I will likely go out of my way to find physical copies of these, at least the top 10. Any that have continued or adjacent stories should be considered as 1 on this list.
I find these stories to be the most excellently interesting, most well constructed, drama is complex and intriguing if there is drama, best dynamic for characters in a romantic/sexual sense, and IF there is smut it’s hot and takes their unique psychosexual hangups into consideration. Aside from my top 10 they are in no specific order.
