Hidden Gems with Excellent Writing
(Includes Western fantasy, other worlds, epics, science fiction, and more.) This list features fantasy works with a variety of styles, all of them high quality. Most of the authors are incredibly dedicated, with substantial word counts. Quite a few have been serialized for over six years, and some even date back to the site's early days as a forum. These are diamonds buried in coal, waiting for someone to pick them up. (Updated irregularly. Check the bottom of the list for new additions.) (Ratin

Some Great Stories with Smaller Audiences
This list prioritizes plot. The prose only needs to be passable. Aside from the completed books, everything here is either updated slowly or abandoned. They all have enough chapters to make for a satisfying binge, though.
Maybe Obscure (New) and Old Stories
On this list, 'old books' means novels that began serialization before 2026; anything after that counts as new. Pinecone Bun's tags are so poorly done that old books are incredibly hard to find. I made this list mainly to recommend good older books you can't find on the completed list, as well as distinctive stories and some new ones I'm reading. It includes gender-bender GL, gender-bender romance, and male-lead stories. The order only reflects the sequence in which I remembered the books while
Unfinished Yuri-Flavored and Gender-Bender Reads (Especially Well-Written)
These are all carefully selected, unfinished GL stories with excellent structure, worldbuilding, themes, and writing. I may add exceptionally good completed works later. The books on this list are almost all still updating. I don't distinguish between angst and fluff. // A star ★ marks a highly recommended work (up to two stars). A double slash marks a work that hasn't updated in a long time but is unlikely to be abandoned. I read mostly academic books (natural sciences and humanities and soci
Traffic Lock, Be Gone!
This list features 30 hidden gems from Bilibili Lite. It includes works of all kinds, including niche genres and themes. Every novel is excellent from start to finish, and quite a few authors have even won awards in past writing contests. I hope these books find more readers.
You, Blooming Like a Winter Flower (Yuri)
[Updated 12.28] Includes both yuri and gender-bender yuri. I'm busy with school and don't have time to read for now. I'll look for more books when I get the chance. I've put together some books I personally think are good. There'll be both popular and more obscure titles. I'll do my best to sum up their pros and cons. I'll check back regularly and add more good books. How quickly I update depends on how much I read. If you like this list, please give it a like. Pretty please (≧∇≦)/
Some Novels with Good Plots, Both Straight and Yuri
I can finally make a reading list! I don't like gender-bender romance. I've read both yuri and solo-protagonist stories, and I'll recommend some that I think are good. (Most importantly, most of them are really long!)
Western Fantasy, 1v1, Plot-Focused Yuri, Let's Go!
I like Western fantasy novels that focus on plot, but there are so few of them on Boba Bun that I can never get enough! So I made this list both to share what I've read and to ask others to share recommendations.
Pure Western Fantasy
No rebirth, gender transformation, or transmigration elements. For now, the recommendations only list the CP and serialization status. "Not sure" means I can't tell yet, or it may have been cut short.
Feel-Good, Healing Stories with Female Leads
Includes invincible stories, wish-fulfillment stories, and stories with dominant leads.
Free Novels, Lots of Gems!
Free novels. The last nine are long-form stories. As everyone knows, free novels on Boba Bun are like hidden masters: they may not even be listed on the platform, but they're actually incredibly powerful. Some books were added before I'd read them. I'll gradually fill in my reviews as I read them. Some wouldn't fit elsewhere, so I'm listing them here: A Breeze Through the Realm The Magic Era: Apocalypse Ahter Raymond Gailton How Could This Be Poetry Appreciation? Don't Take Yourself So Seriously
Books Worth Sitting Down to Read Closely
I hope this list gives you a different reading experience. These are mostly subjective opinions, and my reviews of unfinished books may be a little off. My criteria include good prose, a good premise, strong characterization, emotional resonance, and a smooth, engaging plot. I consider all of these before adding a book.
Currently Reading and Want to Read
Most are yuri. I'm not very good at judging plot quality, so if some of these books aren't that good, there's nothing I can do about it.
Dreaming Butterfly Flower
It's so helpless, so sad, so hopeless. How do you learn to live with loneliness? I ask myself, but there's no answer. I give up thinking, empty my mind, and go on living this dull life.
If You Like Plot-Driven Yuri, This List Might Help
I've been using Bilibili Comics for almost ten years, so I have at least a basic ability to judge stories. This list mainly features some rare, plot-driven yuri stories. In an era when Bilibili Comics is dominated by fluffy, low-stakes stories, authors who still write plot-driven yuri are truly precious. I don't want their heartfelt works to be buried, so I hope everyone will support them. I really don't want authors to drop these already-rare gems because they aren't getting enough readers or
Yuri Novels with Good Writing and Content
A few novels recommended based on my personal taste. Some are more popular, some less so, but I think they're all great reads ^ω^ Hope you enjoy them too (´▽`)ノ♪ I tend to prefer cozy, heartwarming daily life, but I also enjoy some exciting battles now and then to set my heart, now a pool of stagnant water, ablaze. (One last thing: being limited to 30 books is way too restrictive! There are still more I want to add!)
Yuri with Great Writing
Everyone has their own preferences, so I won't rate anything. I'll just share the novels I love.
[Personal Picks] Rare Gems (Mostly Female-Led)
Updated whenever I feel like it. 2023.9 Introduction: I come to SF to read stories with female protagonists (1: I'm tired of male-protagonist stories; 2: If I wanted to read those, why would I come to SF? Of course, there are exceptions for truly outstanding ones). But I don't like yuri unless the writing is exceptionally good, so many of these are gender-swap marriage stories. #The main text begins here I've been reading novels for many years. I was bored, so I made this list to collect the g
If It's Good, That's All That Matters.
Mostly GL and SFL stories. How will you know if they're your thing unless you give them a try? (The list is full. I occasionally swap out recommendations, so feel free to browse my bookshelf.)

The official fan fiction spin-off, *Twilight Grass Collection*, has been released in its entirety, opening the fourth volume of Li Shendong's "first work," *Broken Blade*. Thanks to author @SpecialRabbit for completing and appreciating the Ashes Overture world-building!
Happy New Year! See you in Volume 5!
A magical epic worth reading
"The Silver Crown: Overture" stood out from a sea of long and tedious novel titles, captivating me completely. Compared to light novels, I personally feel this book is more like a literary work. Its writing style has a feel of translated masterpieces from abroad—concise yet elegant language, without layers of flowery rhetoric. The plot unfolds in a tightly woven chain, like the anchor chain dropped from a ship, revealing a series of captivating stories that keep you on the edge of your seat. I mostly listened to the novel in read-aloud mode, somewhat like sitting in an audience listening to a storyteller (laughs). It's a slow-burning Western fantasy novel, but precisely because of that...
I came here because of its reputation; idealists shouldn't be discouraged by reality, so I'm giving it my support. I hope I can outlive the author, hahaha!
What I Saw in the Blazing White Snow—Written After the End of Volume Three
I first learned about the book *The Silver Crown: Overture* in early 2023. A friend told me about it and its author, which piqued my interest. After all, I used to be somewhat of a literary youth, and I had a natural affinity for this kind of work and its author. At the time, I was busy with my own novel, focused on how to cleverly please readers while simultaneously achieving so-called "hardcore" success. My mind was restless, and I had no time to stop and read carefully. Thus, I was deterred by the opening dream metaphors and the initially unclear flashback narrative, and shelved it, thinking...
Kids, I've been added to the "Avoid This" list on the Baidu Tieba forum, everyone get out of here!
Greetings, Michael!
Let me demonstrate how to breathe: Hah—!
The main storyline of Volume 4 has finally come to an end…
