Only my personal preferences, with a soft spot for all kinds of fantasy and powerful couples.

A Little Bit of Everything

Dealbreakers: love triangles where readers pick a love interest, hard-to-ship couples, and bad writing.

Sound Values and an Exciting Plot (In My Opinion)

I love reading pure romance, and my favorite scenes are couples kissing, hehe (Honestly, they're all five-star reads, but apparently I can't give them all five stars. How annoying).

Great Reads, No Hardcore Shippers

TBR pile. I read widely, care about the plot, and am very attached to the protagonists. For romance, I like mutual devotion and couples who dote on each other, with both families being well-off. Mostly danmei; for straight romance, I only read stories where the male lead is a virgin. Danmei purity fans, check the content warnings.

A Collection of Mature Men

My own, not especially rigorous collection of danmei with mature male characters. Mostly urban stories. The collection may be incomplete. I recommend opening the relevant authors' profiles ().

Appreciating Great BL: Pure Love Edition

Couples are strictly one-on-one and endgame. No pairings that break up or reverse the ships I dream about, and no extreme top/bottom faction hardliners.

Stories That Feel Like Real Life

Slow-burn stories with good writing that I’ve read and can still remember. (Why does this feel like it’s turning into a column for Wu Zhe and Bu Wen Sanjiu?)

Little Sweet Treats (In My Opinion)

Light, sweet reads, in my opinion. I'm an omnivore, so I enjoy switch couples. Mostly BL, but some BG too.

You Are Not Actually Curing Your Dog-Loving Fetish

For my own use, with some commentary. I’m not devoted to any particular character type, and I don’t like character-split stories. I like puppy-like bottoms, insecure bottoms, and clingy bottoms; I don’t care for puppy-like tops, pretty boys, manly men, or mature men. I’m a fan of younger partners taking charge.

Great Reads, Mostly Male Leads, With Some Male Receivers and Switches

Whether the protagonist is the pursuer or the one being pursued is just a matter of perspective to me. I can't stand universally adored protagonists, regret-and-redemption arcs, love rivals competing for the same person, one-sided crushes, or weak protagonists who are bad in bed. Otherwise, I read all kinds of things and have all sorts of kinks (emphasis).

These are stories I think are worth rereading. As long as they’re good, I’m happy. I’ll read anything, with no particular preferences, as long as it’s entertaining and the values are sound.

Mind-Blowing and Delicious

I read pretty much everything, but I don't like weak gong characters (weak in bed counts too), and I prefer less melodrama. I'll keep updating this list when I have time :)
