Hello, I'm Here for a Bite of a Handsome Bottom

Handsome bottoms means handsome-looking bottoms. These are some less popular handsome-bottom stories with no more than ten thousand bookmarks. I only read mutually doting sweet stories. I avoid the bottom taking the top role and weak tops. I prefer bottoms with lean muscles over bulky builds.

There are countless great books out there, but these are my personal all-time favorites that I’m keeping to myself!

Bottom-Led Stories

Books I personally think are great. Includes a few with dual POVs. Updated occasionally. No content warnings (nothing bothers me).

Re-Read and Fully Purchased

A simple rating list. I'll gradually add reviews. Purely subjective, and only judging the books themselves. Public opinion isn't part of my criteria, so don't come at me. A book only makes the list if I've read it more than twice.

Absolutely Delicious

Transmigrating into a book, rebirth, non-human characters, ABO, cultivation, supernatural, political intrigue, secret crushes, the Fourth Calamity, marriage first and love later, simmering tension, goofy comedy, sworn enemies, and the entertainment industry

Warm, Healing Stories Focused on Relationships

Come back and take another look sometime. It feels like such a shame that stories this good have so few saves. I'm amazed I managed to find all these gems. I must be incredible...

Sweet Romance | Modern Danmei | 1

Deeply dependent on sweet BL stories, but fine with a little angst. A big collection of contemporary danmei, rated three to five stars. If a book isn’t fully purchased, it’s because I didn’t buy the extras. Couldn’t let it go, so I made a second list.

Fully Purchased, Rated 9 or Above: Bottom-Protagonist Stories, Part 1

It's been so long since I read many of these that I don't remember the plots, so I'm filling in the ratings first. I'll add comments as I reread them, though they'll be extremely subjective ramblings. I generally don't read alternate-universe stories.

Great BL (Almost All Bottom-Led)

Saving some books I'd reread or thought were pretty good. A mixed bag, mostly shou-focused or unclear.

Older Top Compilation

I favor older, emotionally stable tops and straightforward, sincere, adorable bottoms, though not every story fits that mold. Most are told from the bottom's perspective; stories with top POV will be labeled.

Handpicked Great Reads: You Won't Regret Giving Them a Chance

Mostly sweet stories, with mutual feelings that aren’t always perfectly equal. The content warnings aren’t exhaustive, but I’ve done my best. I’m an omnivore. No extreme anti-KK or extreme CPJ fans, please.
