Thousands of chapters or just over a hundred, Historical, Supernatural or Slice of Life, face-slapping and heartwarming stories, dramatic and comedic — this collection will have them all.

NOTE: Moving all short stories/oneshots to Rec List “Small Stories, Big Feels” (like check it out, so many gems are like 30-40 chapters only, and their chapters are mostly long) <<less

My fave Ancient Chinese Harem Novel. The MCs are very aware of their position in the harem, so they never fully fell in love with the "ML"; some didn't even let their true self/personality be seen by the "ML".... more>>

Books, I have either read or want to read. Third installment . 

I really enjoy novels that are set in ancient china where the MC starts at the bottom and raises to success (and they are farming!) so I'm compiling a list both BL and straight (though a lot of it is BL)... more>>

I'm not a huge fan of court drama or emperor stories, but don't be surprised if you find a few of those on here too! <<less

The BG stories that really did hit that mark. Top tier, creme de la creme, read, re-read and re-read again.
