You're at the right place if... more>>

↬You're tired of: Non-con | Major power imbalance | Romanticisation of toxic, manipulative, and controlling behaviour. 

↬And you want: Novels that put emphasis on consent | Mutual respect, trust, and understanding between the main cp | Forehead pecks | Character development | Couple growth | Misunderstandings that get resolved through proper communication. 

・୨・┈・・┈・୨୧・┈・・┈・୧・

Please make sure to first check the tags on these novels before starting them though, as some of them talk about sensitive matters (Mistakenly Saving the Villain for example) 

Also, aside from Saye — which holds a special place in my heart, rest of the list isn't arranged by my personal preferences but rather the covers, as I like to keep my lists colour-coordinated.

Please let me know if there's more novels with healthy relationships or if I accidentally added a novel which doesn't have one ( ˊᵕˋ ; ) <<less

Couldn't find a list for this so I just created one myself. This list contains smut novels (or ordinary novels with smut) without dubious consent or non-con. And I might update everytime I come across a novel that fits the criteria, so this list is pretty tiny right now but hopefully won't remain this way forever.... more>>

Also, PLEASE let me know in the comments if you've come across more novels with car rides where both parties are willing, or if any novel here doesn't actually fit the criteria so I can remove it as soon as possible. I've read plenty of the novels here but not all of them, some were recommended through friends I just can't completely trust because they once told me that 2ha was fluffy (f*ck you Sam why did you do that to me), and others were found through manually reading reviews for any mentions of non-con so I could know whether those novels are safe to add or not. 

So, the guidance of my fellow daoists cultivating the dao of consent is much, much appreciated! I want everyone here to be comfy and happy with what they've found.  <<less

Mfs after creating a list be like 'I am going to read these novels' then never read them, let everything gather dust, run out of space, and end up creating yet another list just to shove even more novels into it. Next thing you know, they’re building a fortress out of unread novels. That’s me. I am mfs.... more>>

And welcome to my fortress! <<less

Collating and sharing titles I'm interested in for easy reference

(these novels are mainly ones that I have read, and some that I am planning to read)... more>>

I’ll add actual reviews eventually, most of these novels are novels I read a long time ago so I don’t really remember everything. <<less

Where both the main characters show mutual possessiveness and borderline obsessive behaviour for each other. (Or the obsessive one in the relationship is not gong but the shou). Both parties are equally involved in the relationship. No power imbalance. ... more>>

You can also recommend any such novels that I should add in this list. <<less

Stories with reversible couples, couples with non-traditional top / bottom dynamics, and couples where the position is not relevant to the story (and hard to identify).... more>>

Includes some characters with traditionally feminine traits. A "non-traditional" top / bottom dynamic is any story where the bottom is not in an ersatz "wife" role.

For example, stories where the shou is younger, "bullied" in bed, described as a cute animal, assigned feminine traits, relies on the gong financially or emotionally, described as less rational, etc, and where the gong is older, sexually dominant, assigned masculine traits, the financial provider, described as more rational, etc would be considered a "traditional" top / bottom dynamic.

Also takes into account some popular danmei specific tropes like younger / older brother, gong cooks (except in some domineering CEO stories), shou is shizun, and so on. <<less

I wish there were more works like this around here. ＼(;´□｀)/

No description.

List of either reversible couples or couples were the top-bottoms are not described stereotypically or with the conventional "petit-overbrearing" dynamic.

List of Danmei where the protagonist is the ‘top’ or both leads switch that are non toxic. So no tyrants, sa, etc. If you think... more>> something should be added to this list, please leave a comment! <<less

Both completed and on-going. Do note that all of this is just my own opinion, and in no way am I trying to persuade you not to read the ones that I rated lowly. Everyone has their own taste, and opinions. Won't rate the ones I haven't read/still reading. ... more>>

Rating:
☆☆☆☆☆ - A great novel that's worth reading, not a waste of your time. Great plot and characters. Will definitely reread. 

☆☆☆☆ - A good novel, with questionable but still great characters and with good plot, might reread again. 

☆☆☆ - Mediocre novel. Good for those with low standards and just wanted to increase their reading count. Okay plot and not well-developed characters. Not gonna reread again. 

☆☆ - Passable. Just meh, close to shitty, with near to no redeemable qualities. Either the way the characters were written or the plot itself. Will not reread.

☆ - Absolutely not worth your time. Will never touch again. 

ーーーー
TL:
★★★★★ ー Great translation, close to none grammatical errors. 

★★★★ ー  Good translation, with bits of errors here and there but would still not destroy the novel somehow. 

★★★ ー Passable. Resembling edited MTL with questionable translation/grammar.

★★ - ★ ー English resembled MTL. Just copy paste, ★★ will be slightly edited but still copy pasted MTL overall, and ★ is just copy pasted.
