Yuri and Pure Yuri Recommendations
Recommending some gender-bender yuri and pure yuri stories, with star ratings and some thoughts on the ones I've read. Hopefully, there won't be any poison pills. Rated from 1 to 5 stars (subjectively), with a preference for new releases. Think of this as a weekly tasting and selection. I don't rate new books, just give my personal recommendations (there are barely any new books worth reading, after all). Update: I realized I've recommended quite a few axed stories, so I'll try to weed them out.

Yuri and Gender-Bender Novels
Some have a little angst
Personal Recommendations, Mostly Pure-Love Yuri
Mostly yuri. Gender-bender stories will have the tag "gender-bender"; without it, they're straight yuri. A small number have single characters. Mostly pure romance, with a few very well-written multi-partner romances. If I haven't specified whether a story is monogamous or a harem, I haven't decided yet. Note: I only recommend books after finishing the main story or catching up to the latest chapter. Extras aren't included. Note: Since books often get abandoned, everything on this list has at le
How Lonely It Is to Be Invincible (Female Protagonists, Yuri, and Invincibility!)
Most of these are probably genderbender stories, though there might be some with a female lead from the start. There probably won't be a male protagonist or a marriage ending, except for the adorable Mu Mu. I'll label stories as truly invincible or only seemingly invincible. Just being strong or taking a hit doesn't count, and getting humbled at home definitely doesn't count. Here are my recommendations for now. I'll check out more later.
Transformation Novels (My Personal Picks, Including a Few Gender-Bender-to-Female Romance Stories)
There are fewer and fewer gender-bender stories on Palulu. Most of these are romance.
A Variety Shop of Gender-Bender Recommendations, Just for Fun (Updated Irregularly)
I've been reading on Bilibili Lite for a while, and when I opened my bookshelf, I thought, why is it all gender-bender fiction? (lol) I won't claim to be an expert, but I figured I'd take this chance to share some of the interesting, worthwhile gender-bender stories I've found since joining Bilibili Lite, across a range of styles. (Only books I've read are included.)
Mostly Western Fantasy, Gender-Bender Yuri, Pure Romance, Lots of Sweet Moments
Only pure romance. Long live pure romance ≧▽≦ I've read pretty much all of these, and none of them have anything objectionable. Drop by if you happen to be interested. P.S. There are so few gender-bender stories with pure romance. There are barely any genuine yuri stories, either. I update this list often, and I'll remove anything I find objectionable. (Moderation, come on, this is getting ridiculous. Why make sharing a list so difficult? Are you rejecting it just because the recommendation bl
The Leftovers After a Picky Reader's Purge
I'm not picky, and this list covers a pretty wide range, with some mind games, yuri, TS, harem, and overpowered-protagonist stories. The list has a clear personal bias in its choice of genres, but I've done my best to weed out most of the bad stuff and dealbreakers. I've also added my own subjective ratings.
S-Tier Masterpieces That Swept Me Away
📖 Beautiful, flowing prose that doesn't disrupt the reading experience with awkward sentences or unclear expression. 🎬 A brisk, tightly plotted story with solid logic and continuity, no plot holes, and a pace that keeps you reading straight through. No empty, meandering filler. 🌟 Rich, well-executed details that feel real and immersive. Unexpected details can bring a knowing smile and create a unique kind of fun. 🤓 Fun is essential, the finest offering to the God of Fun! 🧑🎨 Characters stay true
Completed or Long Yuri I Like (Mostly Gender-Bender Yuri)
Mostly stories with gender-swapped protagonists. I'll flesh this out when I have time. I usually add books I've finished or am following. I left out some especially famous ones. Some of these I read a long time ago, so I'm sorry if I labeled anything incorrectly.
High-Quality Books I've Read on SF
Just a collection of some masterpieces I've read or am currently reading. There are many well-known, high-quality long novels, such as Blade's Edge, that I haven't included because they're so long I can't find the time to catch up. Please understand. I casually kept track of this list, and it somehow got over a hundred follows. Thanks to everyone on Bilibili Comics for your support. I haven't really looked for new books on the site this past year, so I guess I need to catch up. I'll rate each
Quality Guaranteed, Easy-to-Read Yuri, Mostly Cute and Fluffy
Emmm, transmigration into someone else's body doesn't usually appear here, because I'm not particularly fond of it. It feels like taking someone else's life. As for the descriptions, I'll just give a brief summary. (Minor spoilers.) P.S. All the books are quality reads, so you won't regret checking them out. I'll mark any that have been abandoned.

These are all books I really like. There are both romance and harem stories.
Yuri Recommendations
I first opened this app in December 2023. Here are some yuri novels I've read and want to recommend. Some are older books I dug up while treasure hunting, while others are currently updating or were just released and have already become favorites of mine. I've included a mix of both. They're all about girls getting together, but they also explore a variety of worlds and genres. Some feature overpowered characters, some are healing stories, and some are everyday slice-of-life. But above all, they

The author is such a divine being! Aww!
It's been almost three months since I've come across a book on Pineapple Bun that's as refreshing as this one. First, the world-building is introduced quickly and concisely. Unlike most other novels that start with a long string of scientific explanations that severely diminish the reader's interest, this book cleverly avoids this awkwardness by using a news broadcast analogy. A few sentences introduce key elements such as "another world," "multi-race," "modern world," "the reclusive female demon king," and "the retired sword saint." Reading a novel isn't like historical research; for the reader, knowing these key points is enough. Second, the plot unfolds very quickly. Many authors nowadays like to drag out the introduction of the second protagonist, but this book...
Character portrayal still needs improvement
I deliberately read through the entire book before writing this review, but surprisingly, despite its decent popularity, there are so few reviews. I even gave some virtual currency to support this review (my first time giving a gift in 6 years 😂). I really love this work, so I'm here to point out some flaws. The biggest problem right now is that the characters aren't three-dimensional or diverse enough. Characters need to be both gentle and dignified; the dignified aspects should be conveyed. Characters shouldn't be blank slates where whatever's drawn on them is what they are. Character portrayals are multifaceted. Leaving aside the Sword Saint, even if her character is mindless and only focused on conquering the Demon King, it wouldn't be a problem (although I think if she discovered herself...).
It looked pretty good at the beginning, but the ending was quite disappointing.
Personally, I felt that the storyline and character development before the "Anomaly" (including this volume) were quite well-written, creating an irresistible attraction and interest that made me want to keep reading. Perhaps it was because Leticia's tsundere character was particularly endearing. The details of her character varied under her multiple identities; she sometimes displayed the carefree, lazy attitude of a homebody, and at other times, the mischievous and intriguing psychology of a demon king. Sometimes, these contradictory character traits made her even more vivid. She clearly harbored resentment and hatred towards Bai Ling, a nightmare in her dreams and a demon in her heart. Although this was foreshadowing her later "rebirth" after the fall and rise, it's not hard to see the connection between Leticia and Bai Ling...
Having read this far, it's a pretty good long-running yuri (lesbian) novel.
Some say their romantic storyline is too weak, but I don't think so. Whether it's the time they spend together, or facing powerful enemies side-by-side, from the mutual trust between the Mist Gods, to Bai Ling's fearless rescue of Leticia, and then to the demigod sea monster battle, where Leticia first realized Bai Ling's place in her heart and decided to fight alongside him—this was also their first kiss—then came the Dream God. This boss's seal had fewer restrictions on her, and in this challenge, Leticia overcame her inner demons and confessed her love to Bai Ling in a dream. Now, a new god has appeared; I believe that with their combined efforts, they will surely be safe and sound...
I highly recommend this excellent yuri novel!
Tags: Yuri, Pure Romance. I followed this book for quite a while, all the way to the first chapter of the last volume. Since there weren't any new chapters at the time, and I thought the book was well-written, I reread it from the beginning, so I only recently got to the ending. I think the best thing about this book is its relatively even distribution of intimate scenes and plot. Several yuri novels I've read before felt like they had less intimate content and more plot, often just a loop of intimate scenes followed by a plot segment, with no intimate scenes within the main story. While this book also mainly consists of intimate scenes interspersed with plot, the plot, except for key moments, is generally developed alongside the intimate scenes...
The "Slacker Demon King" will never encounter a simp swordsman.
The most appealing type of demon king and hero novel to me right now is the tsundere (proud and arrogant) uke (bottom) type.
My favorite part is the delicate yet respectful relationship between Lady and Bai tide. Lady is like a kitten newly moved into a new home, wary of her surroundings, but gradually lowering her guard with Bai Xi. Although she remains stubborn, her heart has softened. This gradual opening up is sweet and warm, yet not abrupt. However, initially, Lady and Bai Xi were more like enemies, with Lady being coerced. It wasn't until the appearance of the gods that they gradually began to unite. Currently, it seems that Bai Xi's predecessors might cause some problems in the future. I hope the author handles the delicate relationship between Lady, Bai tide, and the gods well...
The premise is interesting, but the underlying world-building is somewhat weak.
The opening is refreshing, but the author's writing skills are clearly lacking. It fails to construct a complete and self-consistent worldview. The dialogue also reveals its shortcomings, lacking observation of everyday details—in short, too little information. For example, if Bai Ya goes to school, it would reveal some school information, such as recent school events; and the protagonist's actions would more or less appear in news reports, entering the public eye and being presented in different ways from an ordinary person's perspective. However, it largely just repeats the "Sword Saint" and "Demon King" settings over and over again. If it were set against the backdrop of ordinary people's daily lives...
A book copied from Lady's style went viral on Weibo.
