Pure Love, Mutual Devotion (All-Pairings Version)

Mostly a record of stories I’ve read. I enjoy seme-focused, uke-focused, and switch pairings. I’m not GK or SK, and I’ll read pretty much any genre. My only deal-breaker is when the main couple doesn’t love each other enough.

For My Own Use: Dual-Cleanse Only (Top or Bottom), Recs and Avoids

Both leads are devoted body and soul; both are strong; they dote on each other, with a preference for the gong (bottom). The family assets are locked down, and the romance is the focus. Beautiful gong, handsome shou; controlling gong, cool-guy shou. A feast! Can't stand everyone falling for one character or switch couples.

Great Protagonist-Top Stories

Good writing comes first! Great writing can make up for anything! I like dominant, powerful tops and bottoms with personality. I don't like bottoms who pretend to be aloof while secretly crushing on someone.

Mutual Devotion / Pure Love

Trying hard to be fair to both sides. No welcome for people who break up or reverse my preferred pairings, or extreme top/bottom loyalists. I’m not into irresistible protagonists, disposable background characters, competition for the heroine, weak-in-bed tops, groveling redemption arcs, dog training, bootlickers, or tailor-made content. Criticize the books, not the people.

Top's Perspective, Sweet Romance, Mutual Devotion

Mutual pampering, with both sides deeply devoted to each other. Thunderously over-the-top everyone-loves-them tops and bottoms, weak tops, sexually weak tops, loyal-dog bottoms, and muddleheaded tops. Includes both recommendations and warnings.

Mind-Blowingly Delicious Products, No KK!!!

No KK. I’m an omnivore, and I like sweet XPL stories. I prefer plot-focused stories where the plot matters at least as much as the romance. I won’t accept an unequal relationship in any form.

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 :)

Feudal-Era CPJ Reads, Mostly Gentle and Reserved

I'm good with either the gong or the shou as the lead. Most pairings are mutually devoted and each other's first and only. I only read about couples falling in love. Dealbreakers: harem protagonists, side characters getting too much spotlight, and secondary couples.

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).

First Love

Years later, I’ll still remember how much I loved it. Full subscription, five stars. It has all kinds of styles, and everything about it is simply because I love it.

A Reading Log of BL Lovers Who Both Love and Hate Each Other

Love-hate relationships, including sworn enemies, equally matched leads, being each other’s one and only, special bonds, possessiveness, and control. Making a list so I can reread them easily.

Locals Falling in Love

Some relatively obscure stories about strong, well-matched local couples falling in love, with no transmigration, System, or transmigration into a book

Top Stories | Just Rambling to Myself

Gong-protagonist stories. I like couples who spoil each other, or stories that lean a little toward the shou. Ratings reflect my personal taste. Dealbreakers: muddy gongs, gong worship, weak-in-bed gongs, and role reversals.

Pure-Love Treats: Two Love-Brained Fools in Disguise

Danmei, 1v1. I prefer older partners / raising someone / handsome × handsome / dominant × cute / doglike × doglike / cool × warm & still × active. I'll read anything else, too. For the most part, I like the work, not the author.

BL with Protagonists Who Have Mental or Psychological Conditions

BL where one or both leads have a mental illness and their feelings for each other run deep

Top-Focused, Mutual Pampering with a Bottom Lean (2)

Stories I feel are mutually doting, or lean toward the bottom’s perspective. (I’m at a loss for words, so I can’t write reviews.) A few have dual perspectives.

Great Top-Dom BL Novels, Read at Least Once

Mostly strong couples who dote on each other, with happy endings. Completed stories with plots that don’t hit my no-go zones, and a lead whose character I like, whether gong or shou. I’ll try to add one or two new reads each month. Ongoing stories go on another list.

I Dreamed of Having a Fortune

Subjective reviews. I like reading about couples who dote on each other. Liking a book doesn’t mean I like its author.

Product-Focused Sisters, Come Take a Look (No One with Strong Shipping Preferences!)

Mostly male-led, with fewer female-led stories. The romantic interest is balanced both ways, though some lean a little toward one side or the other. Overall, they're pretty even, so fans who insist on one side should steer clear.

Level C

I'll Read Anything, Just Give Me All the CPs!!!

No KK!! No promise of equal treatment (not about the romance, though; I'll flag those dealbreakers up front). Plot-driven, with the main story taking priority over romance.

Level B

Top POV, One-on-One Romance

I read gong-focused, gong-leaning, shou-leaning, and mutually doting couples, but only 1v1. I’m not into everyone-loves-the-protagonist plots, one-sided crushes, weak gongs, or muscular shous. I prefer strong gongs and beautiful shous, or two strong leads.

Strongly Recommended: Stories Where the Top Is the Main Focus and Gets All the Love!

I like gong-centric wish fulfillment, gongs who take charge, and strong gongs. I don't like weak gongs or police-officer gongs! Most of my recommendations feature couples who dote on each other, or stories where the gong gets a little more attention. The shou falls in love first.
