My Husband Cannot Possibly Be the Tyrant Emperor!

Current Favorites

SFW over controlled-subject content, though it gets a little dark now and then. Cool, aloof bottoms, cute bottoms, frail or sickly bottoms, and imperfect bottoms. Faked deaths, running away, and mild coercion. A dominant top and a submissive bottom with an intense dependency.

Historical Fiction (Male Lead, Protagonist Top, Protagonist Bottom)

Contains spoilers. I'm worried I'll forget which is which, so I'll summarize some distinctive details from the stories.

Delicious Bottom-Centric Reads (For My Own Use)

Mostly quick transmigration, System, and reborn stories, often with alluring, teasing characters. Funny stories, strong agency, sweet couples, clever jokes, and trope-subverting plots are welcome too. I mainly follow ongoing serials and save the ones I've started so I don't forget about them.

Personal Reading List

I’m both a fan and a shipper of the female lead, but at heart I’m just a pure voyeur, and I refuse to put down her partner. I don’t read toxic, groveling romances. Aside from promiscuous tops and tops who aren’t sexually exclusive, I’m pretty much fine with anything.

Reborn as Lin Jingzhe's Younger Sister

A book list I put together for an event. My personal taste: I read all kinds of things and respect every pairing, though I occasionally get an itch for trashy novels.

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~

Long Live Lovey-Dovey Couples

My tastes are all over the place. I read both top- and bottom-focused stories, so I'm not a die-hard shipper. If an author writes something that hits the spot, I'll add it here. Mostly older characters, few modern settings, and well-written romance.

For the Guys Who Love BL

A collection of great historical danmei and xianxia danmei novels. I’ve finished them all, and subscribed to over 90% of each book. I didn’t buy lots of the extras, though, so I haven’t subscribed to everything...

Some Stories with Manly Tops I Like (and a Few Manly Bottoms)

My taste is CPJ, not all of it is heavy on male-male romance. To me, "heavy" means the romance is so intense it feels pressuring. Updated irregularly. Includes some ghostly male tops and psychopathic male tops.

Mutual Pampering, Receptive-Leaning, and Decent Writing: Personal Reading List

My personal preferences: beautiful, sickly, cute, or delicate bottoms. I don't mind whether they're both virgins, but I can't stand tops who've slept around. I don't mind handsome tops, as long as they're not prettier or shorter than the bottom. I don't like buying bonus chapters.

Drunk on Dreams of the World

Historical danmei about life at court, with lots of romance! I focus on the characters, worldbuilding, and pacing. I don't need much political intrigue, but I can't stand characters acting stupidly. Cat Claw has its own special charm~

Thoughts on BL Stories I've Followed or Finished

Different tastes are fine, so there's no need to force yourself to fit in. I was already holding back by not saying something harsher in the comments. This is purely subjective; I have no obligation to be objective.

Stories I've Finished

I only like reading about couples falling in love. Sweet and satisfying stories are the best. Even the angsty ones are usually hard on the body, not the heart. There are crossover and original works.
