gong by the shou.

Classic, Mainstream Semes

No TGC. Includes top POV and dual POV stories, mostly couples who dote on each other or tops who dote on their bottoms (there’s also a list of stories to avoid).

Top-Led Stories

Books I personally think are great. Updated occasionally. No content warnings (nothing bothers me).

Top-Centric, Mutual Pampering, Slightly Bottom-Leaning (1)

Stories that seem mutually doting or lean toward the shou are usually fine for me. These are ones I could keep reading and felt might lean toward the shou. I don't follow up to see if the author later changes direction.

Sweet, Mutual-Adoration Stories with Top Leads

All stories are from the gong's perspective. I like couples who dote on each other. Harem magnet characters are a hard no. Read according to your own preferences.

Top-Led Danmei

They're just so delicious that I had to recommend them... (But I'm a mutual-doting shipper and an expert at keeping things balanced. Some are top-focused, but might not suit top-only fans or people who lean toward tops (awkward finger-pointing)).

Reading Log: Top

For my own reference. I've also put books I've removed from my favorites here. I prefer strong gong and strong shou, and can't stand weak, whiny gong or weak shou.

Even After We Part, I Still Look Back a Hundred Times

Gong-centric, completed books that I reread and revisit again and again. The story ends, but the readers remain in the pages. There are many more, but some have been locked, and there's nothing I can do about that.

Urban Fiction

I love watching grown-ups dance around their feelings, while everyone else gets fairy-tale romance.
