Not in any particular order. My top Shoujo, Josei, and BL recs. 

Stories full of holes but somehow you gladly fall for them. A hidden gem once you pass by their weaknesses. (No particular order)

These books just left me feeling a certain kinda way. (It may be a certain plot point, the world building, or just one character I... more>> can't bear to part with) :) <<less

Lighthearted, no angst, cute, romantic, warm and sweet. I re-read those often. Only completed novels listed. Some do have a little angst, but it is never between the couple, mostly drama from their past or outsiders who bring them trouble.... more>>

Those novels are well-written, with coherent story, coherent protagonists, coherent fantasy/modern world-building. Coherence and consistency in both plot and character behaviour are really important for me. I am not looking for realism. I am looking for cohesion and escapism. I don't mind characters who are OP, filthy rich, tsunderes, yanderes, geniuses, black-belly, child-like adults, evil demons, amoral characters, shota, obssessive, possessive etc.. i don't mind excessive characters because that's exactly what i like. I like that in Asian lit, those marginal characters are heroes and not defined by standardised morality. In Western lit, i don't meet many characters like that, and i have 45yrs of reading western literature. The only character set i avoid are indecisive protags who have no self-knowledge and keep self-analysing which i find quite boring. IRL, i also avoid such people lol... <<less

I’ve been using this cite for a while without an account so I’ve never made a reading list but I thought people might be interested... more>> in the books I’ve curated over the years. TBH I have a pretty high literary standard but at the same time I like to indulge in tr*sh taste, so the quality of these books might be mixed but they should at least leave an impression. Be prepared for a lot of isekai. Also I'm a bit*h for completed novels, proper conclusions are great. <<less
