Mostly a record of stories I’ve read. I enjoy seme-focused, uke-focused, and switch pairings. I’m not GK or SK, and I’ll read pretty much any genre. My only deal-breaker is when the main couple doesn’t love each other enough.
Switch Couples, Power Couples
What bothers me is either half of a mutually topping couple having been topped by someone else. I really can't handle that, at least not yet. It feels too intimate. I'll include content warnings.
Top-Led Mutual Pampering / Top-Focused / Versatile Couples Who Pamper Each Other
Saving this for my own tastes (every so often I get a sudden craving for something pretty out there)
Mark This If You Like Couples Who Spoil Each Other
I’m a mutual-spoiling fan and a devoted shipper. I’m not your typical fence-sitter, and I’m a little biased toward tops, though I can accept the occasional bottom too. I can’t stand everyone falling for the same character, one-sided feelings, unbalanced emotional investment, or control freaks. Control freak fans, get lost.
Switching Tops
For rereading. (Give me back my full-payment access to the locked chapters!!!)
Great Reads, Mostly Male Leads, With Some Male Receivers and Switches
Whether the protagonist is the pursuer or the one being pursued is just a matter of perspective to me. I can't stand universally adored protagonists, regret-and-redemption arcs, love rivals competing for the same person, one-sided crushes, or weak protagonists who are bad in bed. Otherwise, I read all kinds of things and have all sorts of kinks (emphasis).
Romance Between Mature Men
I like reading about love between mature men
What This Omnivorous Reader Is Eating (Bought All)
Personal reviews and long-form recommendations, trying to be kind. I like both the warm and the cold; lots of kinks, few squicks. I enjoy all sorts of pairings and ships, and welcome recommendations in the comments.

Finished Stories with Versatile Couples
Switches, completed, and all chapters purchased. Taking my time with these. My tastes are all over the place; I add each book after I finish it. I also include vers.
Five-Star Favorites
Only my personal preferences, with a soft spot for all kinds of fantasy and powerful couples.
My Personal Reading Log
An old-school top-lover (not a eunuch) and a devoted shipper. I prefer equally matched couples and read whatever strikes my fancy, so this list reflects a lot of personal taste. Writing reviews to stave off senility (.)
Mutual Topping Is So Satisfying
Switch stories are the best! 0.5 is the best! What a delicious meal
The Protagonist Is a Top, Not a Top-Control Freak, Just Helpless Against Bottom-Controlled Authors
For fellow dealbreaker-watchers: just check the reader comment IDs to solve 99% of your problems. Anyone get me?
Fully Completed Series
I'm an omnivore with no particular preferences. I can't handle awkward writing or really over-the-top melodrama. My priorities are writing > characterization ≥ plot. Feel free to recommend books in the comments.
Versatile Couples
Mutual-top novels.
Just Let Me Have a Bite: Pure Boys' Love Best-Of List
Selfcest / switching / nonhuman characters / older tops / AA romance / handsome tops and pretty bottoms / rivals-to-lovers / emperors. Comforting kinks are what matter most. Finished and fully read, highly recommended: worth every penny.
Books I've Read
I want to keep a record of the stories I’ve read that are pretty good and worth checking out.
Writing Style
The writing is superb, and the characters are fully realized, never flat. Words that touch the heart.
Switch Couples
Only recommending stories with switch couples, all from my bookshelf or reading list. I’m not very picky, and for me, switch couples can make up for any dealbreakers, so my warnings may be missing or inaccurate.
Personal Favorites
For keeping track of my own dealbreakers
Switch Couples
I just want to read about couples falling in love. Can't we just stop labeling who's gong and who's shou?
My Favorite Mature Men and Slow-Burning Relationships
Cozy and healing, with the everyday warmth of life. A slow-burn, balanced power-couple romance where they dote on each other. Mature love. The blurbs are short because I read some of these so long ago (and I'm too lazy to write more).
Romance-Brained Readers Who Just Want to Read About Romance
I comment on both plot and romance. I read a lot and across all kinds of genres, so you'll have to decide for yourself whether they're your cup of tea. Some are recommended because I like the side couple, so read the reviews before diving in.
