- Fresh and High-Quality Reads 新颖的优质书 Some great books I'd like to share with everyone~ I've read so many formulaic books, so I want to recommend some fresh, original ones that won't leave you bored! But I'm not good enough to clearly explain what makes them good, so if you're interested, please give them a try! P.S. The order has nothing to do with quality!!! 24Books133Follows2yUpdated
- Lily White Gallery Lily白色花廊 I've collected some high-quality romance novels with female protagonists that I really love, all in one place for everyone to enjoy. They may have their flaws, but they're all good reads. Since I've put them in this garden of stories, every one of them must have something special. If you like yuri, you can give any of these a try. I hope this list helps anyone suffering from a reading drought. 11Books133Follows4yUpdated

- Big Sister Types 姐姐系 Great books with older-sister heroines 9Books131Follows3yUpdated
- A Record of Sifting Through the Waves 大浪淘沙录 These are some old classics from Bilibili Comics. They're very well written (or maybe just very old), and a pain to find nowadays, so let me save you some trouble. 26Books130Follows3moUpdated
- Exploring the Orange Garden 橘园探秘 * The lilies in my hometown are blooming * This list contains extremely subjective opinions * Please choose carefully based on your own tastes * Updates to this list are really slow * Mao has a list with the same name >.< * For books with enough chapters, you can get a general idea of their style from the reviews 24Books129Follows2yUpdated

- Novels with a Male Crossdresser Protagonist, Entirely Subjective Reviews 男主是伪娘小说 评价纯主观 Since the WN tag got censored, finding good WM novels has become even harder. Here are a few I personally think are good. This is just my opinion. Please don't flame me if you disagree. 11Books126Follows2yUpdated
- Dear Readers 各位看官 13Books125Follows4yUpdated
- Girls' Love, Gender Bender, and Female-Led Stories 百合变百变嫁 全女主文 A collection of books I think are pretty good. 17Books125Follows4yUpdated
- Gender-Bender Romance Novels: Take a Look, You Might Find Something You Like 变嫁文，进来看看说不定有你喜欢的 Every book here was carefully selected by me. I'm a longtime gender-bender romance reader, so they're all pretty much guaranteed to be good. 19Books124Follows3yUpdated
- Steady Updates and Interesting Stories 更新稳定且有意思 A list of books with reliable updates and interesting content~ 7Books124Follows4yUpdated
- Pure Love Wins! 纯爱大胜利！ A collection of excellent pure-romance stories from Bilibili Comics (in my opinion). Some are bittersweet, some are moving, and not all of them have an ending (some authors abandoned them). Everything on this list is something I've read ( ). There are lots of other great books I haven't read yet. I'll add them as soon as I finish them. 28Books123Follows1yUpdated
- ☆Editor's Picks☆ Transformation: Yuri and Solo Romance Collection ☆精选☆变百/变单 合集 A collection of TS stories I consider pretty good and worth reading. No gender-bender-to-marriage stories! ☆ For unedited versions, you can usually find them by searching the author's name on Blue P. (I'll note other cases.) ☆ I'll note the reason and process behind each transformation. 2022/4/30: Added 7 books to start with. Off to bed. 6Books123Follows4yUpdated
- My Favorite Novels?? (A Bit of Everything) 我推的小说??（啥都有点） These are some of the books I remember spending a long time reading (there are plenty more I haven't added). Sharing them with everyone (hope the snake goes wild). 30Books122Follows2yUpdated
- There's Something Here to Sink Your Teeth Into! 有石粒熬！ These are some of the most interesting books I've read on Pinecone. The genres are varied, including male-led stories, yuri with gender-bent characters, and single-protagonist stories, as well as danmei, angst, and mind games. The scale is out of 10, but a relatively low score doesn't necessarily mean a book is bad. It's just my personal rating compared with the other books on this list. I don't think there's a dud here (probably). 29Books122Follows1yUpdated
- Some Books I Like 咱自己喜欢的一些书 Aaaaaaaa 19Books122Follows4yUpdated
- Great Reads with No Angst, No Hiatuses, and No Abandoned Stories 无刀好看不鸽不太监的好文推荐 Most of these are harem stories, with the occasional one-on-one romance (probably?). Sharing some books I like with fellow readers. Whether they have steamy scenes is for you to find out (doge). I only recommend books with consistent updates or completed stories. I won't recommend new books with only 200,000 characters, abandoned works, or stories with terrible endings. Reading those makes me miserable too. If one of these is up your alley, add this list to your favorites and I'll keep adding bo 13Books121Follows4yUpdated
- A Blessing for Delicious Everyday Life! 为美味的日常献上祝福！ Getting stronger and pushing the main plot forward is important, but delicious everyday moments are what life is all about! Smooth pacing and easy reading come first, with a few promising new stories thrown in. Mostly gender-bender GL. I'll remove abandoned stories. Updated August 26, 2026 26Books120Follows2moUpdated
- Gender-Bender Yuri and Femboys 变百加伪娘 Good writing, no frustrating plot points, and no characters acting like idiots. I've been reading web novels for six or seven years, so I can tell a good book from a bad one. (I've tried to find every possible flaw, even the ones most of you probably won't notice.) 16Books120Follows3yUpdated
- Less Wish Fulfillment, No Harem, and a Vast, Consistent World 少爽文，无后宫，世界观庞大不崩塌 Focused on ensemble casts (not many ensemble stories like Re:Zero, but those are the standard, along with No Game No Life), with some action and a Western fantasy style. No cringe, no brainless plots, and hardly any steamy scenes. My personal ratings: 2 means good, 4 means epic, and 5 means immortal. I don't rate books that have stopped updating. (Updated irregularly.) (My personal rating for Re:Zero is 4.7, and for No Game No Life, 4.75.) 23Books119Follows3moUpdated
- Top-Tier Gender-Bender and Otherworldly Stories 精品变身/异世界 Quality gender-bender novels, mostly in otherworld settings. Updated irregularly! 27Books118Follows2yUpdated
- Hidden Treasures: Rare Gems Rated 9.4 and Above 隐世的珍宝，9.4分以上的珍品好书。 In a world of novels crowded with romance, harems, and yuri, stories with real depth of thought are precious and can truly move readers. Enter this list and search for the epic within ordinary lives through one adventure after another, and seek the self amid an inescapable fate. The first recommendations are quality novels that are thoughtful rather than mindless. If you're used to lightweight wish-fulfillment stories, give these a try. If you're easily offended, stay away. 10Books115Follows4yUpdated
- Yuri Is the Best 百合什么的最好了 High-quality yuri recommendations (updated regularly) 30Books114Follows7dUpdated
- Gender-Bender Reading List 变身书单 Might not suit everyone's tastes, but the plots are definitely wild! 27Books113Follows1yUpdated
- Three Things in Goose City: Classics! Classics! And More Classics! 来鹅城只办三件事:经典！经典！还特喵的是 A-tier sci-fi, A-tier epic narratives, A-tier sister-con in fiction, A.b-tier youth and everyday life, b- and c-tier "fossil works," plus a few niche picks for my own collection. Please use your own judgment when evaluating them, fellow readers (literary, SCP, satire, and so on). I'll keep adding to the list from time to time. If you only follow trends, you may enjoy a brief moment in the spotlight. But if you stick to your own style, you can be the one to create a new pinnacle. Worn Blade, God 30Books113Follows2yUpdated
- Handpicked Yuri, Gender-Bender Yuri, and Gender-Bender Romance 百合、变百、变单精选 Recommending books I've read myself. No poison, no angst, guaranteed sweetness. 12Books113Follows3yUpdated
- Pineapple Bun Really Was Different Back Then! 曾经的菠萝包真的不一样！ I've been reading Pinecone for eight years, and it's changed a lot. So I want to recommend some novels that I personally found incredible back in the day. I'll start with a few, and if people like them, I'll recommend more. Hope you enjoy them (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡ P.S. The list order seems to be reversed. The further down you go, the more incredible the books are! 8Books112Follows2yUpdated
- Gender-Bender Romance: Four Tragic Tales 变嫁四虐 Ahem, wives and husbands, here are some recommendations! They're angsty gender-bender romance. 4Books112Follows4yUpdated

- Quality Yuri and Gender-Bender Yuri 优质百合/变百 High-quality yuri and gender-bender yuri. I follow each book for long enough to make sure it has no major flaws. 9Books112Follows4yUpdated
- Male-Lead Romance / Harem 男主纯爱/后宫 Selection criteria: The opening has to make me want to keep reading; The chapters I've purchased must be more than one third of the paid chapters (I don't usually buy every chapter); The book must be finished (even if it has a bad ending). I've finished 70 books and read 106 abandoned or discontinued ones. About one in 15 makes the list. A few discontinued books had great characters or plotlines, but sadly, even if I recommend them, the authors aren't coming back to finish them 🙃 My recommend 13Books111Follows2yUpdated
- Minerva's Owl 密涅瓦的猫头鹰 If you're tired of the same old wish-fulfillment power fantasies, come check out this list. (Though, thanks to my personal tastes, most of them involve gender transformation.) (Laughs) 22Books111Follows4yUpdated
- A Tribute to Pineapple Bun's Former Male-Lead Stories 敬菠萝包曾经的男主文 I've been a Baozhu user for six years. Thanks to all the works that have entertained me over the years. I won't recommend popular books just because everyone else is reading them. I'll only recommend the ones I used to love. These are purely subjective picks and memories, so there aren't many completed works. 30Books110Follows5moUpdated
- Gender-Bender Stories I Like (Gender-Bender Romance) 我喜欢的变文（变嫁） Emmm, as an old hand at reading, I find it hard to find a book I can get into. Some books suddenly start feeling boring partway through. So I'm keeping a record here of the ones that gave me the pure joy of reading. There's one on an external site that I can't seem to find anymore: Reincarnated as a Woman (a eunuch story). 7Books110Follows3yUpdated
- Some Underrated Good Reads 略冷门的好书 Books marked as fully free or free to read are free. The rest are paid. I usually include a few comments, but I may not have much to say about some books. Sorry about that ╰(*´︶`*)╯ 24Books109Follows3yUpdated
- Great Yuri and Gender-Bender Romance [Recommendations] 百合（变百）/嫁人（变嫁）佳作【安利向】 Some light novels in the yuri (gender-bender-to-female) and gender-bender-to-male genres that I personally think are good. Most are sweet, with little angst. Fifteen are yuri (gender-bender-to-female) books, and five are gender-bender-to-male books. I may swap some out for new ones based on my own impressions. Updated irregularly. Please leave a comment if a book has been dropped. 20Books109Follows4yUpdated

- Citrusy Reads That Suit My Taste?? 橘子味的，比较和我胃口的书?? I've picked some books I've been reading. They have pretty good writing, and I'll gradually remove or revise some of the books on the list. 11Books108Follows5yUpdated
- Great Underrated Reads (Luo Li's Little Abode) 超好看的小众（洛璃的小屋） All kinds of niche books, both short and long. They're all gems, so if you're out of things to read, come find Luoli! Recommendations rated S>A>B. 9Books108Follows5yUpdated
- Novels with a Darker, More Realistic Edge 偏黑暗/现实一点的小说 This list will be updated very slowly, because I only add books I really enjoy, the kind worth reading once or twice. (All have female protagonists.) It's my first time making a list, and I'm a newbie. I don't know how to write reviews or fancy-sounding blurbs. 10Books107Follows3yUpdated
- Books with Distinctive Qualities or Strengths 有特点或长处的书 As I've gained more experience, ordinary books just don't satisfy me anymore! 16Books106Follows1yUpdated
- Light Novels: New-Style Mysteries 轻小说新本格 First, I want to apologize to the authors whose books used to be on this list. Due to some special circumstances, I've recreated it according to new standards. Thank you for understanding. One day, a friend downloaded Bilibili Comics after I recommended it. After skimming a few books, he said: "How is this any different from ordinary web novels?" That gave me the idea to rebuild this list. Chinese light novels do have great works, but many are heavily influenced by web novels. I hope to create a 17Books105Follows1yUpdated
- Mmm, Sweet Candy! 唔～是甜甜的糖果！ Hehe! All you silly little airhead girls, come take a look! These are works I think are worth rereading, or that I don't dare read a second time. There's sweetness and heartbreak. Can you handle sugar-coated shards of glass? But mostly, it's sweet romance and transformation. Chili promises that every book is a gem! May all you silly girls who bookmark my list wake up one morning to find you've turned into little girls! (~￣▽￣)~ P.S. My recommendations are all over the place, so don't complain th 20Books105Follows4yUpdated

- Angst, Gender-Bender Romance, Gender-Bender Yuri (Updated on a Schedule) 致郁 变嫁 变百(定时更行) A heads-up: this list includes ongoing and unfinished stories. Most are transformation novels. I've added some old books that were abandoned, but some have come back to life! There are also books that update monthly. Some have issues, so read with caution. 8Books103Follows4yUpdated
- Mostly Tech-Development and Farming Stories, Plus Urban Fantasy 主要是发展科技类种田文，还有都市玄幻 Some of the best technology-development and farming stories I've read. They focus on development early on, then take off later. There are also some school stories and yandere stories I like, though please excuse the occasional book that seems to have been abandoned. 10Books102Follows4yUpdated
- Worth a Look (1) 可以一看(1) Delicate prose, heartfelt emotions, and moving plots. Expect heartbreak and sweetness, joy and sorrow, loss and choices. You have to discover good books for yourself. 9Books102Follows4yUpdated
