A Novelist's Guide to Saving Side Characters

Personal Save: My Kinks and Turn-Offs

My tastes are all over the place: secret identity | woman disguised as a man | no romance | gender-bender romance stand-ins | anime/manga and Western media crossovers | watching reactions | pairings |

Reading Log

I read pretty much anything. POV preferences: no CP ≈ bottom-centric > romance > top-centric ≈ yuri. Style preferences: plot > writing > genre > illustrations.

[For My Own Reference] Female-to-Male, Animal Transmigration, or Secret Identity

Includes original works and fanfiction. Female transmigrates into a male body, girls disguised as boys, multiple worlds, secret identities, watch-alongs, animals transmigrating into human bodies, no awkward identity reveals. The books that make it onto the list are already pretty well written.

[Top-Centric / No Romance]

Strong leads, an overpowered and gorgeous top, dom, snarky commentator, dog-coded and cat-coded, adorable cold beauty, strong-but-miserable, bking, self-delusional transformation, rivals on opposite sides, secret identities, narcissistic romance, ABO, and melodramatic angst. Please check for potential issues yourself.
