  1. Shou-Focused, Shou-Spoiling Reading List 受控受苏书单 Level B For shou fans: strong shou and Mary Sue shou stories. Be warned, there’s lots of self-insert shou fantasy language! What’s that? A Mary Sue shou? Dream about it once, twice, then fall asleep dreaming. Anything can happen in a dream. 30Books111Follows1moUpdated
  2. Romance Novels I've Read: Recommendations and Warnings (言情)一些看过的文推荐/排雷 Level B Toxic, obsessive love; gloomy, twisted, yandere men; unhinged, self-destructive characters; revenge against society; chasing-the-wife-to-the-crematorium; and redemption stories. I don't mind whether the heroine suffers. I love intense relationships and 1v1 pairings. 27Books2.3kFollows2moUpdated
  3. Top-Protagonist Novel Reading Log 主攻文扫文记录 Level C I’m here for the main characters. I don’t like delicate, weak, muscular, or baby-carrying bottoms. These are early reading notes, and a lot of these would bother me now, so read with caution. 86Books295Follows2moUpdated
  4. There Are Just Too Many Great Guys in Sports Anime (Ongoing) 运动番的好男孩真的太多了(持更 Level A Some sports-themed BG novels I enjoyed. Includes volleyball, The Prince of Tennis, Hikaru no Go, Lasso, Slam Dunk, Ace of Diamond, and Run with the Wind. Most are free to read. 47Books139Follows2moUpdated
  5. My Son Comes First 攻儿大于一切 Level B I love tough, take-charge tops and cute tops, but my favorite is the physically weak top. Ongoing updates. Check the comments for content warnings. 53Books271Follows2moUpdated
  6. Korean Entertainment Series Archive 韩娱系列存档 Level C Most of these have male protagonists. I'll add more later, so feel free to leave comments and recommendations! There are recommendations in the comments too! 80Books311Follows2moUpdated
  7. Into Brooding, Possessive Men and Faux-Incest Romance? Come On In! 喜欢阴湿男,伪骨科类型你就来! Level C I'm a fan of pseudo-incest, so here are some books in that genre I've read on Jinjiang. My reviews may be heavily influenced by personal preferences, so take them with a grain of salt. 35Books141Follows2moUpdated
  8. Momo's Four-Star Reading List 末末扫文之四星书单 Level B 4 to 4.5-star reading list | Danmei only | Personal taste | All complete | No deal-breakers, proceed with caution if that matters to you!!!! Weibo: Leng Mo Mo Mo's novel reviews 84Books110Follows2moUpdated
  9. Romance Grab Bag 言情大杂烩 Level B I love romance and shipping couples. A wide variety of genres, mostly feel-good power fantasies. I clear the list out and update it from time to time. 99Books113Follows2moUpdated
  10. Great Reads, No Hardcore Shippers 好看,过激控控别来 Level A TBR pile. I read widely, care about the plot, and am very attached to the protagonists. For romance, I like mutual devotion and couples who dote on each other, with both families being well-off. Mostly danmei; for straight romance, I only read stories where the male lead is a virgin. Danmei purity fans, check the content warnings. 80Books287Follows2moUpdated
  11. Top-Lead Stories: Recommendations and Archive 主攻文推荐+存档 Level A Updated regularly. These are my subjective opinions. I'm not devoted to any one side, my tastes come first, and so do my favorite pairings. I favor intense sex, power couples, and shou-led reversals. No weak gongs in bed. I can't stand cutesy shou or weak shou. 45Books102Follows2moUpdated
  12. All-You-Can-Read Soccer Novels 足球文量大管饱 Level C I prefer stories that balance on-field and off-field scenes. The premise can be abstract, but the writing has to feel grounded. This list only includes things to my taste, so there are no negative reviews. 73Books280Follows2moUpdated
  13. Currently Reading or Caught Up ① (Protagonist-Fan Version) 在看or已追平①(主角控版) Level B Mostly male-lead no-romance and BL. I'll remove anything I dislike or don't care for. The only thing that matters is whether I enjoy it. When a story gets me excited, I'll write a long review and change its rating to five stars. Free five stars. 100Books115Follows2moUpdated
  14. New G-Dragon (Kwon Ji-yong) Fics 4.0 新增的权志龙GD文4.0 Level C Long Ge is active again, and there are so many more stories now. I feel like a mouse that fell into a rice jar, kkk. I've readjusted some of the books (most are ongoing). 81Books535Follows2moUpdated
  15. Disaster Survival Series 天灾求生系列文 Level B Apocalypse survival stories. I dig up a couple whenever I feel like it, and occasionally sneak in some personal favorites in the comments. 21Books165Follows2moUpdated
  16. Crime Stories With a Female Lead Driving the Investigation 女主是破案主力的刑侦文 Level A Modern criminal investigations, no fantasy golden fingers. The female lead is generally a detective. I don't read stories where the male lead is a detective and the female lead is just his assistant. Nothing below five stars is a recommendation. 18Books147Follows2moUpdated
  17. For Pure BG Fans: Enjoy, You're Guaranteed to Be Satisfied 纯血BG党请享用,包您满意 Level A Master and disciple, pseudo-incest, aloof beauties, gloomy men, forbidden romance, boys and girls, school life, dog training, says one thing but means another, Pride and Prejudice, underlings rising above their superiors, cute stories, faked deaths 79Books360Follows2moUpdated

  19. Historical BG 古言bg Level A I love stories with nuanced romance~ (These are the kinds of stories I tend to recommend.) Unless something unexpected happens, I'll be recommending xianxia, fantasy, and alternate-history stories. 39Books327Follows2moUpdated
  20. Reading Log, Bottom-Role Leaning 1 偏受阅文记录1 Level A Everything from serious, non-feminizing portrayals to gender-bending is included. I quietly remove authors who turn out to be a huge red flag, but I can’t guarantee I’ve weeded out every minor issue. My bottom line is that the seme must be a virgin. I’ve noted most of my dealbreakers and dislikes. 100Books185Follows2moUpdated
  21. Top-Led and Top-Favoring Romance Reading Log 3 主攻/互宠偏攻吃饭记录3 Level B Weak in bed, obsessed with domineering gongs, mistreats gongs, has unusual eating habits. 80Books261Follows2moUpdated
  22. Just Let Me Have a Bite: Pure Boys' Love Best-Of List 【让我吃口】纯爱红榜纯享版 Level A Selfcest / switching / nonhuman characters / older tops / AA romance / handsome tops and pretty bottoms / rivals-to-lovers / emperors. Comforting kinks are what matter most. Finished and fully read, highly recommended: worth every penny. 30Books339Follows2moUpdated
  23. A Seme Fan? No Human Rights for You () i苏攻人没有人权() Level B Gong-focused, with the gong as the idealized one. If the shou is more idealized than the gong, it doesn't count; if the shou's devotion isn't overwhelmingly directed at the gong, it doesn't count as gong-focused. Right now I like charismatic, swoon-worthy gongs and shous who are hopeless romantics and devoted wives. I love seeing the gong shine. 6Books225Follows2moUpdated
  24. Plot-Driven, Smart Female-Led Stories [All Complete] 主剧情的大女主有脑文【全完结】 Level A My priorities are 1. prose, 2. worldbuilding, 3. plot, 4. logic, 5. values...

  25. Sis’s All-Time Favorites, Bought and Read Again and Again 姐美美全订并反复欣赏 Level B A few of these books made me want to go back and reread them while I was writing the reviews. My list of favorites ^ ^ Ongoing updates 29Books660Follows2moUpdated
  26. A Roundup of Books I Can Reread Over and Over (Ongoing) 总结个人可N刷的书(持续更新) Level A I read a bit of everything. This is a personal roundup, with a preference for slice of life, comedy, sports, fanfiction, farming, infinite flow, cultivation, and more. Really, I'll read anything (●v●) 88Books1.3kFollows2moUpdated
  27. For Rereading: Novels with Truly Stunning Prose 反复看自用,真的文笔很绝一类文 Level B All completed and ready to binge. A mix of no-CP stories with male protagonists and shou-centric danmei. Updated from time to time, with a focus on less popular titles. 85Books240Follows2moUpdated
  28. Don't Subscribe 别订 Level C If it has illustrations, you can get some water drops. This is just ridiculous, I’m so done with it. 100Books1.9kFollows2moUpdated
  29. I Love Tragic, Powerful Bottoms 爱看美强惨受 Level B As the title says, I like cat-coded shou. I hardly ever pay attention to who the author is. Some have drama around them, and there may be major issues in the other stories that I don’t know about. Slowly adding more stories 39Books130Follows2moUpdated
  30. Historical Boys' Love 古代纯爱 Level A One (ongoing) 79Books3.4kFollows2moUpdated
  31. One Woman, Many Men: Love Triangle or 1V1 Good Stuff 一女多男修罗场or1v1香饭 Level C Click here for a whole lot of male rivalry and jealous showdowns: brotherly threesomes, fox spirits, domestic husbands, nonhumans, girl tops/boy bottoms, terrible men, gloomy male ghosts... 34Books409Follows2moUpdated
  32. Novels That Impressed This Old Hand in 2025–2026 25-26年惊艳了老书虫的作品 Level C I don't usually recommend books unless they've made a strong impression on me. The Top rankings aren't in any particular order, and the other works each have their own strengths. How much I write about a book depends on inspiration and doesn't reflect its quality. 20Books164Follows2moUpdated
  33. Female-Dominated, Female Tops, Alpha Women and Omega Men 女尊,女攻,女a男o Level B I'll list them all here, hoping everyone finds something to enjoy. I also hope someone will recommend some to me!

  35. What Happened? Focus on Bottoms! 发生什么了专注凝受! Level A I favor the bottom. Bottom characterization comes before everything else. My tastes include beautiful, strong and tragic characters, handsome and swoon-worthy men, beloved crowd favorites, sickly characters, and cute bottoms. Major turnoffs include impure tops, a top who sleeps around, and ambiguous relationships between tops. Read my reviews before starting. 83Books2.3kFollows2moUpdated
  36. Top-Tier Seme Favorites: All from the Seme's POV!! 攻控yyds全部主攻视角!! Level C For updates, check out my other list. This one is full.

  38. Hey, Underclassman, Want Some Dog-Blood Drama? 嗨学妹来点狗血文吗 Level A Forced possession, groveling redemption, melodrama, old-school angst, triggering tropes, stand-ins, white moonlights, unrequited devotion, and so on. Everyone else hates you, but I have unusual tastes. For personal use. Omnivorous. No trigger warnings, and I don’t avoid authors based on gossip. 21Books206Follows2moUpdated
  39. Female-Protagonist Agency: Plot First, Romance Second 主体性女主-剧情为主,感情为辅 Level B I'm here for the female leads: powerful or growing, charismatic, and in control. The supporting cast should hold up, and any romance should never overshadow the story. Mostly plot-driven, with romance on the side. 64Books2.4kFollows2moUpdated
  40. Top-Focused, Quick Transmigration, Mpreg, Handsome Top 主攻(快穿多+生子+美1) Level C Bottom gives birth | Handsome, muscular top and slender bottom | Weak top, strong bottom | Bottom takes control | Original top is the target of the seduction | Powerful in bed | Purity status uncertain, labeled individually | He 31Books108Follows2moUpdated

  42. Mutual Pampering, Top-Leaning: Only Stories You Can Read with a Top Preference 互宠偏攻实测(只收偏攻能看版) Level B Mutual devotion, with a preference for the gong. I’m fine with both characters reciprocating and making sacrifices, but the shou must be strong. No gong who’s only strong in bed, or shou who’s only pretending to be strong. A list of treasured favorites. Star ratings are based on how likely I am to reread them. 36Books221Follows2moUpdated
  43. Strong, Handsome, Muscular Bottoms: I Eat Them All Up (1) 强受帅受壮受我吃吃吃(一) Level C For personal use, focused exclusively on bottoms. A record of finding gems in the trash. I only have preferences regarding the type of bottom. I don't care at all whether the top is attractive, and I reject switches and reversed pairings. 100Books477Follows2moUpdated
  44. Top-Centric, Mutual Pampering, Slightly Bottom-Leaning (1) 主攻互宠偏受(1) Level B Stories that seem mutually doting or lean toward the shou are usually fine for me. These are ones I could keep reading and felt might lean toward the shou. I don't follow up to see if the author later changes direction. 100Books281Follows2moUpdated
  45. Finished or Ongoing Yuri 看完/正在追的百合文 Level B Rereading and rerating these on an ongoing basis. The new version of the description is coming soon. 66Books251Follows2moUpdated
  46. Sickly, Self-Destructive, and PTSD 一些病弱,自毁,ptsd Level B A collection of the list maker’s trashy personal preferences. Some are fanfiction, some are original, and they cover a huge range. They’re all books I reread; barring surprises, they’re all BL. 32Books221Follows2moUpdated
  47. Ensemble-Cast Recommendations 群像推文 Level A Recommendations. I'll add whatever comes to mind. Includes derivative works, no-CP, BL, and BG, so browse with caution if any of that bothers you. 60Books239Follows2moUpdated
  48. A Little of Everything, Four- and Five-Star Reads, Danmei with Bottoms Only, Part 2 杂食四五星,仅耽美主受② Level A [Includes reviews] I read an extremely broad range, as long as it's original danmei with a shou protagonist and well written, regardless of genre [except quick transmigration]. All of these are completed stories I've finished and bought in full. 63Books1.5kFollows2moUpdated
  49. A Cozy Little Haven for Mutual Pampering, Mostly Bottoms 互宠偏受妙妙屋 Level A Beautiful, strong, tragic, beloved-by-all, adorable little sunshine, aloof, powerful, brilliant bottoms, and their love-struck tops. Extreme SK fans, beware. GK fans, stay away. May include everyone-getting-equal-attention dynamics. 41Books462Follows2moUpdated
  50. The Male Lead Is Unhinged 男主有病 Level C My personal tastes: unhinged male leads, villainous male leads, and obsessive male leads, whether their madness is outwardly expressed or kept beneath the surface. Classic and recent works appear at random, so purity-focused readers read at their own risk. 26Books118Follows2moUpdated
