A complete, utter sucker for first-love types of stories, especially if the two male leads are wholly besotted with each other. And if there's a long separation between them, oh - the yearning is so bittersweet to read but so, so good because their devotion just shines through. ... more>>

A specific list for a school setting because I genuinely love to read the sheer comedic shenanigans that happens in school.  <<less

part 2~ ... more>>

The books have virg*n ml and MC which is either directly mentioned through narration or through  character delivery or is vaguely mentioned from other party perspective . No dogblood drama maybe a few of the books might have little angst but rest assured they are eachother's first love.  No past relationships with boys/girls. The books are not ranked , i have verified all the above standards strictly. Especially the first love tag ^^ <<less

I am stop reading anything remotely romantic like 4 years ago (probably cause my awakeness in asexuality)... more>>

here some i personally like <<less

The mc and ml are each other's first love as well as sexual/intimate partners.No past relationships .No dogblood plot. No toxic and scummy characters. Some might have mpreg but others dont. Has a beautiful fairytale like romance or rather the kind that makes you not loose hope on pure , true love!^^ The books have virg*n ml and MC which is either directly mentioned through narration or through  character delivery or is vaguely mentioned from other party perspective .

救人一命勝造七級浮屠... more>>

Perhaps it is only a good person during a time of chaos, but there is nothing more wonderful than to save a life. List of novels motivated by a great benevolence towards the suffering of the common people who usually go unnoticed during eras of great change. <<less

Wuxia, xianhuan, xianxia has some of the best danmei. While it may be hard to grasp at first if you’re not familiar with the setting, I highly recommend you try it out! (This was me when i read victorian steampunk for the first time)... more>>

I’ve tried to include everything: Healthy, power couple; character development; intriguing plots.

Would appreciate recs as well!

Reviews are first with the description of the book listed under, since I personally always felt frustrated unable to see descriptions in rec lists!

Forewarning: I'm a casual reader (I've only hung around this fandom for five or more years), and like any person have preferences! I'm what you can call a picky eater, but in general, most of these are novels I'd recommend to other people! <<less

Some are explicit in its eldritch horror, others are just very eldritch-like

books i finished reading in 2024
