Personal Reading List | Plot-Driven Story Warehouse
I prefer stories with strong plotlines. The most important aspect is that they are interesting, while completeness is secondary. Good writing means being able to tell a great story rather than just using flowery language. Multiple female leads or ambiguous relationships are major turn-offs for me, but that doesn't mean they are completely absent from my reading list.
