Synopsis

[Readers can now comment on individual paragraphs] Shi Shanyue x Xie Nanzhou Puppy-like immortal lord seme Xie Nanzhou died, but then he came back to life. To uncover the truth about his past, he became a disciple of Immortal Lord Na Qingyou. Around this immortal lord, he discovered many things from his past: his old life-bound sword, the magnolia tree from his former sect, and even a little white dog that looked like the one from his past... The more they spent time together, the more he felt that this immortal lord was strangely like a little animal. As it turned out, the immortal lord was the little white dog who used to doze beneath the magnolia tree at his former sect. Shi Shanyue tilted his head. "Humans seem to like doing strange things to me." A weak-in-bed seme. Not pure romance throughout: the seme sleeps with the villain. The seme is a demon cultivator whose true form is a little white dog, and he's simple-minded. Premise: World peace.

Top-Centric

Keeping track of completed novels I like that lean toward the top. Includes sickly, universally adored, self-indulgent tops; submissive tops; devoted-husband tops; rough tops; and angst tops. No forced-bottom scenes, weak bottoms, or abandoned stories.

Everything Reported Is Lan Ju Shou (Completed Edition)

Originally called “Pile-Driver Bottom.” My personal tastes don't cater to anyone else's triggers. I only save completed stories, and I discuss the works, not the authors. “Lan Ju Bottom” has appeared 9 times so far.

A Guide to Raising a Puppy-Like Pursuer

Top-focused, the world belongs to the little dog top. Little dog tops > everything. I’m picky about what I read and reject all stereotypical dog tropes, like the loyal puppy. Kisses to the sisters who love little dog tops!

Saving Books That Hit My Kinks

Includes, but isn’t limited to, bottoms doting on tops, tops getting toyed with, pathetic tops, bottoms pursuing tops, tops getting hurt, fake strong tops, puppy-like tops, male pregnancy, and more. Tops are generally weak in bed. No role reversals, no bottoms reduced to submissive stereotypes, and no bottom-stan vibes.

Maybe Beloved Top Reading Log 2

For doted-on tops, I can only guarantee that the top is well-written, the romantic feelings are clear, and the bottom genuinely puts in effort for the top.

Top-Centric, Bottom Dotes on Top, Top-Lovers’ Reading List

I like pampered tops, strong bottoms, weak tops, handsome tops, and pegging, as well as tops who have to win back their partners after being dumped. I'm also interested in overpowered tops, but I'm picky: I can't stand stories with an overpowered top and a weak bottom.

A Top's Reading Log

Brief reviews. I'm an avid shipper and a protagonist stan. I prefer tops who are weak in bed and bottoms who pamper their tops. I recommend some and reject others. If the top is a bottom, I'll clearly mark it as a no. I can't stand tops being bottoms or side male-male couples.

Serious Reads

Moved the sweet little treats from my other list over here. Love tops who are clingy, dominant, and playful, with weak bodies in bed. Top-tier stuff. (Reading at a leisurely pace lately.)

Some Free or Hiatused Novels with Dominant Leads

My tastes are niche and complicated. I'm basically only into dominant male leads, and as long as a story has that, I can usually overlook a few dealbreakers. Some are free stories, and some are male-lead-focused stories where the author locked chapters behind a paywall, later unlocked them, stopped updating, or abandoned the story

Weak Tops, Strong Bottoms, Bottoms Doting on Tops (Completed Only)

Dark and bizarre tastes. I like seeing the tops suffer. The bottom's only purpose is to pamper the top. If the bottom isn't a Mary Sue, a cash cow, and worthy of the best top, I'm not interested. I only read sexually weak tops. Strong tops and weak bottoms are both dealbreakers.
