Romance-Focused BG

A lot of romance

Level A

Things I've Read, A Mixed Bag, Female-Lead Fan

Male leads must be chaste. I’ll write more about the ones I like and remember well, including what I liked or disliked. I might not finish every book I start following, but I’ve read at least 60% of everything on this list.

Toxic Husband Fiction with Male Rivalry

By 'toxic husbands,' I mean all those scheming men who, when they fail to win the heroine's favor, brood in the shadows and feel sorry for themselves, suspect other men of seducing her, and act like 'they're just a hotel, but I'm home'

A Woman's Reading List

Mostly BG, plus one GB. Feel-good stories, angst, female tops, and love for love-triangle showdowns.

Delicious BG Romance

Entirely my personal preferences. I like sincere, down-to-earth heroines or heroines who grow over time.

A Chaste Heroine Fan's Rant

I really can't take it anymore. I didn't want to criticize the author, who worked hard writing the story, so I made a rant list, but then I got fed something awful for no reason. I can't stand it anymore. These are all personal opinions; I haven't gone to the comments to shove them in anyone's face.

Romance Novels for Female-Lead Fans

There is a romance. The male lead is devoted and emotionally subordinate, and the female lead has at least some feelings for him too. None of those crazy guys who make the female lead miserable by treating her like a prop.

Level A

The End of Chasing Your Wife Is Dying Together

The female lead dies or nearly dies for someone.

Level B

The Female Lead Is Number One (No Modern Romance)

A fantastic female lead and a wonderfully original story

Level B

A Mixed Bag of BG

Still a high concentration of dark, brooding men... Beware if you have a thing for men.

Level C
45Books25Follows9dUpdated

Angsty Romance

Male characters get angst, though sometimes the female lead does too. I've been reading for 14 years; these are all books I thought were good, and there are plenty more I haven't added. Some may be limited by the era they were written in.

Chaste Male Lead, Female Lead Takes Charge of the Relationship

I can't stand unfaithful men, women being abused, or soul transmigration. I like distinctive, charismatic heroines. I like harems with an intelligent, captivating heroine.

2026: Bottom Leads, Female Leads, and No CP

Currently following these stories. Both romance and BL, with a focus on the female lead or the shou. I avoid side CPs, shous who turn gong, and gong-gong flirtation.
