Group Gender-Bender Stories: Multiple Transformations, Gender-Bender Yuri, and More, with Two or More Characters
This list collects stories featuring group transformation. I won't include abandoned ones. I really want more group-transformation stories, so please recommend some! Group transformation, multiple transformations, and dual transformations are all welcome. Gender-swapped characters are welcome too. If I've missed any group-transformation stories, please send me a private message and I'll add them. Thanks!
Books I've Read and Enjoyed ≡Ω≡
Sharing some gems I've dug up over the years. I read all kinds of things: gender-bender romance, yuri, and male-protagonist stories. These days I prefer male protagonists, probably because I've been on SF for so long, but I'll read other genres too if they're well written.
Bro, I've Never Begged Anyone in My Life! (My Bro Turns into a Girl)
Brothers who know each other inside out, their everyday lives full of little clashes. The most important part of gender-bender stories is the changing emotional dynamic, and accepting your suddenly transformed identity. The psychological details and changes in behavior mean you can no longer think of yourself as a guy. As your bro, of course I have to comfort you properly!!! Let me feel if it's nice and round, hehe.
Dragon Girls and Other Fun Reads (Purely Personal Picks)
Last updated 2024.11.18 Added new books A summary of what I like (though many books on this list don't actually fit): No pure slice-of-life romance. There needs to be a serious plot. Get out of here with that artificial sweetness! Female protagonists, whether born female or gender-swapped. Cuddling is a beautiful thing, but I'll read anything from yuri to straight romance. White-haired girls, lolis, dragon girls: yes, yes, yes, yes! A well-thought-out, detailed world that holds up to scrutiny
Gender-Bender Stories for Personal Use
Personal collection. They're all gender-bender stories, and the writing is pretty good across the board~
Frequent Transformation Stories (Mostly Transformation Troubles and Transformation Cheat Powers)
I've looked through quite a few book lists and haven't found one for this niche interest of mine (sad), so I made one myself. I've always liked stories where the protagonist can use multiple bodies, and Blood Princess was my gateway. This list definitely isn't comprehensive, and I'm pretty inconsistent, so I rarely finish an entire book. I can only guarantee that the protagonist uses multiple bodies in the early and middle parts, since most gender-bender stories end with the protagonist being tu
Stories Where the Male Lead Can Turn Back After Transforming
Some may change completely later on, but I included them anyway since they fit during the early and middle parts. This type of book doesn't have its own tag, so they're pretty hard to find. I'll add descriptions later.
A List of Well-Written, Fun Reads Beyond the Rat Race, Mostly Gender-Swap-to-Female
The romance should follow the main plot, and the main plot should at least not exist on the surface just to serve intimate scenes. Some of these are good enough to reread. Aside from Huayu, most of Shuyu's books are gender-bender-to-bride stories, but they're already well-known, aren't they? They don't really need a recommendation list, haha. My top pick is The Hermit. Most of the other recommendations steer clear of some overused tropes, and they're all a pleasure to read. A few shorter works
Recommended Gender-Bender Novels
Everyone knows how painful it is to run out of things to read, and it's even worse when there are no yuri tags, so I'm here to recommend some good yuri or TS stories~ (Novels abandoned or on hiatus for over a month will be removed from the list. I update it about once a month.) (Completed novels will stay on the list.) (There are exceptions. If I think a book is especially good, I'll keep it on the list regardless of its update status, but I'll make that clear.)
Novels I Consider Top-Tier
Novels I've dug up myself, with what I consider excellent imagination and writing.
Personal Novel Recommendations
Recommending some novels I personally think are good.
Books I've Read Over the Years
These are all books I think are pretty good.
Gender-Bender Romance, Oh My Angel (If It Weren't Gender-Bender, I'd Say So)
Do I even have to say it? Gender-bender romance! You're my god! Though I say that, not all of these are gender-bender romance stories. There might even be yuri, my least favorite genre, but nothing here is just a trope in a different outfit. They've all got something going for them.

The plot felt to me roughly like this: you become a magical girl to fight the boss, then find Seruno to fight the boss again, then find Seruno, then fight the boss again, then find Seruno again…
The theory that Milno is actually Mejiro McQueen
In previous chapters, it was mentioned that Milno's shoes had horseshoe-shaped soles, revealing her identity as a horse racer, though her true identity remained unknown. However, I personally believe Milno is actually Megaku Mickey! (Arguments are as follows): 1. As we all know, Milno is a flat-faced person who can't distinguish which side is the back, and Megaku Mickey is also flat-faced. 2. Megaku Mickey's original form is a stallion, and Milno was also transformed from a man, so her original form is also male. 3. Megaku Mickey is a black horse whose coat changes from black to white, and Milno's hair also changed from black to white due to absorbing dark energy. 4. Megaku Mickey's...
If this were a marriage proposal, I would unhesitatingly give the author a huge slap on the shoulder.
The story is finished!
First of all, congratulations on the completion! Overall, I feel it's a good book, but the author didn't handle the ending very well. Firstly, the battle scenes were too long and lacked interest. The early magical girl vs. Witch battle system wasn't particularly prominent due to the varied abilities and clashes, but the later god wars completely transformed into a contest of faith, severely limiting the methods and processes of combat. I think only the concert scene was barely passable in terms of battle description. Secondly, there was too much repetitive description in the later stages, such as the repeated resurrections of the Great Will (the real and fake Michelle), and each resurrection putting renewed pressure on the main characters...
The whole world is focused on Seruno, but I feel heartbroken for Miluno.
The story features two female leads, but from the beginning, Sereno is emphasized as crucial. She already possesses incredible time manipulation abilities, easily defeating everyone, and her power is widely acknowledged. However, the author keeps giving Sereno overpowered abilities, forcing them upon her when she doesn't want them. While her major flaws are mentioned, she's described as having no issues after using her powers to protect others and even becoming stronger. Miluno, on the other hand, feels like a minor character with little substance. She's portrayed as a saintly figure who doesn't even die for protecting others. A story with two female leads would be more like a single female lead story. Her time manipulation abilities are so strong, yet later it's just described as a speed boost – utterly ridiculous. Her spatial abilities are limited to imprisonment, with no offensive power whatsoever. She can unleash a devastating attack with her magic wand – it's absurd that no one would intervene. Sereno is portrayed as a savior, but Miluno…
This is my third read. I really miss the days when Shark was still writing about gay and yuri relationships. Is it really impossible for his new book to feature two characters turning into yuri?
Do NOT watch this with your brain! Although you can get through it, watching it with your brain will be very uncomfortable, as the main and supporting characters sometimes do some inexplicable things.
The advantages are clear, but the disadvantages also exist.
I'm currently on volume seven. This book was recommended to me by a forum user, and it's the first double-transformation novel I've read. It's very exciting and surprising. First, it's exciting. Double-transformation novels are a personal preference; those who like them will find this book perfect, while those who don't will find it full of flaws. But that's precisely where the excitement lies. Confusion, conflict, drastic ideological changes, and a mix of gay and yuri elements—the author portrays them vividly. Although some plot points in the early stages feel a bit forced, the author manages to smooth them out within a chapter or two. It's fair to say that the first few volumes are a perfectly executed slice-of-life double-transformation novel. ...
It's a double transformation, that's great! I thought it was going to be about getting married the first time I watched it, so I didn't watch it. Hurry up and bring it on!
Old bookworm identification
I've currently read up to Chapter 7, and here are some of my thoughts and understandings. First, this book is a combination of battle and slice-of-life elements, told from two perspectives, but it's clear the protagonist leans more towards Milno. The first few chapters primarily focus on the psychological changes and growth of the other character, Seruno. To be honest, I almost gave up on the book in the first few chapters, mainly because I liked Milno more, but Seruno received more screen time. Also, a major pitfall in the transformation genre is that the transformed character's personality can't be too different, so Seruno's character design probably deterred many readers. However! Here's the turning point—as you read further, the more Milno appears...
