No Sugarcoating at the Crime Scene

Top-Dom-leaning Romance and No-Romance Stories: Detailed List

Gong-focused stories (gong-led and shou-led), romance (male-oriented), and no-couple stories with male protagonists. The list above has my dealbreakers, and the comments have what I love.

I Lean Toward Seme, So Give Me a Break

Mutual pampering, with a preference for tops / dominant and submissive dynamics, beautiful and Mary Sue types, and gender-bent tops are all included. How much I favor them depends on the author, the characterizations, and the older bottom's attitude toward the top. My tastes change over time

Angsty Seme, Sickly Seme, Pica, Pretty Seme

Notes: Pretty Good

I only read 1v1. The star ratings are random, and a lot of these I read ages ago.

Completed BL

All full editions. The plot is inventive or the writing is solid. The protagonist, usually the bottom, isn’t saintly, made weaker for no reason, or deliberately feminized. Basically, they’re portrayed as an ordinary man.

Completed Purchase Commemorative Collection

For someone who rarely has the patience to finish a whole book, here's a list of the ones I bought in full, as a little memento [confetti]. Most are told from the gong's perspective, too.

Reading Log from a Seme-Leaning Perspective (4.0)

Preferences: doted-on gong, mostly top gong, gongs as wives, weak gongs, cross-dressing gongs, shou carrying gongs like babies, princess-carrying gongs, and all kinds of carrying gongs. Unusual setups and gongs who only pretend to be strong.
