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 ().

A Cat’s Flower Language Is First Come, First Served [BL]

[Historical danmei / modern danmei / mostly sweet, with little angst] Adorable catboy bottoms, all precious babies. (Five stars = reread for my own enjoyment.)

Books This Picky Reader Couldn't Stop Thinking About

BL. I love cute stories, but not stupidly naive heroines. Every book deserves five stars. Please follow my list~

A Bit of Everything, All Fully Purchased

I prefer melodramatic romance, stories focused on a couple, and easy, mindless wish-fulfillment reads. I haven't bought some in full because they have locked chapters

Books I've Read, Saved for Myself

Enjoyed these. Four stars means five stars, and three stars means four stars. This stupid System won't let me give five stars.

4.5 Stars and Up

Since 2022, I've been sorting these into four- and five-star reads. Worth rereading and savoring, and I like couples who are evenly matched.

Sweet Stories | Modern BL | ②

Heavily reliant on sweet BL stories, though I can handle a little angst. A big collection of modern-day BL, including three- to five-star reads. If I haven't bought the extras, I haven't fully subscribed.

Delicious! I’m Digging In!

I especially love second-chance romances, old flames rekindling, sickly characters, self-deprecating loyal puppy semes, and gentle semes. I love harem-protagonist ukes and beautiful, strong-but-tragic ukes. There are more seme-focused stories here, but as long as the writing is good, everything is good.

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?)

So Good, Worth Rereading Again and Again

I love stories with mutual affection, strong leads, humor, and ensemble casts. Some are so good I’ve reread them over and over.

BL with Lots of Romance That I Really Love

All personal favorites that I will reread countless times, adding more whenever I come across them. Most feature a bottom as the main character or have an unclear perspective. Stories with a top protagonist or switching will be marked.

Open to All Genres

The ones I personally think are good. A bit of everything: BG, BL, and no romance.

No Angst, Mostly Equally Matched Couples

My long reviews reflect my personal feelings and aren’t guaranteed to be completely fair. Please don’t take offense if I upset gong or shou fans! Let’s keep the internet friendly, speak civilly, and respect one another.

Ten Years of Reading Notes

A record of some great stories I've read on JJ. I love sweet romances and am a die-hard shipper. I'm happy with both relationship-focused and plot-driven stories. Older love interests, historical romance, food stories, and period dramas.
