Women-Dominated Society / Weak Men / Girl-Boy Love
Stories with very clingy, hopelessly lovestruck male leads...
Girl-Boy Fiction
I’ll add more as I go~ Sharing whenever I feel like it
A Woman's Pick of Four-Love Stories (Mostly Gender-Bender)
Haven't finished exploring them all yet. Includes GB and BG, with male leads getting hurt, GB, and strong women with supportive male partners.
Give Me Female Gong
I like stories where the focus, high points, and main plot revolve around the heroine, with mildly obsessive but harmless male leads. I avoid stories where the male lead is the center of everything or where everyone is excessively protective of the guys.
Delicious Reads ^^
An extreme pure-love purist. I dislike stereotypes. I have pretty weird tastes.
GB Stories I Love
Books I like
A GB Reader's Favorites (Xianxia / Alternate Worlds)
Female-dominant worlds, strong heroines, and puppy-like male leads. Crying male leads are the tastiest, and bashfulness is the best blush (includes gender-bender erotica and mentally strong heroines).
Sweet Stories Centered on the Female Lead
Stories centered on the female lead herself, covering her career, family, friendships, and romance. The male lead is a minor character, a supportive partner, or just there to watch.
Female-Centric GB
No frustrating "the food's good, but the people are stuck in the kitchen" feeling. You can enjoy these without a care.
Girl X Boy Stories
A place to save the GB stories I’ve bought, and to collect recommendations too
The Little Author's Gender-Bender and Matriarchal Stories
I think these books deserve way more readers. It breaks my heart to see how few people have saved them, so whatever, I’m giving them a boost. Ignore my star ratings; everything on this list is something I think is good.
True Gender-Bender Romance!
Get lost, spiritual gender-bender nonsense! I’ll stomp out every last one of them!! No switching roles, no picking up someone else’s trash!!
Emotion-Focused Stories
Sincere love
Female-Centric Harem Romances with Male Rivals and Trained Dogs, Including Gender-Bender
Female-centered\kink-focused\Mary Sue\everyone's favorite\male rivalry\love-triangle drama\the subordinate oversteps\obedience training\elite academy\powerful men humbled by love
Girl-on-Boy, Women-Dominated Worlds, Men in Anguish, Hopeless Female-Lead Fan
I'm fragile and can't stand the heroine suffering even a little. I'm a hardcore heroine stan and love seeing men get tortured. Everything gets five stars.
Gender-Bending, Matriarchy, Strong Female Leads
I'll read stories that torment either the male or female lead, but my favorite is messing with the male lead ^_^
Female-Led, Daughter-Loving, Male-Lead-Torturing, Harem Rivalry Showdowns
Both GL and BG, picked to taste.
Books I Read a While Ago
Just keeping a record of stories I read in the past. I often drop them halfway through, so I’ll add them gradually.
Ancient China
Historical
My Type A
Fits my preferences
Delicious GB, GL, and BG, with a Little No-Female-Lead
I read most of these a long time ago, so I can only rate them based on my impressions. Many feature mutual firsts. GL is fine, but for romance novels, the male lead must be a virgin. The only exception I can accept is an NP story with one or two non-virgin men.
Romance
Recommending some romance novels I've enjoyed.

Bought it all for the Empress. I don't like reading about academies, but here I can accept it because half of the academy belongs to women. I like the talented female characters in the novel. They are not limited to the small place of "home", but write their own lives in the vast world illuminated by the sun and moon. It is not like other articles where only men can be seen everywhere. Some people may say that this is fantasy, but which novel is not fantasy? In this case, why don't the literature on the market even write about this fantasy of gender equality? The Emperor Wu's dynasty obviously existed, but I haven't seen many stories set with her dynasty as the background. It's rare to see an article about a virtuous woman overthrowing a dynasty of mediocre men, so I read it non-stop and ordered it all. There are also settings for the female protagonist and the male protagonist. Although the male protagonist is a bit too weak in my opinion, the female protagonist is the setting I like. After all, the current literature about strong women, no matter how strong she is, will only write about her "shyness" when it comes to love affairs and let her passively bear it, as if writing about her taking the initiative to kiss a man will cause the memorial to be smashed down. They can write about her strength, but dare not write about her human desires. They acknowledge her gender, but not her sexuality as a human being. Or they just let her fuck him from behind regardless of the category. Those who don't know think they are engaging in reproductive worship. There really isn't just one kind of xp, 4i. Women really don't need to borrow penises or phantom limbs to make men happy. Please watch more heterosexual relationships. I have taken the trouble to mention this situation several times. It is really boring now. There is no sexual tension at all. It always looks like an AV perspective, pointing the camera at the female protagonist and focusing on describing her reaction. I really wonder whether I am watching a male video or a female video. Why is the female video author obsessed with watching the woman's intimate reaction instead of the male protagonist? I really don't understand. I give the author a big thumbs up here. Although I prefer the back-and-forth between the female protagonist and the male protagonist, the writing here is great. At least the "lens" is focused on the male protagonist, not the "lens" on the female protagonist like when it is written for men. It's nonsense, but I agree with it anyway, give the author a big thumbs up [Show me your heart]
Although my XP is the crying male lead, when I saw the male lead giving birth and thinking he was going to die, he had to hide it from the female lead, and I hoped that she would not have to bear the guilt for the rest of her life, I hoped to stop abusing her and let him have his wish. He bet with his life, but he was afraid that she would feel guilty. Fortunately, he won the bet. You Zhaoyi finally understood what love is. The unfair treatment and abandonment of her parents planted the seeds of resentment in her heart at the age of six and almost ruined her life. Fortunately, there was a person who was favored by Xiaguang, like an elf wandering in the world, who put her soul back together again. The young man sitting on the threshold finally no longer has to wait in fear for someone who doesn't know when he will come back.
I still can't accept that the empress died like this. During the days and nights in the imperial temple, did you ever think that the empress died unexpectedly, or even died so tragically? He was a wise emperor who had worked hard for 20 years, and he was only 30 years old when he died. They were both so kind and deeply in love.
I finished reading it in one go. Zhuo Zhuo is really good. Ah Xun's love is so passionate. The one who made me cry most unforgettably was the late emperor, the late emperor Xuanyi. Such a wise and majestic monarch died in the most tragic way at the hands of his younger brother who grew up with me. It's really..., I want to cry every time I see the part about the late emperor.
After reading it, I like the character of the male protagonist who can't live without the female protagonist hahahaha
I have been reading novels for more than ten years. From the pirated versions when I was a student to the genuine ones now, from the heroine relying on the hero to the heroine relying on her own light to gain the hero's appreciation, they are all very well written, but not what I particularly like. Later, when I started watching the heroine, I felt like it just reversed the identities of men and women. In fact, it was difficult for me to get involved. I felt that the heroine I wanted to watch was not like this. The author writes really well. I imagine the heroine to be like this. She is affectionate and righteous, has her own pursuits, explores her own path, and finds herself. She can choose the lifestyle she wants, whether it is a career, idleness, or daily necessities. The male protagonist is not necessarily dependent. He is also very good, and he is not like traditional boys. I feel that "love" is just the icing on the cake. It's such a mess and I don't know what I'm going to say, but I think it's really good! Immortal product!
Will you publish a book? I really like it. The main and deputy CPs in it are very touching.
Wuwuwu the best emperor and the late emperor
Mom [crying] It's so beautiful, and so touching. I've read the other one, but I didn't seem to have seen it at the time. I stopped reading it when I entered V. This one is obviously the first one, why is it so good-looking? The heroine is really very very very charming. And the various stories are really very flesh-and-blood, the kind that will touch my heart for a long time after reading it. I think at least there are a few characters like the late emperor who really made me cry [ burst into tears ] [ burst into tears ] [ burst into tears ] It's amazing, it's really amazing. Although it is not as free as it was at that time, I am very happy that I can order all of such a good book.
Nbrush Yang Yuanyi has a great feeling for this pair! I hope there will be a similar book in the future
