1. 1 放 Wait for Me After School 放学等我 Jiang Zibei酱子贝Danmei (BL)386k WordsCompleted Yu Fan found the new transfer student in his class incredibly annoying. The other guy glanced at him. Yu Fan: He's looking for a fight. A second glance. Yu Fan: He's asking if I'm too scared to fight. A third glance. The transfer student still wore that expressionless, icy face as he handed Yu Fan a letter. “Yu.” Yu Fan thought, Top students really are so damn fussy. He even brought a challenge letter to a fight. He rolled up his sleeves and stood. “Please accept my love letter.” Yu Fan pl 2MFavorites1.9MClicks/ch2.6MGifts

   It's just a typical campus romance novel. Actually, I never quite grasped the "Do you prefer mountains or the sea?" Quote, but some of the details about the protagonist dropping out of school were really well-written and resonated with me. The amount of explicit content seems a bit high after their reunion. This is my first campus romance novel with a slight "white moonlight" complex. The male lead's character is quite interesting; I haven't read anything similar yet.

2. 2 我 I Like Your Pheromones 我喜欢你的信息素 Guiding Star引路星Danmei (BL)344k WordsCompleted As a handsome Beta from a well-off family, Duan Jiayan coasted through life for over a decade, doing whatever he pleased, until he met Lu Xingci in high school. Lu Xingci came from a better family, was taller, played basketball better, and was leagues ahead of Duan Jiayan academically. Even Duan Jiayan’s troublemaking friends couldn’t help praising Lu Xingci now and then. Most importantly, the girl Duan Jiayan had his eye on admitted that she’d liked the school heartthrob, Lu Xingci, for years. 1.9MFavorites2.5MClicks/ch1.2MGifts

   It's just a regular sweet story, but it has the added bonus of being a "white moonlight" (a term for a devoted, loving female character), which made it very enjoyable for me when I was little. It was my first ABO novel.

3. 3 小EN Little Mushroom (Deluxe Hardcover Novel) 小蘑菇 Fourteen Continents一十四洲Danmei (BL)313k WordsCompleted An Zhe is a mushroom, and his life's purpose is to grow a spore of his own. One day, he loses his spore. He searches everywhere for a long time, until at last he sees a familiar-looking spore on the news. Desperate, An Zhe knocks on the door of a colonel in the human military. “Hello, sir. How is the research project under your command going? When you're done studying it, could you give my son back to me?” The colonel looks coldly at him. “Your son?” “I gave birth to him QAQ” The colonel says 1.4MFavorites1.5MClicks/ch1.4MGifts

   The first post-apocalyptic novel I read had a great world-building, and most importantly, it was created with very few words. Seeing the rise and fall of humanity from the perspective of a mushroom is a genius idea! It was also the first time I'd read a soft and cute protagonist, and An Zhe is just so adorable! Actually, I don't usually like cute protagonists because they easily become simplistic or childish, but An Zhe is just so good and cute! Plus, Lu Feng and An Zhe have amazing chemistry; from the moment they met at the beginning, I knew they were destined for each other! It's so good, I've read it countless times!

4. 4 我EN I've Liked Your Boyfriend for a Long Time 我喜欢你男朋友很久了 Jiang Zibei酱子贝Danmei (BL)137k WordsCompleted Pei Ran has recently made two discoveries: 1. His boyfriend of three years might be cheating on him. 2. His boyfriend's roommate seems to look at him in a rather strange way. A short story, not much plot. Just something I wrote on a whim. Feel free to read it casually. Theme: . 923.6kFavorites2MClicks/ch330.6kGifts

   This is my first novel featuring a swapped seme (top/bottom). The author seems to love writing seme characters who are good at games, but I don't play this game, so I didn't really notice. Overall, it's pretty good, flows smoothly, but some details felt poorly handled. The uke's emotional shifts were a bit too rapid. I thought at least there would be some nostalgia and pain for the ex (no offense to the ex), but since it's free, I'll say nothing more. Thanks for the support!

5. 5 子 Midnight Owl 子夜鸮 Yan Liangyu颜凉雨Danmei (BL)897k WordsCompleted At midnight, two owl hoots sounded, and Xu Wang was swept into a world called The Owl. From then on, his life was divided into two parts: the "reality of daytime" and "challenges at night." An infinite-flow adventure, where a group of friends team up to tackle the challenges~ The series novel Midnight Ten is about the final ten challenges~~(づ￣ 3￣)づ Theme: 399.2kFavorites496kClicks/ch490kGifts

   This is a really cute infinite flow novel with a well-developed ensemble cast. The romance between the characters in the novel is adorable, and Wu Sheng is the first "bking" (dominant) male lead I've ever read. He's so well-developed, not at all greasy or lewd. The pairing of Xiao Si Jin and Xiao Xue is also great. What impressed me most was the storyline involving Yan Wang and Chi Yingxue. This infinite flow novel is really good. It doesn't have a protagonist-centric plot, no overpowered abilities or cheat codes. It's just a very natural story of ordinary people overcoming challenges. The protagonist fails multiple times, and even the minor characters have their moments of glory. I don't know why, but at the end, they shouted about justice and bonds and rushed to lock up the owl. It was very lighthearted and not scary at all, perfect for those with low sanity!

   I read it in middle school, and finished the physical book in one night. I've forgotten a bit of the plot, but I remember that two people cried. I'm a little interested in the female lead's friend and the older brother. I don't know if I'll be able to write it down. Just jotting it down.

7. 7 你 You Are My Glory 你是我的荣耀 Gu Man顾漫Romance187k WordsCompleted Synopsis One: Ten years later, Qiao Jingjing has unexpectedly become a shining star, while the guy she had a crush on in high school, who turned her down, seems to have faded into the crowd... Time flies, yet you still shine in my heart. Can I become someone you're proud of, too? Synopsis Two: Qiao Jingjing is a beautiful, popular celebrity with countless public personas. One day, one of those personas is exposed... A quick note I update in batches, so I might post several chapters on the same 272.9kFavorites1.6MClicks/ch72kGifts

   This seems to be the first novel I ever read. I've forgotten the plot, I'll catch up when I reread it. It's about celebrities and professional gamers. I personally think the casting for the TV series was pretty good.

8. 8 小 My Desk Mate 小同桌 Jiang Zhiyu姜之鱼Danmei (BL)200k WordsCompleted [The print edition under the same title is now available] The ferocious Tan Ye returns after taking time off from school, with a new deskmate. His new deskmate is handsome, well-off, and serious. Who would have guessed he’s actually a little dummy?

   I've forgotten a bit of the plot, but it was probably quite bland, a typical campus romance novel. The protagonist (uke) has a somewhat soft and cute feel, but he's portrayed as a bit mentally challenged. However, I remember that the protagonist was originally supposed to be mentally challenged (not meant to be derogatory).

9. 9 过 Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles 过桥米线 Kung Fu Baozi功夫包子Danmei (BL)472k WordsCompleted Remember to add the story to your favorites! Getting the case solved while falling in love and all that is what makes it exciting, tsk tsk! [Keeping the blurb simple this time] Qiao Jia: "Damn! I'm an informant, but do I have to eat rice noodles every time I give you a tip? You could at least be a little more generous and get me a rice bowl or something!"

   Such a great story is actually free... Back then, I was saying I wouldn't read anything about mutual top/bottom relationships or anything unclean, but after reading it, everything was cured. Mutual top/bottom relationships are truly delicious! [Heart eyes] And it's written very professionally. It gave me so much excitement back then. Thank you for your support!

My next book will be "The Blind Little Wife Who Takes Over His Younger Brother". Shi Ke had a secret. By day, he was a gloomy college guy who wore a faded white shirt and black-rimmed glasses. In private, however, he was an anonymous blogger who sold photos of himself in women's clothes online, charming the "big brothers" on his follower list into sending him one transfer after another. At last, one day, Shi Ke's luck ran out. During a ph 4.1kFavorites4.9kClicks/ch3.1kGifts

    It's a decent but unremarkable story with one bottom and multiple tops. I'm not into cross-dressing or anything like that, so I didn't really enjoy it. But if it suits your taste, you should enjoy reading it. I especially like Yan Heng's character design.

    Curator note

    Oh my god, what an adorable book! Yan Liangyu's writing style has always resonated with me. She tells a complete case in just ten thousand words, and her lighthearted writing style allows me to feel the fear and suspense alongside the protagonist. It's wonderful. The title is also perfect; the protagonist is blind, hence the name "No Light," and he even names the other protagonist "No Light." But in the end, the two "Detectives Without Light" find the truth and bring light back to the world. [Biting handkerchief] Thank you, goddess, for cooking! [Hugging thigh]

That white figure looked so familiar... Then I looked up at the mirror while washing my face. The truth was immediately clear... I never saw her again after that... I slept as though I had gone mad, waiting endlessly and dreaming, until that white figure appeared again... [A short Narcissus story. The protagonists meet in a dream.] A story of healing and growth.

    Curator note

    This was the first Narcissus novel I read that was somewhat stream-of-consciousness in style. It was exceptionally well-written and very philosophical. I've left a long review in the comments section, so I won't go into detail here. It's definitely worth reading. Thanks for the writing!
