• completed only • other than top 5 theres no real order • my rating systems kinda bullshit as i read most of these 2+ yrs ago n my rationale ranged anywhere from "this changed my life" to "it was 2am n i was horny" (also im a sentimental little fool which is why some lower ratings are ranked higher overall) • some of these arent really romance but theyre all unquestionably gay/queer • i use cw for any sa/gore/etc but my memory is hazy so be sure to read tags carefully
