Protags who DGAF. Whether that means they’ll cuss out their dad, or can torture someone without blinking an eye, these protags do what they want.

Novels that focus on clever female protagonists surviving through multiple scary and dangerous situations with her wit in apocalyptic/escape games/futuristic worlds.

Mainly BL, fluffly, comedy and not much angst. These are all novels that made a big impression on me and I actually like. I made this list mainly so I can reread them again without going through the trouble of having to find them.... more>>

Stories and/or characters that refuse to disappear into the foggy marshes of memories long forgotten. These are the worlds that will most likely overrun reality when I get old.
