What Is The Correct Reading Order For The Stay With Me BL Novel?

I'm so confused about reading 'Stay With Me' because there seem to be side stories and extras. Anyone have a confirmed timeline or a list for this BL series? I don't want spoilers.

The simplest heuristic: If you are crying or emotionally devastated, you are at the end of the main story. If you are smiling and feeling warm and fuzzy, you are reading an extra. Use your own emotional state as a guide. When the devastating feeling hits, you have reached the narrative bridge. Cross it, then proceed to the fluffy meadows on the other side. Do not turn back.

I'm gonna disagree slightly with the 'extras last' rule for one specific version. There's an official-ish published version floating around that integrates some of the shorter, fluffier extra scenes as intermezzi within the main story. It's not common, but if you stumble upon a translation that has a few sweet, low-stakes chapters sprinkled in the middle, it's probably following that alternate layout. For 99% of readers, though, the standard 'Main Story -> All Extras' is the safe bet. If the tone suddenly shifts from angst to tooth-rotting fluff midway, you've found the rare integrated edition.

I love that this is a common question. It means the story is engaging enough that people care about getting the experience right. For a new reader, just typing 'Stay with Me Jiu Bao read order' into any search engine will bring up a dozen forums and fan sites with the explicit answer: main story, then extras. The information is out there. This thread is just part of that tradition.

I've seen some listings that include something called 'Stay with Me: Special' or an 'Interlude.' That's usually just a compilation of the extras under a different name. Don't let the branding confuse you. If you've finished the main novel, any subsequent material with the same character names is fair game. There's no secret, hidden chapter that changes everything. The extras are all post-canon fluff and smut.

I'm just here for the fan theories about side characters. The reading order for the main couple is one thing, but what about the short story focused on the protagonist's brother? Does that go before or after the sequel's epilogue? That's the real niche debate that keeps me up at night.

My two cents: If you're a fast reader who retains details well, mix it all together using a fan guide. If you read slowly or take breaks between sessions, stick to the main novel alone. The complexity of jumping between stories isn't worth it if you'll forget the subtle connections. Clarity and enjoyment trump completeness every time.

For maximum emotional damage (the good kind), go Vol 1 -> Vol 2 -> Lost One. The main story's ending provides a certain closure, but it's a closure that made me desperately want more time with the side couple. Jumping right into their dedicated story after that craving was formed... it was perfect. It felt like the author knew exactly what I needed next.

Oh man, I get excited thinking about this — there's no single universal rule, but I’ll walk you through what I actually do when I want the cleanest experience reading BL novels by a particular novelist. First, I look for publication order. I like starting with the way the author released things because character development and worldbuilding usually follow that path. If a novel started as a serialized web novel and later got polished into volumes, I try to read the published volumes first (they’re usually edited and sometimes expanded). After the main volumes, I slot in side stories, omakes, or short story collections — those typically assume you already know the main arcs and spoil less if saved for later. Second, check for an internal chronological order. Some series jump around in time (prequels released later, flashback volumes, or companion books focusing on secondary characters). If you prefer timeline clarity, make a quick list: publication order versus in-universe timeline — pick one and stick to it. Also, keep an eye on translations: international editions sometimes reorder or omit extras. Fan wikis, the author’s notes, or translator posts are my go-tos for clearing that up. Ultimately, my rule is simple: main volumes first, then extras and spin-offs, but I’ll switch to chronological if the timeline is confusing. Happy reading — there’s always a favorite side character waiting to steal the spotlight.

For maximum emotional damage—in a good way—go: 'Roses in Winter', 'Frost Bloom', then stop before the last chapter. Read 'Thorn Prelude'. Then go back and finish the last chapter of 'Frost Bloom'. Then read 'Summer's Last Petal'. It sounds unhinged, but inserting the full backstory right at the lowest point of the narrative makes the glimmer of hope at the end of 'Frost Bloom' feel like a miracle. It's an intense, fan-created order that isn't for everyone, but it highlights the themes of hope after despair brilliantly.

It's straightforward: 'Jinx' volumes 1-?, then 'Lucky Paradise' which is the direct continuation. Think of 'Lucky Paradise' as Season 2. Anyone telling you to read them interchangeably or that order doesn't matter is doing you a disservice. The entire narrative and character psychology is sequential. You need the foundation of the toxic, transactional dynamic to fully appreciate the fraught healing process that follows.

I’ve seen PDF compilations floating around. Those are usually in correct order because the maker had to put them in order to create the PDF. Might be a more reliable option than a website with dynamic loading and ads breaking the layout. Just a thought for the desperate.

The director's cut answer: Rain Arc (Main Story) -> Rain Special Chapters -> Sky Arc (Main Story) -> Sky Special Chapters. Any other order and you're playing with the emotional timeline. The special chapters often provide crucial closure and set up the characters' future states, so mixing them into the middle of the other arc's main story is a bad idea. Treat each couple's saga as a block to be consumed fully before moving on.

I read a version where the translator inserted a note at the end of chapter 126 saying 'The story continues in four extra chapters.' That was perfect. I wish all translations did that. So, the order is what the translator intended if they provide that guidance. Follow their chapter list.

Navigating the 'Fate' series can feel like untangling a ball of magical threads, especially with 'Fate/stay night' at its core. The original visual novel had three routes—'Fate,' 'Unlimited Blade Works,' and 'Heaven's Feel'—each revealing different facets of the Holy Grail War. For anime-only fans, I'd recommend starting with 'Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works' (2014-2015) by Ufotable. It's the most polished adaptation visually and serves as a solid introduction to the world, though it follows the second route. The 'Fate' route (2006 by Studio Deen) feels dated, but if you crave completion, it’s an option—just know it mixes elements from other routes haphazardly. After 'UBW,' dive into the 'Heaven’s Feel' movie trilogy, which explores the darkest and most emotionally charged route. These films assume you’re familiar with 'UBW,' so they skip some exposition. Once you’ve absorbed these, 'Fate/Zero' (2011-2012) acts as a prequel, delving into the previous Grail War with a heavier, almost tragic tone. Some argue watching 'Zero' first spoils 'Heaven’s Feel,' but I think its narrative depth shines regardless. Spin-offs like 'Fate/Apocrypha' or 'Grand Order' can wait—they’re fun but nonessential. My personal take? The journey through 'Fate' is about savoring each layer, like peeling an onion wrapped in magic circuits and existential dilemmas.
