What I Read in 2026
I read so much in 2025. I wonder if I’ll have that much free time this year.
The Younger One Has Too Much on His Mind to Call Him Bro
BL, mostly from the bottom's perspective. A collection of completed stories with younger tops that I thought were pretty good. Give me more younger-top stories!
Hello, I'm Here for a Bite of a Handsome Bottom
Handsome bottoms means handsome-looking bottoms. These are some less popular handsome-bottom stories with no more than ten thousand bookmarks. I only read mutually doting sweet stories. I avoid the bottom taking the top role and weak tops. I prefer bottoms with lean muscles over bulky builds.
Personal BL Reading List
Recommendations and reviews of stories I find interesting. I lean toward mutual pampering, strong leads, beautiful gong and handsome shou. I'll add more when I have time.
A Hungry Reader's Recommendations for Western Fantasy BL
Updated very irregularly (meaning, whenever I find something good to read). I’ve made peace with not finding any knight bottoms (serenity). This isn’t a list for any particular preference. It includes Western fantasy and gay romance (heart).
Western Fantasy
Western fantasy with no-CP and danmei, including full-dive Western fantasy and Fourth Calamity stories. A tiny bit of romance, too.
An Eclectic Diet Keeps Me Well-Nourished
A chaotic hot pot, best enjoyed piping hot. Original works and fan works, BL/BG/GL, obscure old favorites, Western fantasy, European style, Japanese style, nonhumans, and more. Great ideas and writing.
Come On, Guys, Let's Read Some Old Favorites
So desperately hungry that I have no taboos! I love books with low bookmark counts and old works! I occasionally recommend high-bookmark books with little traffic. Any obscure gay male romance is welcome, so please recommend them and flood me with suggestions (begging).
Handsome, Charismatic, or Strong Bottoms
Not all of them feature handsome bottoms, but none have sickly or cold, beautiful bottoms... Strong leads, infinite-flow, ensemble casts, mostly fantasy. I like couples who are fun to ship.
Books I’m Saving for a Reread
I like characters who aren't human or don't look human. I'm into post-apocalyptic, infinite-flow, xianxia, and transmigration stories, and I'm not too fussed about romance.
Personal Collection
Some of my personal favorites. I’ve been reading for 3,650 days without even realizing it. I’ve actually been on Jinjiang for ten years dT-Tb. Most of the stuff I used to love has been taken down.
Absolutely Here for Handsome, Muscular Bottoms
I read beautiful tops with handsome bottoms, beautiful tops with strong bottoms, beautiful tops with buff bottoms, and handsome tops with handsome bottoms. This is my personal reading list.
Personal Collection: Books to Reread Again and Again
I read all kinds of things, no content warnings. For my own collection.
Dreamlands and Arcane Gates
A collection of Western fantasy and cosmic horror, mostly danmei with a few no-romance stories, with an emphasis on plot. May we all meet above Carcosa.
Stories That Hit All My Kinks
I've been reading for so long but never kept a record. Here's a look back at some books I've read that were so good they made my scalp tingle with delight. Both BL and BG versions.
Two Strong Leads
Strong sexual tension, and the shou is genuinely strong. Highly recommended for longtime readers! They're definitely all mutually exclusive, carefully selected!
For Myself: Reading Log
For personal use. Don't click.
My Top-Tier Favorites
I really love these.

Saving these to read later.
Handsome Tops
Handsome gong, gorgeous shou, 1v1
Stories with Strong Protagonist Agency
Stories where the protagonist isn't overly dependent on their partner, a powerful backer, or a golden finger, and achieves success, builds a career, or gets revenge on scumbags mainly through their own efforts

First of all, congratulations to the teacher for finishing! [Spread flowers] Although this year is not over yet, this book by Teacher is definitely the best unpopular treasure I have found this year! I am really happy (crying) to see such a beautiful story when western fantasy is very niche nowadays. What a young couple in pure love! 🥺 I feel like I have already opened steam and played Xiao Zhou's Daughter (what are I talking about). This book is definitely not in line with the quality of the collection. In order to sell Amway, I shouted everywhere, check out our Western Fantasy! 😭 I am so lucky to have discovered the teacher's book. I wish the teacher will write better and better! Waiting for the next book and continuing to support the teacher 🥺 Now that Tuenwen is over, it's fun to read [Sunglasses]
The ending is simply a reflection of that sentence: The world is your suicide note to me, and I am your relic. (It's not be, it's not be!) When I was looking through the ratings, I saw some people saying that the ending was not good. It was a bit boring compared to the previous one. After reading it, I actually liked the ending better. Zhou Qi continued to practice what his teacher said about him back then: to be a person with conscience and confidence. Darkness cannot stop him, not even death. A person who is consistent on the outside and inside, the portrayal of the ending makes Zhou Qi's entire character fuller. After reading it, I found that most readers prefer the plot in Haicheng, and I am no exception. Haicheng is so beautiful. Zhou Qi and Xiao Pa truly become a family here. They meet Ms. Kang's family together. Xiao Pa learns the piano and finally gets rid of his illiterate status. Zhou Qi becomes a purification hunter and meets Teacher Rainer and a group of good colleagues who are like in a fairy tale. I don't mean the background is beautiful, but the people. No matter how long the road Zhou Qi and Xiao Pa travel and how far they go, they can no longer recreate the beauty of Haicheng. All they can keep are the memories here. Zhou Qi and the others left Haicheng, which was also the beginning of Zhou Qi's growth. Landu was more developed, but the people they met were scum. At the end, you will find that most of the remaining companions were actually met in Haicheng. They represent the good things of the past and the good things that will never be seen again. It is natural to like the plot of Haicheng. But the ending almost tortured me to death. This is actually a hidden cruelty. The ending is fast-paced, basically a story about Zhou Qi traveling around and fighting monsters. Those past companions rarely appear. Why? Because Zhou Qi is too strong, his pace is too fast, and it is too fast for his companions to catch up. They can contribute very little, so the drama is small, but this is also the scary point. The two sentences mentioned casually in the article are the dissipation and ending of a person. The teacher is dead, Theresa is dead, Steven is dead, Xia Anna's brother is dead... Everything in the past is dying, and death is a grand ending that cannot be fast forwarded. Life is a journey, everyone has his own rhythm, and no one will always accompany you. We often say that some people are just passers-by in your life. They just accompany you for a while and will eventually leave. The only good thing is that even on this road of life, there is still Xiaopa who can walk with Zhou Qi, but Zhou Qi doesn't even have Xiaopa in the end. I say Zhou Qi is too rational and too indifferent. He wants to save the world. He is not a savior, he is only a martyr, so in the end When Zhou Qi looked around, he discovered that he had no one to accompany him. No one could accompany him on the road to salvation, not even Xiao Pa. He was too cruel. Xiao Pa had become a god and his life span was almost endless. After Zhou Qi's death, he would only live alone and eternally. Time will heal everything, but Zhou Qi is a part of Xiaopa. No matter how long time passes, it cannot erase a part of a person. Fortunately, the ending is back. In these long years, there is someone who can accompany you until the end. Author, I'm going to be tortured to death by the ending. Please, please write some happy ending extras. I'm a native dog, and I just like to read sweet happy ending stories. In short, it is a very good book. The author has not failed to write a grand world view, and the writing style is not bad. It is worth reading. I was planning to write a long review after reading it, but I! Forget! Got it! So I went to tweet and then I remembered that I haven't written a long review for this book. Finally, look at my sincere eyes, author! Write a happy reunion episode!
I feel like I was tricked into drinking a vat of bitter melon juice by the great title, writing and setting. It was so painful that I wanted to vomit it out, but I wanted to try it again just for the slightest bit of pleasure, but it turned out to be extremely bitter!!! The author's writing is not bad, but there are also many problems (. First, the passage of time is written very vaguely. A series of events that seemed to occur within half a year to a year actually occurred within two months. An incident that seemed to take a month or two to resolve actually took half a year. Didn't Pluto use a calendar similar to the solar calendar? Wouldn't the problem be solved by simply writing the date or month in narration, or by directly arranging Xiaopa or Zhou Qi to look at the calendar or monthly calendar to confirm the time? Then there is the setting, carving scars on the body and being promoted through a ritual. It is obviously a ritual as important as the transformation of a magical girl, but the key "ritual" is often skipped!!! In the early stage, Zhou Qi could indeed skip the ceremony by relying on star bugs, but in the middle and later stages, he could not cheat and had to use the formal promotion ceremony! How come all the subsequent ceremonies were simplified or skipped!? Even the ritual and commemorative value of carving scars is gone!? I don't accept it!!! The final sealing ceremony of Xiaopa is completely unclear. It is obviously a very touching plot, but the most critical part is written too briefly, and I can't understand what happened at all! There are many things that feel wrong if you think about it carefully, but the author did not expand on them in detail. I feel that the author tried his best, but I still felt uncomfortable reading it. Also, many supporting characters clearly play a role in showing the current situation of other organizations or regions and shaping the world view, but the author does not write about them at all. It's like they just disappear when the protagonist doesn't need them. This way of writing brings a strong sense of harmony. What follows is simply dissatisfaction with the author's writing style. I can understand that the author wanted to make the story bitter first and then sweet, but every time they sweetened it a little bit, it immediately turned bitter again, and it ended immediately when they finally had all the sugar. Just, why torture the readers? The time when Zhou Qi and Xiao Pa depended on each other seemed sour and sweet from the perspective of a cp addict, but very bad from the perspective of a guardian and a child who had just been rescued from a cult. Zhou Qi had exhausted all his efforts when trying to find a way to escape the church's pursuit with Xiao Pa. He had no energy or time left to understand what Xiao Pa needed and wanted. Before Xiao Pa could not express his thoughts, it was normal for Zhou Qi to help Xiao Pa make a decision. After they settled down and started a new life, Xiaopa slowly learned to communicate with others. Under such circumstances, Zhou Qi was still making decisions for Xiao Pa according to his own preferences. He did not sit down and have a good chat with Xiao Pa about the problems they faced, Xiao Pa's needs, and their future. Even though Xiaopa used the methods he learned to express his rejection to Zhou Qi, Zhou Qi still continued to go his own way. It took some kind-hearted grandpa to give Zhou Qi a hard beating before the situation improved. It is normal for Zhou Qi to not do well enough as a guardian for the first time, but Xiaopa only has you. If you can't even notice Xiaopa's pain and anxiety, what should Xiaopa do? In the end, the solution to all this is to advance the main plot, let Zhou Qi exit directly, and let Xiao Pa grow up alone. Until Xiao Pa grows up to be able to face the painful problem alone, then treat it as solved? I don't accept it. Two immature, lonely souls can meet each other, support each other, and grow together. It is obviously a good story, but why does it become like this? I like them very much, but there were so many things that made me feel dissatisfied and uncomfortable while reading this story. All in all, thank you very much to the author for writing this love-hate story. I don't like stories that are too bitter, so I probably won't read your works again. See you again when I'm destined!
Congratulations on the completion! I'm going to lie to you. Actually, I didn't keep up with the story until it was finished 🤩 Thanks to the author for creating this story. It can be seen that it has a well-polished plot and world view background. In addition, the Western Fantasy Secret Cult and the cuteness are so in line with my emotional line. What else can I say, Master, I will always follow you! I will keep selling Amway until someone comes to see me (walking around flatly)
It's so well written [ bursts into tears ] and explains in detail the prohibited items [ covering face and peeking ]
The winter solstice is all about seeing such sweet little lovers sticking together like glutinous rice balls
I was filled with emotions all the way through the whole reading. It seemed like it was sweet for a while but bitter for a long time. It was hard to imagine that I had lived with Xiaopa for a hundred years. It made me feel like a little dog that had lost its owner. Fortunately, he came back in the end, and sweetness came back [Bixin]
Finished spreading flowers!! The one with silver hair must be Lennar! 😭
Yay!!! After watching it, I feel like I can watch this masterpiece for only a few dozen yuan. Is it true? 🙏
It seems I posted it in the wrong place, please repost www It's really great to see the revenue of the novel rise from over 7,000 to over 8,000 while I'm reading it☺️. Road to Dawn is really the best online novel I've read recently! There are indeed many minor flaws. For example, the design of the promotion ceremony could further immerse readers in the world view. But who can ignore the most sincere love in this Ouroboros cycle! Recalling the cycle of the sun, moon and stars, I will think of this world created in nothingness, for love, and because of love. Thank you, the author, for letting me see such an interesting story!
