I Am a Guide

For My Own Use: Mary Sues / Ordinary Heroines / Dog Lovers

Transmigration/Western fantasy/historical romance. He (or they) must have done something amazing in a past life to meet this precious girl! Beloved treasures I'll reread again and again (not every title necessarily fits the description).

Chaste Male Lead, Female Lead Takes Charge of the Relationship

Thunder-type male lead, not sexually pure; female lead suffers abuse; soul transmigration; side couple. I like female leads with personality and charm. I love reading 1vN harem stories with a universally adored female lead where no one acts stupidly. The male lead must be a virgin and sexually pure. I absolutely refuse dirty cucumbers.

Comfort Food

Personal taste

Romance Novels I Remember (Not a Same-Author Compilation)

This list is even more eclectic: historical romance, sci-fi, modern romance, Western fantasy, and so on. Three- or four-star ratings may be somewhat useful as a guide.

Romance

Fanfiction Mary Sue Story Archive

I don't care about trigger warnings. I just want something readable! Keep the dull, clumsy, and rambling writing away! Long live Mary Sues! Mostly fanfiction.

Mostly Charming Everyone

All romance.

Who Couldn’t Fall for Her? (Character Fan)

Male-alluring protagonists, BG, otome-style, some abandoned works

Reviews of Books I've Read (For My Own Records)

Stories that passed you by over the years. Hope to meet you again among these novels to binge-read this cozy winter.

Stories I Like: Harem Protagonists, Otome, and Female-Top Dynamics

Mostly about my personal tastes

A Guide to Green and Sustainable Living

Men suffering, female-protagonist fans, female-led GB, lots of old, obscure novels

Romance Series I Never Get Tired of Rereading

(Come on in if you want some handpicked gems.) BG, all kinds of genres. No mistreating the female lead! Scumbag men, get lost. The heroines all shine!

The Goddess of BG in Ancient Egypt

For BG, it’s surprisingly difficult to find books that write the male lead well or portray the female lead as a complete, three-dimensional character. You really have to pan for gold in a pile of garbage. It’s hard to believe these are all female-oriented novels.

My Favorite Suwen

I have a soft spot for Mary Sues, love triangles, dark angst, and groveling exes. The more, the better! Mostly adding things I've read recently, as well as stories with few bookmarks.

A Little Sentinel-Guide Log

Just as the title says

My First Taste of Love!

Authors and works I have high hopes for.

Everyone Has a Crush on the Powerful, Oblivious One

All orientations welcome! Mostly strong leads, with their strength level noted. I like the slow, wooden type, and stories featuring cool, gentle healing figures, as well as dark, twisted spin-offs. A larger share are from Touken Ranbu, Genshin Impact, and Honkai: Star Rail. I'll keep updating.

A Little Reading Log and Some Recommendations

A bit of everything, but only from the female lead's perspective. I love dramatic love triangles and universally adored characters. I'll update the list from time to time. Hope it helps some fellow fans~ (￣?￣~)

Everyone's Favorite, Mary Sue, Feel-Good Reads

My Girl

A Hodgepodge

Ones I think are pretty good.

You Can't Leave Me Alone in This Rabbit Hole

Avid bathroom reader. I’ll remove books once they resume updating.

Everyone Falls for the Heroine Romance

Who could resist an otome-style harem-of-one? I like independent female leads.

The Ancient Egyptian God of Allure

Stories about beloved favorites and doted-on darlings are everywhere. Finding one with good writing feels like panning for gold in a sewer.

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.
