Anything that even looked slightly curious to me within the danmei genre (mostly, with some Japanese works sprinkled in). Expectations from none to sky high, listed under every title.... more>>

Will move titles to the Read list as I finish or drop them. <<less

these stories weren’t just words on a page—they were worlds i stepped into. some spoke to me gently, others ripped through me without warning. they held mirrors, and reminded me how deeply humans can feel. these are stories that left a kind of quiet chaos in their wake. the kind that don’t scream for attention but hold you captive in the quietest ways. stories like these aren’t just read—they’re seen. and remembered. ... more>>

in short, these are novels that feel complete and kept me awake.

“but you are the life i needed all along, and i think of you as a brother, although that sounds dumb. and words are futile devices.” — Futile Devices, Sufjan Stevens

as a self-proclaimed seasoned reader, i am hoping and highly recommend giving these captivating stories a try. :)) <<less

My "to read list" bring fujoshis to the yard, and they are like "you degenerate—give us MORE!" Any and every tag except mpreg, harem and... more>> omegaverse are welcome. (if you see a novel lacking, then it means its probably in one of my tier lists.) <<less

Everything that I would consider to be cream of the crop that’s either pure fluff or angst with a dash of fluff. A lot of them I would consider to have pretty unique plots (a lot of them are mystery/horror).... more>>

- Read some of the tags cause some contain unsavory topics

- Having the couple suffering together is sooo delicious <3 (most of em aren’t slow burn)

- Updates when I read another 9.5/10 - 10/10 hahahah (shout out to ORV, LOTM, and GDGW ily) <<less

Completed reading

Still... All Arranged Marriage Novels. Could be any variation of the
trope (*~Destiny~*/bride swapping/Business Marriage^tm/WAS in an arranged marriage/Assigned Marriage For Sci-Fi Reasons/formal fiancees/Assigned Bonded... more>> For Setting Reasons/Sold Into Marriage to pay Debt/Woke Up Already Married/Woe! Relationship Be Upon Ye!/and so on & so forth). Not guaranteed that the Arranged Marriage is the protag's endgame. THIS list is because I already hit 99 on the first one and I figured divvying by Read/Not Read made sense. Also, cause I really do hate clicking between reading lists (WHY cant we have the same title on multiple reading lists??? its KILLING ME). This Rec List is dedicated to all novels I have not yet read, or am in the process of reading, and will likely get shuffled semi regularly. Please see #1 for all novels I've finished plus reviews! Novels in no particular order! <<less
