Switchable or Reversible Transformations
Gender-bender fiction is becoming increasingly geared toward women, as if every gender-bender story is doomed to end badly for guys. ... Eighty-one against six hundred thousand: we have the advantage! These are gender-bender stories where keeping a male body or identity has lasting significance. Most are over a million words, and even the shorter ones have at least 400,000. Finding them is like searching for a needle in a haystack! (If a story meets the criteria but isn't readable, I won't recom
Nocturne for a Certain Nun
Recently added divine reads, with lesser-known books prioritized. (Mainly niche stories, no NTR or harems.) Also recommending some of my favorite Japanese light novel classics: Kieli, The Dragon Girl, Shoki Ginyuroku, The Tale of the Desert Kingdom, and Where the Wings Rest. I came to these from reading Japanese light novels. These few genuinely moved me. They're light novels that are now rather obscure. Looking back, when I first started reading novels, I was always searching for the spark in p
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!
An Absolutely Top-Tier Reading List
No padding. I only include books I think are enjoyable. I read pretty broadly, but mostly gender-bender romance and GL. Absolutely no forced harem stories. I'll tag every book. Ongoing list. There are so few books on BLB that grab you at a glance these days. 🥲🥲
For Single Readers
It's so hard to find books about single characters, Kora.
Personal List: Gender-Swap Yuri / Gender-Swap Romance / Yuri / Single Female Leads
Updated: 2026/8/29 An occasionally updated reading list (mostly for clearing out dropped novels) This list seems to be getting shorter and shorter (sigh) There are dropped novels and authors everywhere. Read what you can while it's still here. What a shame: some books came back to life only to die again, and I haven't found any good new ones either. Whatever you do, don't read "Tonight, Too, the Witch Who Saves the World (by Fan Xia Zhi Feng)". If you do, feel free to join me in roasting the aut
Just for Fun
Most are TS. These stories take their writing seriously and rarely rely on tired internet memes.
Everyday Gender-Bending Stories
I don't have many to recommend. Slice-of-life novels are genuinely rare, and even fewer are the kind I actually enjoy. Every now and then I'll also recommend something outside the slice-of-life genre, since great works aren't limited to just one category. A Certain Red Fruit:
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.
A Wonderful Personal List of Mostly Pure-Love Yuri
A collection of novels I personally think are good. P.S. Most are romance between men and women. P.S. After sorting through them, I realized there are so few good ones. ( P.S. Updated irregularly. Date: 2025.12.31 P.P.S. It's been several months since I last read on Bilibili Comics. I added one book this time and removed most of the genderbender-to-romance stories. I used to think that both genderbender stories and genderbender-to-romance stories were about finding love one had never experienced
Female Protagonist, Yuri, Single Pairing
Mostly decent. Most are complete. Still tweaking the list.
Sweet? Sweet! Sweet!
The reviews aren't objective and the ratings are purely subjective, but if we're reading Japanese-style light novels, do we really need to think that hard?
Personal Picks: Female Leads and Gender-Bender Stories
A collection of female-protagonist and gender-bender stories I personally find interesting.
Transformation, Transformation, Transformation
Stories about girls who have transformed into heroines. May you find a new beginning in this world. (All sorts of stories included.) The order doesn't indicate ranking. An * marks a particularly unusual style that most people might not enjoy. One other book used to be here, but was rebooted on Ciweimao: "The Sufficient but Not Necessary Conditions for Becoming a Shipgirl" Ones marked as abandoned (cough) probably won't be updated again. I removed some short stories that were abandoned. I've rem
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
My Recommended Reading List
Just some books I personally like
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 Few Interesting Books
Some books I think are pretty decent, but that not many people read. (I'll keep updating...)
Amateur Novel Digger, Logging Hidden Gems I Stumble Across
Most of these are free, since their performance isn't great and they're unlikely to become paid. Influenced by my reading preferences, this list mainly features non-fantasy books with female protagonists. Most offer a little food for thought about the real world, and might even teach us something about how to live. Of course, they haven't forgotten to entertain, either.
Magical Girl?
Two really good magical-girl stories, plus a book by an online friend of mine. These are personal picks.

Although it's likely that most people haven't paid much attention or forgotten, the heroes in this game are actually treated quite well. In the early days, there were indeed compensation disputes caused by the destruction of cities due to the large-scale battles fought by the heroes, but with the changes in the association and the acquisition and control by many companies, the heroes rarely need to bear compensation anymore. This is a fairly core setting, since the various issues behind it will be mentioned many times later.
Hey everyone! It's a new cover! Although viewers who missed the third season might not know who the black-clad person is, they're definitely the most important person to Kokoro! So it's only natural to feature them here~ [sfem:24:799] Thank you all for your continued support, and I will continue to create content for free in the future! (Please feel free to comment and critique! Thank you! Your support is my motivation!)
11,000 Words updated! I've been relegated to being a concierge, forced to stand for 9 hours a day and do all sorts of errand-running customer service. I'm exhausted...
Happy New Year!! Wishing everyone a happy and fulfilling new year! [Sfem:9:468][sfem:24:805]
The character designs for Meruru and Yu Hua were updated at the end of Season 1, Chapter 44 and Season 2, Chapter 25. Hope you like them.
I've already accumulated three episodes. As a working stiff, updating daily is just too difficult...
The author, who sped up updates but still felt there was little discussion, seems to be losing interest. [Sfem:9:456]
It was like finding gold in the trash, it was so good! I stayed up for several nights to finish it. It's the most enjoyable watch I've had this year on Pineapple Bun.
Simple review
Overall, I really enjoyed this novel. I recommend reading it; it's not mindless, has depth, and the author clearly has something to express. The descriptions of battles, emotions, and scenes are all good, and it's a writing style I personally like. The author's character development is excellent; the protagonist is so pitiful that you can't help but feel indignant on his behalf, haha. My personal thought is that the supporting characters, due to their own tragedies, can commit evil deeds without restraint, and are then redeemed by the protagonist and lead normal lives. Meanwhile, the protagonist is a good person, and good people are always being targeted, which is naturally frustrating. It's not ideal, but it seems realistic. However, attempted assault is not innocent. Whether it's the Black Armor Knight in the first volume (...
My humble opinion on arrogance and conceit (apologies in advance 🙏)
The writing isn't bad, but I have two points to make. First, the satire feels somewhat superficial. This isn't something you can just talk about; it's the arrogance and haughtiness hidden in people's subtle actions, amplified through language. (Of course, if you're just writing for fun, then disregard what I'm saying. If you feel offended or think I'm just rambling, then I apologize in advance 🙏. Seriously, can this really be written for fun? 🤔) Second, the protagonist has a certain submissive charm. Appropriate resistance is perfectly reasonable; confusion and rebellion are essential parts of growth, especially with such an abstract worldview...
