A personal reference list. Historical or realistic, tragedy, deep feelings and poor decisions, het/BL, plot first, bonds over "true love", minimum spoilers. Overlaps with other personal lists.  <<less

For personal reference/rereading. Mostly plot focus & serious favs, with solid writing/characterisations/overarching plot. Any pairings (mostly bl/het), but not many harem/stallion novels. Mostly CN/KR novels for dialogue. Roughly sorted, many genres, no/low spoilers.... more>>

I prefer wuxia over xianxia, tragedy over fluff, etc. Some less serious/non-plot-focused novels included/marked for their definitive traits.
Personal genre/trait favs: comedy, tragedy, historical, mystery, psychological, scifi, realistic, mature, bittersweet, wuxia, delinquents, strategies/war, empire building, betrayal, food.   <<less

For those who want to be left bawling their eyes out while reading some oneshots and other stories (sorry beforehand if it doesn't, I'm just... more>> an emotional person). <<less
