My 2026 Novel Reading Log

Some sweet stories I like

Level B
10Books1Follows1dUpdated

Personal BL Reading List

My tastes: nonhumans, enemies, equally matched couples, mutual devotion, and forced melodrama. I love seductive, earnest, and snarky bottoms, and controlling, dark, and tsundere tops. I generally prefer devoted couples, but some stories have infidelity or switch roles.

My Top-Centric Reading List: Browsing, Recs, and Warnings

Not necessarily to GK's taste, but definitely not to SK's. I have a serious older-brother-and-dog kink, so most of these are probably age-gap stories with an older top.

Really good novels

But All I Want Is to Read About Top-Centric Couples

● Basically mutual doting, with both halves of the couple openly crazy about each other. I don't know what you're talking about. My little couple's pure romance is just wonderful.

A Record of Novels I've Finished

Only recommending pure-love BL with mutual firsts. I'm a strict purity fan, making a little record for myself. All kinds of genres, with no preference for tops or shou. Updated whenever.

Recommendations for Stories Told from the Top's Perspective

☆ I prefer doting tops and couples who dote on each other ☆ I prefer handsome tops and well-built bottoms ☆ I'll add more over time

Everything I Fully Subscribed to in 2026.Zip

Completed stories I've read and bought in full, slowly updating... Some were recommended to me, and some I dug up when I was out of things to read. I read a bit of everything, so there might be BL, BG, GB, or no romance (?)

All Fully Purchased | Quality Guaranteed

Pure BL only. I prefer bottom-leaning characters, and both "bottom" and "CP fan" are pronounced the same way. I don't read crime investigation, mystery, horror, infinite-loop, Zerg, or angst-heavy stories. I prefer feel-good power fantasies and sweet romances.

A Collection of High-Quality Ancient BL Novels with Brilliant Couples and Political Scheming

Keywords: political intrigue / business management / fantasy / world-building / imperial exams / mystery / Republican era / ancient times (Ongoing updates. I'm a tough grader, so three stars is a high score. Good for when you're out of things to read.)

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 :)

To Balance or Not to Balance (Mutually Dotting Older Partner Pairings)

I read stories whether or not they give everyone equal attention, so I'm pretty open-minded. This is all purely subjective, based on the comment section's general vibe and my own feelings. By a clean relationship, I only mean both leads are virgins and each other's first kiss. I don't mind slow updates, and I like it when the male lead spoils the well-behaved female lead.

Abandoned Books: A

Personal list, abandoned reads in progress. Original fiction only, don’t come in. Just for my own records, not useful as a recommendation list.

Top-Focused, Strong Equals, Mutual Pampering (Double Alphas)

A dream list for fans of strong couples, mutual affection, and plot-driven stories from the pursuer's perspective. Mutual devotion is the best! Stories with both a strong plot and romance are the best.

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.

Obsessive Women

Serious appreciation?? I also like appreciating noncon... What happened to my old reading list?? I forgot what I saved back then. I hate Jinjiang!

Juggling Everyone While Chasing Love and Family Fortune

My recommendations only reflect my personal taste, so whether you'll enjoy them is something you'll have to find out for yourself, haha. I'd suggest checking the ratings first to avoid the duds~

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~

Older Love Interests Are the Best

Fine, I admit older love interests are my thing. Romance or danmei, either works. The more pronounced the age gap, the tastier!
