A Bungou Stray Dogs Dazai Reading List (Mild to Moderate OOC) 多文野宰书单(轻中度ooc)

1. 51 被 Bungo Stray Dogs Romance: If a Cat Tries to Frame You, Call for Help Immediately [文野乙女]被猫碰瓷请及时求救 Silver Acetylene乙炔银Romance37k WordsCompleted A Dazai Osamu romance story. About how the Boss Dazai seems to have picked a fight with you and decided to cling to you, all on his own. A short, sugary sweet story. The heroine is the same one from the Armed Detective Agency story, "[Bungo Stray Dogs Romance] Don't Fish for Mackerel," and the Dark Era story, "[Bungo Stray Dogs Romance] Is My Boss Acting Up Again Today?" You can enjoy this one without reading those. Theme: No real theme, just writing Boss Dazai 5.3kFavorites23kClicks/ch1.3kGifts

   Curator note

   This is a female-oriented otome game featuring the leader, Zashiki. The heroine's special ability is the ability to make equivalent exchanges. Because Zashiki has gained his memories, he's in a romantic relationship from the start, making him incredibly cute and girlish [cat paw]. The author's portrayal of Zashiki as a cat is quite adorable.

2. 52 当 [Dazai/Akutagawa] When Akutagawa Got a Script [太芥]当芥川有了剧本 watchingDanmei (BL)79k WordsCompleted A story about Akutagawa receiving the script after his death and returning to the age of sixteen. Theme: The meaning of survival 5kFavorites32.8kClicks/ch203Gifts

   Curator note

   The writing style is subtly melancholic, and Akutagawa's portrayal is better than Zabuza's. The only red flag is the psychological description of Chuuya believing Zabuza abuses Akutagawa; it's only a short passage. There's also a third-person monologue from Zabuza's perspective, a classic line: "He's a coward who gets hurt even by cotton." Personally, I don't think Oba Yozo's character should be applied to Zabuza in Bungo Stray Dogs. I don't deny that Zabuza does have that side, but as I said before, it's a common problem in fanfiction: overly direct and exaggerated language can be unsettling. However, the writing is so good that I can overlook the shortcomings, so I give it four stars overall.

3. 53 成 After Becoming the Dog of the Five Great Executives 成为天五宰的走狗之后 Chen Mianmian陈免免Danmei (BL)301k WordsCompleted Synopsis: The world is like a shoddy RPG, and Ying Zhen Yue knows it all too well. The same dull daily routines repeated by cookie-cutter NPCs. There are only a handful of different people. Then one day, words appeared in the "book" in his hands. Highlight: No Jujutsu Kaisen content. I just forgot to remove the tag when I started writing (crawls away in apology) Extra updates: Every other day (time varies) (Synopsis written on 2025.3.24, screenshot saved) Theme: B 4.4kFavorites3.8kClicks/ch19.4kGifts

   Curator note

   The final installment of Dazai's tetralogy, with its depressing premise, feels like searching for sugar amidst shards of glass. The protagonist is a supernatural life form created by the book to save the world. As the "protagonist" whose fate is closely related to the world, he is like a god. The world will change because of his will. Because of loneliness, he longs for companions. In this way, the world gave him a gift: a little monster. What happened next... Zai encountered the protagonist's book and learned the truth about this world. His already fragile mental state was on the verge of collapse, and facing the protagonist who was related to the survival of the world, Zai chose to kill the god. "He was born to be on the opposite side of himself without doing anything"—quoting this article. Warning: This book is not for those who are obsessed with the main character, especially if the main character is an undisguised die-hard fan of Zai. Another point is that the protagonist knows the stories of the other three books. Zai obviously knows them after he gets the books (I almost left because of this. Although I am an absolute Zai fan, I am very loyal in my views on relationships. I can treat the different protagonists and Zai as separate stories, but this book connects them [cheek rest]. Although I am less opposed to subscribing to all of them now, I still think it would be better if it wasn't set up this way).

4. 54 求 [Bungo Stray Dogs Otome] How Much Gravity Does a Straightforward Confession Bear? [文野乙女]求直球所受重力大小 Silver Acetylene乙炔银Romance19k WordsCompleted A Chuuya Nakahara otome story. A few tales of workplace romance about you and your boss, the hapless Chuuya Nakahara, fumbling through love together. A short, sugary-sweet story. The heroine is the same as in the Dazai chapter, but you can enjoy this one without reading that one. Theme: No real theme, I just wanted to write something cute about the gravity manipulator. 3.5kFavorites11.9kClicks/ch885Gifts

   Curator note

   Chuuya Otome, I remember this story could also be considered an "if" scenario for "Boss," where the female protagonist doesn't adapt well to life in the Mafia and is taken in by Chuuya, etc. The reason I'm not giving it five stars is that I'm a fan of the main character, not a fan of the middle version. The story is good, but I'm not that into it.

5. 55 于21+ And Then They Dragged Me Off to Feed the Crocodiles 于是被拉去喂鳄鱼了 Wu Liu Su Qing Niao无流苏晴鸟No CP40k WordsCompleted 2.4kFavorites8kClicks/ch531Gifts

   Curator note

   The fourth disaster story, everyone gets fed to the crocodiles! It's not very kind to the original characters, but every flavor has its own standard, so I'd give it four stars overall.

6. 56 同 [Bungo Stray Dogs: Otome] Did My Coworker Get Mad Today? [文野乙女]同事今天生气了吗 Silver Acetylene乙炔银Romance19k WordsCompleted A female-oriented story about Ryunosuke Akutagawa. About your coworker Ryunosuke Akutagawa being in a bad mood all day, every day. Third-person narration, mostly from Akutagawa's perspective. Unrequited love turns mutual. A side story branching off from the Black-Era Dazai female-oriented story, Has the Boss Gone Crazy Today? Someone wanted to read it, so I wrote a little. It should be over soon. You can enjoy this without reading the earlier story. Theme: No real theme, I just wanted to writ 2.3kFavorites14.2kClicks/ch64Gifts

   Curator note

   Akutagawa's Otome manga is very well-written; I really enjoy her Bungo Stray Dogs Otome stories. This story can be seen as an "if" scenario for "The Boss". The protagonist's superpower is the same as that story, which I remember is "game theory" and the ability to reload save files. The reason I'm not giving it five stars is that I don't recommend Akutagawa, I don't like his personality, and I remember that in this story Akutagawa cut off the female lead. Although the female lead is very resilient and has a strong heart, Akutagawa's actions were due to his personal emotions. At that time, the female lead had already joined the Mafia. If the female lead and Akutagawa were enemies, I definitely wouldn't be offended. Ah, that's all. The reason is probably because Mustard and the Tiger were at odds in the original story. Ah, now we know everything. But there's nothing I can do about it; that's just how Akutagawa's character is, and the fan-made designs are quite reasonable. Not giving him five stars is truly the reason I don't recommend Akutagawa.

7. 57 黄 [Bungo Stray Dogs] Beneath the Twilight [文豪野犬]黄昏之下 The Stars Take the Bait星星咬钩Danmei (BL)113k WordsCompleted [Blurb] “...Li Jun, what's wrong?” A dark room, a dim yellow lamp, a pale face, eyes red as blood. Li was weak and exhausted, managing a faint smile. “Dazai... This look really does make you seem like a vampire.” Dazai paused, setting the glass of water aside. A thin silver chain was cuffed to the wrist of his raised hand, too. Noticing Li's gaze, Dazai wound the chain around his hand a few times and pulled it toward himself. Li's ankle was restrained, forcing him to bend and raise his leg. Osam 1.8kFavorites6kClicks/ch380Gifts

   Curator note

   The pairing is with the leader, Zashiki, and the level of OOC (out-of-character) is barely acceptable, probably because the writing is decent. It's just that the last few chapters... Those were probably the most OOC parts. The main world's Armed Detective Zai is too frivolous. He flirts with his lover from a parallel world, especially when his own lover is there. It's such a blatant stereotype that it's very uncomfortable to read. Zai is actually a respectful and emotionally intelligent person. Skipping the last few chapters would be much better. I originally gave it three stars, but after thinking about it, I'll go with two and a half stars.

8. 58 乙 [Bungo Stray Dogs] Otome Short Story Collection [文野]乙女向短篇集 Silver Acetylene乙炔银Romance17k WordsCompleted As the title says, this is a collection of short otome-style stories. Don't expect too much from stories under five thousand characters. They're all fragments that never became full-length works. Premise: Fictional characters are so lovely 1.3kFavorites9.2kClicks/ch117Gifts

   Curator note

   This is a collection of short stories, and I thought about it and decided to put it here anyway. Take a look if you're interested.
