Marriage-to-the-Palace Stories Collection
As the title says, all the heroines are part of the male protagonist's harem. I mainly made this collection for myself to revisit later, so the recommendations are just rough notes. (From what I've seen, more than half of the gender-bender romance fanfics are harem stories, so I'm leaving those out.)
Personal Recommendations, All with Great Writing
I read a lot, so I thought I'd share some of my favorites.
High-Quality Gender-Bender Novels with Female Leads
Top-Tier Gender-Bender and Otherworldly Stories
Quality gender-bender novels, mostly in otherworld settings. Updated irregularly!
First-Person Gender-Bender Romance Recommendations
There seem to be pretty few gender-bender-to-bride stories told in first person, but everyone knows how immersive first-person narration can be (lol), so I've gathered some here for you to read.
Finding the Great Books Pineapple Bun Used to Have
It's hard to describe the writing style of Pinecone these days, but quite a few good books have stood the test of time. Here are some I've read and want to share.
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

Recommending Books With Truly Heartbreaking Plots
Every book here is complete, with a mix of genres, including straightforward stories, gender-bending, and gender-swapping. Overall, there are a few too many tearjerkers, so stay away if you only want fluffy, sugar-sweet stories.
High-Quality, Plot-Driven Light Novels
Wake up! Stop reading romance all day! Give your brain a workout! A lot of books on SF focus more on romance than plot, so I'm recommending some novels with excellent plots for everyone to choose from.
Gender-Bender Novels
Recommending the great transformation novels I’ve discovered. Single-couple romances, gender-bender-to-male romances, and yuri.

Regarding the issue of accidental killing at the beginning
Many comments seem to focus on the protagonist's accidental killing of a half-elf girl without much punishment, and the protagonist's apparent indifference afterwards. Some find this unacceptable, while others accuse the former of being overly lenient. I think there's no need to dwell on it. Ancient Chinese society was similar; children from powerful families rarely faced severe punishment for their mistakes. I believe the protagonist's world is relatively fortunate; otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to reincarnate and could have killed several more people without consequence, given that his father is the youngest and most promising bishop under God! Protagonists in fantasy and xuanhuan novels often have blood on their hands...
I have something to say after watching it. Regarding the male lead...
I think the main character is very lovable, and the story is excellent, but the male lead is utterly disgusting. My overall assessment is that this novel is very enjoyable and well worth reading. However, it has significant flaws and shortcomings. The plot is perfect, the characters are perfect, and I'd deduct 7 points for the male lead, but because I really like the novel, I don't want to be too harsh; I'll deduct one point for the flaws. I think the biggest flaw isn't the world-building, or the fact that the protagonist kills someone at the beginning and doesn't receive due punishment. It's the damned romantic subplot and this damned male lead. My following comments contain spoilers. And my opinion is that I really like this book and highly recommend it. I very much...
On manslaughter
Opinions vary widely regarding the female protagonist's "accidental" killing of the girl at the beginning of the book, with some readers even launching fierce attacks on her moral values. But I say, good riddance! Not only should she be killed, but she should be killed with righteous indignation, openly, and without remorse, in front of all the readers. Only then can the blood of that innocent girl reveal the ugly face beneath the protagonist's beautiful exterior, and expose the evil nature of feudal theocracy. From a character development perspective, the accidental killing reveals the protagonist's seemingly cute and innocent appearance, but in reality, she is a self-righteous, arrogant, and indifferent figure who disregards the lives of the lower classes. The protagonist's existence is a reflection of the petit-bourgeois class in contemporary society...
Regarding the protagonist's character
First, let me state that I'm also an author, and I really don't have much time to write long reviews. So this is my first long review. Please point out any shortcomings, but please don't be overly critical. Mainly, I just couldn't stand reading those other long reviews anymore. They were full of mindless insults against the protagonist. The protagonist killed a half-elf girl, yet received no punishment. This is the main argument of those who dislike the protagonist. Are these people saints? Let me be blunt. Yes. Firstly: those with power and influence can do whatever they want; you pursue absolute fairness, a fairness that never existed before, doesn't exist now, and never will. You are full of a sense of justice, but the morality you pursue is completely detached from...
After reading the comments, I couldn't help but sigh. Marriage swapping is such a niche phenomenon (one-to-many marriage swapping is even more niche). Many readers aren't there for the reason they're interested in marriage swapping, or even specifically for it. This is the current state of marriage swapping: to others, it's bizarre; to those who embrace the concept of "hundred marriages," it's defying the heavens.
Their values are truly warped. They kill innocent people without any sense of guilt and even make jokes about the dead. They sell innocent people into slavery and think it doesn't matter since they don't know them. Calling this "real"? I just find it disgusting.
Does it contain NTR (Netorare) plot? If so, keep watching.
Some personal opinions on the chaotic and diverse opinions expressed in the long comment section.
This first long review of SF is dedicated to the author... Regarding the debate in the long reviews about whether the protagonist was at fault for killing someone at the beginning. Well, first of all, you need to understand that this is a novel. You can't completely apply your own views to this world... Which is so different from the real political system, otherwise your reading experience will be very poor. This beginning might shock your values, but you can simply choose not to read it. However, if you insist on dwelling on this issue, there's nothing I can do. I can't exactly crawl through the internet to find you, right? Secondly, after the protagonist's reincarnation, he can be said to be a being formed from the "blessings of the gods"...
It gives the impression that if the male lead weren't so gentle, the female lead would never do anything good.
A book very much in the style of Luo Zong, and indeed, it's quite weak. Surprisingly, the female lead's perspective made me feel jealous; I felt the male lead wasn't good enough for Wu Hua, and that Bai Juyi was the right one... I've been watching "Marry a Hundred Beauties" for four or five years now. Although I'm not picky about weight and I'm into all kinds of marriages, this is the first time I've encountered something so outrageous that it's made me think like this...
