Some BL Road Trip Story Reviews

I went looking for a reason to indulge. I've done a bit of a sweep through the road-trip novels on Jinjiang (not really). Anyway, this list is ongoing. I'll keep reading road-trip stories and adding them here.

Lighthearted Farming Road Trip Novels

Come have a sip of warm, comforting soup, enjoy a relaxing home-cooked meal, and set off on an adventure of our own!

Mutual, Pure Love (Check the Blurb for Warnings)

My tastes are all over the place. As long as the couple are in a 1v1 relationship and truly love each other, with strong mutual feelings, I’m in. M3 and KK who only like S/G, run if you don’t want to get upset. Hardcore fans of equal treatment, beware.

Sweet Reads I Personally Enjoy

Cozy mutual pampering, no angst. I just want some sweet fluff, without worrying too much about the logic and such. Whether you're an extreme top or bottom fan, this isn't for you. I don't understand those labels.

Books Under 200,000 Words, Version 3.0

Under 200,000 characters. A mixed bag, mostly danmei. Proceed at your own risk if you're sensitive. Currently, these are over 150,000 and under 180,000 characters.

All Fully Purchased

The World I Love...

Slowly exploring Jinjiang's road-trip stories... This isn't a recommendation list, just a personal record.

Fully Completed Series

I'm an omnivore with no particular preferences. I can't handle awkward writing or really over-the-top melodrama. My priorities are writing > characterization ≥ plot. Feel free to recommend books in the comments.

Romance and Tenderness

Stories to take your time with, with a slice-of-life feel. Beneath their calm surface, they offer warmth and beauty, with an extraordinary sense of romance and tenderness shining through every line.

Pure Love: Everyday Romance

Pure love, everyday life, relationship-focused, mutual devotion, usually from the bottom's perspective

Good Eats

I've personally tried every one of these. This is my shocking-delicious series. The SKs are readable, but that's just my personal opinion and has nothing to do with the authors' identities (this is important).

Beautiful, Fun, Warm, and Romantic, Mostly Modern

Fun, lovely, warm, and romantic. A fun, beautiful soul wrapped in warm affection.

Bottom-Centric Content Warnings: Avoiding Duds

Shou-focused content warnings: includes unfaithful gongs, shous pursuing gongs, stand-ins, reader discretion advised, spotlight-stealing moments, friends-and-family squads, and explosive preview chapters. Nothing against the authors, unless they're GLM.

Absolutely Brilliant Reads

Brilliant ideas or brilliant plots (personal subjective preference). This is my personal list, and the descriptions are pretty casual. If you found it, this list and you were meant to be =w=

Reading Notes

For my personal records only, purely personal reviews. Not recommended reading. A roundup of completed books I've checked out. These are negative reviews! Panning for gold in the dregs, just jotting down my thoughts.

One Star: Major Turn-Offs | Two Stars: Couldn't Finish

From afar, it looks like a gathering of great minds. Up close, it’s a meeting of gossipmongers.

Unforgettable, Delicious Reads (Mostly Bottoms)

Some books I can’t stop thinking about… The writing is excellent. I didn’t give them five stars because of the System’s restrictions, but they’re all great reads

Sweet Romance | Modern Danmei | 1

Deeply dependent on sweet BL stories, but fine with a little angst. A big collection of contemporary danmei, rated three to five stars. If a book isn’t fully purchased, it’s because I didn’t buy the extras. Couldn’t let it go, so I made a second list.

Pure Love BL, All Volumes Purchased

Danmei I like, excluding Musuli's books (all five-star reads)

Great Reads

Shou Leads Are the Best

Tops who dote on their bottoms, adorable bottoms, bottoms adored by everyone, and bottoms who don't suffer.
