Dropped Novel Log

Books I dropped halfway through because their writing style wasn't something I could handle at this point. I'm noting down why I dropped them so I won't forget later. I'll decide whether to pick them back up based on the reasons.

Books to Binge Later

I love feel-good stories with genius protagonists, and cozy farming stories. Any gender, orientation, or genre is welcome. This is exactly my kind of thing. Praying the author updates ten chapters a day.

A total protagonist stan. Here are some literary comfort foods.

Proud and Talented Bottoms/Female Protagonists (Mostly Large-Scale Worlds)

Quick transmigration, modern, and historical settings. I prefer expansive worlds, powerful and confident protagonists with an emperor-like attitude, popular protagonists, and strong female leads. No CP (male leads tend to be bottoms).

Novels I've Read for the Protagonist

The protagonists always get their moments in the spotlight. Includes crossover anime, sports, and crossovers with American comics and more. I only read male-led no-CP and pure romance. My kinks include protagonist angst, secret identities, frail characters, and emotional gut punches.

Bottom-Leaning, Usable: Continuously Updated

Lots of spoilers. These are my reactions that I sent to a friend while reading. Hate beautiful weaklings, female rivals, dead flower-vase characters, and pretentious, foul-mouthed characters. If there's a white moonlight, it's called a yandere but is really just mentally ill. Steals the love interest and hogs all the spotlight, while constantly being glorified.
