Listening Downward, I Hear the Startling Wind

Novels Set in Ancient Times

Bottom-Led Reading List | Historical and Western Fantasy BL

I lean toward the receiving partner in BL and mainly care about how he's written. I want the giving partner to make the first move. I'm not too bothered by pretty or idealized giving partners, as long as the author doesn't imply in the narration that they want to kiss even if it means dying together. Check the comments for trigger warnings.

Old-School Tacky Romance

Completed BL Reading List (Mostly Bottoms)

I guess I lean toward stories with lovable bottoms (the author suddenly turning out to be problematic leaves me at a loss too). Includes all-around favorites and beloved group-pet dynamics, as well as couples’ everyday romance.

Just Plain Hilarious

I don’t care about the plot or romance. It’s just really funny.

My Classical-Style Reading List

A little collection of niche historical-style novels I keep for myself. I can't give them five stars...

Classic Feelings-Driven Sweet BL

Great Danmei (Bottom Edition)

I’m especially into stories with controlled, idealized bottom characters. Some of these don’t quite fit, but I think they’re all good stories (some have fantastic plots, even if the romance isn’t that great).

Xuanhuan, Fantasy, Xianxia

Immortals, gods, demons, ghosts, monsters, cultivation, and folk traditions.

A Grab Bag of BL Genres

A simple reading log. I add things whenever I remember. Some entries are blank or very short because I haven’t gotten around to writing more, except for the really popular ones. I’ll fill them in as I remember.

I’m So Here for These Couples, I’m So Here for Them

I'm a pure-hearted product of sisterhood, not a shipper for one side or the other, so please steer clear if you're a partisan :) My dream is to enjoy every adorable couple under the sun. I put these stories here because they're absolutely beloved.

Xianxia Cultivation

I dream of Wu and Yue, crossing Mirror Lake by moonlight in a single night.

Decent Writing, But Not My Cup of Tea

As the title says, some are popular and some aren't. I mostly only read the beginning, and I'm saving this list for myself.

Adorable Bottoms

A few babies I really love... (^^) I'll flag the points that are deal-breakers for me. I'm a bottom stan, with a preference for bottom-focused stories.

Save for Later

Some good, less popular novels I’ve read. They’re all four or five stars. Yep, that’s right, Red and White? really left me traumatized. I added a 99 to every review!!
