These are solid reads and top-tier picks I’ve found by testing the waters and reviewing them.
Some are labors of love by their authors; others have settings and themes that personally caught my interest.
They’re all good stories, at least while I was reading them.
I hope the authors keep up the good work, and I hope you enjoy them too.
P.S. New books have a higher chance of being abandoned during my trial read, so please bear with me.

Trial-read rating guide:
[Grade C] Added to a genre list, if applicable.
[Grade B] Added to a genre list, if applicable, and the trial-read list. Some receive a long-form review in my column.
[Grade A] Added to a genre list, if applicable, and the trial-read list, with a long-form review in my column. I also follow updates, and sometimes tip the author.
The difference between A and B is purely a matter of personal taste. There’s little difference in the quality of the stories.

Lin Yin said: "Si Chen, you should be kind to yourself."
Lin Yin said: "Si Chen, I am willing to be nice to you."
Lin Yin said: "Si Chen, I will not leave you."
When Lin Yin said these words, Chen Si was dismissive. There was only one person he cared about, and unfortunately, that person was not Lin Yin.
Until Lin Yin broke into a room full of bombs and cuffed his hands with Chen Si and said: "Chen Si, you have not been abandoned, and I am with you."
Chen Si looked at Lin Yin's bright eyes and unconsciously thought: The person he cares about seems to be Lin Yin.
But when Lin Yin looked back on the past, he only had one wish: I hope that all the gods and Buddhas would protect you, and you would still be able to have a healthy life even if you were killed.
