My Childhood Sweetheart is the real Human Disaster

Handsome Bottoms, Cool Bottoms, Heartthrob Bottoms, and More

Everything is based on the gong being handsome (if not, I’ve forgotten; I don’t like muscular bottoms, and I’m fine with both handsome and pretty gongs).

Some Novels I’ve Read With a Bottom Male Lead (For the Record)

Feel-good power fantasies plus sweet romance, with no angst in the relationship. Some have average plots but decent writing; others have average writing but plots I like. (The three-star rating means the writing is really bad.)

BL Collection (Archiving Fully Read Books)

I worked so hard to finish this, only to find out a reading list can only hold 100 books. T^T

Novels I've Bought in Full, Part 2

I mostly remember the potential dealbreakers, though there may be things that bother some people but don't bother me. I wrote longer reviews mainly to help readers avoid dealbreakers. I've bought every chapter, so I must like these stories.

Wholesome, Adorable, Irresistible, and Cherished Shou Leads

Some reviews are from before I became jaded. I used to be kind, too. Deal-breakers: unfaithful semes, low-quality semes, foul-mouthed semes, and semes who hurt the uke without facing any consequences. (Mostly here to find stories.)

Nonhumans, Let's Go!

Keeping track of some niche kinks. Some are in the stimulating category, while others are old-school sweet stories I read ages ago, best enjoyed without thinking too hard. Some are called nonhuman, though they feel a little borderline.

Chosen Nonhuman Characters

Healthy love is great, but the more twisted stuff is even more exciting

If Number 1 Isn't Good, How Did He Snag Such a Dreamy Wife?

Power couples. I prefer an overpowered bottom. Weak tops and weak bottoms are dealbreakers. Great ships, fun premises, and good writing and plots.

Beautiful Seme, Handsome Uke (Uke-Focused)

Based on my own tastes. My type is a beautiful/cute, short seme × a strong, handsome, swoon-worthy uke, but I’m an uke fan and uke-loyalist. Seme fans, stay away. Everyone has their own preferences; mine aren’t the same as yours.

Original Works I Have Read

Which book did I only read a little of? I’ll sort this out when I have time. I plan to write reviews. These aren’t all recommendations, just a record.

Satisfying, Indulgent Everyone-Loves-the-Protagonist Stories with Beautiful Leads

All the protagonists are great-looking. There are stories with a top protagonist, a bottom protagonist, and no pairing. Some are mindless fun, while others have actual plots. My tastes are pretty lowbrow, so people with lowbrow tastes are welcome to enjoy these recommendations.

Weird Kinks (Bottom-Focused)

Purely subjective, no judging by the hype. Star ratings are just personal taste; you won't know if it's for you until you read it. I read without thinking too hard and have few dealbreakers, so take this with a grain of salt. I'll add more as I think of them.

Stories with Handsome, Muscular Bottoms (Beautiful and Strong)

Both top and bottom roles. There may be descriptions of handsome characters, so don't read if that bothers you.

Mutual Pampering, Bottom-Leaning

Working my way through books and mainly keeping track of what I've read. I'll keep updating. It's not an A-tier list because some books are still ongoing.

Adorable Reads

Cute and cuddly.

Treasures from the Sea of Books (2025–2026)

Books I finished reading from 2025 onward, with reviews saved for my own reference.

Superpowers / ABO / Playing Dumb to Catch the Tiger: Feel-Good Reads

Keeping track of the good books I’ve read. Most are shou-centric. I’m not much for writing reviews, so:

Great Reads

Super, super, super good!

Couples I Could Read About Again and Again

Ten Years of Reading: A Record

Preferences: devoted-to-the-protagonist readers / strong leads working together / childhood friends / ensemble casts / everyone dotes on the protagonist. Mixed orientations, so check whether each story is BG or BL before reading.

Shou-Focused, Shou-Spoiling Reading List

For shou fans: strong shou and Mary Sue shou stories. Be warned, there’s lots of self-insert shou fantasy language! What’s that? A Mary Sue shou? Dream about it once, twice, then fall asleep dreaming. Anything can happen in a dream.

Books I've Bought and Finished (Eclectic Tastes)

Mostly happy endings, but not necessarily sweet. The angst is usually limited to a few scenes. I’ll read just about any genre. If something hits a nerve for me, as long as it’s not a matter of principle, I’ll mark it with three stars. If you’re extremely particular about your preferences, don’t click on my list.

Sweet Romance (Two Male Leads)

Super sweet.

Worth Coming Back For

Pure, unadulterated fun! Some are goofy or sweet, too.
