[Romance] A Complicated Mix That Keeps You Coming Back
Books I've reread two or three times. I read both fan works and original stories, and enjoy nonhuman characters, steamy romance, dark and obsessive love, harem endings, and absurd humor. Includes a few older pure-love stories and enemies-to-lovers plots.
Couldn't Stop Reading Until the End (Romance/No Romance)
My tastes are all over the place. Recommending novels that hooked me and kept me reading straight through. Romance or no-couple stories, but the female lead has to be the protagonist!
2025–26 Reading Roundup
Some stories I read in 2025 and 2026, collected here as a record and summary. My brief reviews are purely subjective. The comments section is for dropped stories. I got busy in 2026, so I read less and added those here too.
Incredible Nonhuman Characters! I Recommend These Everywhere!
Mainly recommending BG/BL, updated regularly. My personal tastes affect the recommendation ratings. (Nonhuman characters need to feel truly nonhuman. Even if they don’t, their love should at least transcend species.)
Delicious BG
Leaning toward novel worldbuilding, with a bigger focus on romance and a little infrastructure-building and leveling-up ^o^ Includes my personal brief reviews. Ongoing updates...
This Is the Kind of Satisfying Rise to Power I Like
Female leads who are in positions of power. Pure wish fulfillment, a must-read for stress relief.
A Book List Full of Energy
Hope you find a fun read here!
I Read Everything
Books I absolutely love, all rated five stars. Since they are no longer updating, the reviews are all over the place.
Human-Nonhuman BG Romance
I prefer true nonhuman characters, not the kind who can turn completely human
[BG] Nonhuman Love Interests
Every genre imaginable. The one constant is non-human male leads. The degree of non-humanity varies. Since I was desperate for something to read, this may include male ghosts too, since technically they are no longer human after dying, haha.
Beastfolk, Otherworlds, and Primitive Settings

My Reading Slump List
Personal recommendations for when you're in a reading slump. My tastes are all over the place. There are a few more I haven't added because I got locked out before I could find them.
Nonhuman Protagonists
I love all kinds of nonhuman elements: monsters, demons, ghosts, and animal traits. Includes BL and BG. Five stars means highly recommended, four stars means good, and three stars means dull but good for passing the time.
Surprisingly Good Reads
Detective Conan fanfic, danmei, and Western fantasy romance
A Reading List for Duoduo
Pick out some good books for your little sister. Stop sneaking onto Mom's phone browser to read stuff like "The Obsessive CEO's Precious Little Darling" and "The CEO's Darling Wife," okay?
Nonhuman Characters
What I love about nonhuman characters is their inhuman quality. If they don't have that, they need some other compelling point. Most importantly, ideally they're hopeless romantics.
One-on-One Romance
A collection of one-on-one romances I’ve read three or four times.
Re-Read Romance, BG, Everyone Loves the Protagonist, and Nonhuman Stories
A mix of one-on-one romances, harem stories, and some old-school novels. They're all ones I've loved enough to reread countless times, spanning past and present, East and West, Western fantasy, ancient settings, and both human and nonhuman characters.
A Collection of Cozy, Sweet Reads
Cozy, healing short stories with light, natural prose and no glaring plot holes. Though, do fairy tales even need logic?
Otome Romance, Not Just About Love
Otome-oriented / one-sided crushes / dark and twisted love. I prefer clever, charming heroines. A spirited, mischievous one like Huang Rong would be an instant winner, but there are obviously very few on this list.
Hidden Gems I Unearthed
Great stories I've dug up from all sorts of obscure corners
Romance Reading List for Personal Use
All kinds of genres: apocalypse, business, infrastructure building, historical-inspired, mythology-inspired, future worlds, Qing dynasty transmigration, anime crossovers, and all sorts of other things.
Female Protagonist Stories (A Little Cultish?)
A somewhat eclectic collection of female-led novels I've read. I'll put them all together here.
Nonhuman Characters Collection
What's wrong with liking non-human characters? (Non-human/BG/GL/no CP)

Teacher, our Xiongxiong went to participate in the live broadcast and haven't we come back yet? Teacher [poor]
Help, Dad, when will you update?
The speed of updating cannot keep up with the speed of forgetting. I have almost finished reading this book since I first entered school...
It's almost three months, it's time for an update
Teacher, when will we meet next time Misha?
The little bear came to aunt's bowl [empty bowl] [empty bowl]
It was actually updated. I thought it was a trick on me.
So cute, so cute! Among all the furries, our bear is the cutest!
Hahahahahaha, the title of this chapter is "The Bear is Good at Positioning". Bears are very good at avoiding the camera [dog head]
Do you want to update it? I really like this book. I mean
