Pure Love, Mutual Devotion (All-Pairings Version)

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.

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).

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
