Previous thread: >>3713167>What is danmei?Chinese BL novels. Often associated with long-haired swordfighting pretty boys, however there's a myriad of different genres available, from wuxia and xianxia to modern crime thrillers to historical political dramas.>Where do I start?Check out Mo Xiang Tong Xiu's novels (The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System, Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation, Heaven Official's Blessing) for the aforementioned sword boys.Other popular authors are Priest, Meatbun Doesn't Eat Meat, and Meng Xi Shi.
All right, now I'll turn it over to the other anons with a question: What's a book NOT by MXTX or Meatbun that you really like?For me, I finished Devil Venerable Also Wants to Know a while back, and it was a lot of fun. I like that author in general, though.
>>37275222ha. I think about shizun everyday.
Can we do fanfic recs? I've been combing the SVSSS tags recently and enjoyed these: "Hallowed Ground," by persicae"Does Not Contain Actual Vore," by dearly_anonymous"Shadows Can Bleed," by SenZen_Travers"Ghost Light," by Kasasagi"These Games We Play," by These Games of War We Play>>3727522idk the only two non-MXTX/Meatbun danmei I read suffered from mediocre translations and I can't really recommend them.>>3727609This is top-tier.
>>3727649Yes big fan of fic recs! - Wangxian A/B/O canon compliantish AU with Emperor Lan Zhanhttps://archiveofourown.org/works/25604389/chapters/62146186
>>3727522Try out Qiang Jin Jiu and Wu Chang Jie. They're about the only novels outside of MXTX and Meatbun that I would recommend~

>>3727515I like this thread. Many cute femboys!
>>3727687None of them are femboys. Men in ancient China had long hair.
>>3727709Yeah, I think long hair is cool and all but the white one here >>3727609 looks feminine enough and these two cuties >>3727520 look like two beautiful lesbians. I love femboys so much!
>>3727710If they both have dicks, it's gay. No amount of coping changes this. Go be mentally ill somewhere else.
>>3727655
>>3727720
>>3727716Seethe! I came to enjoy femboy!>>3727720>>3727721>>3727722The white one is so feminine and cute!
>>3727649Thanks for the recs>>3727611Cute proud boys
Does anyone know what happened to the Yuwu/Remnants of Filth translation? I had the drive bookmarked but it looks like it was taken down.
>>3727515>PriestMixed bag for me. Guardian is unwatchable for me, the premise feels undeveloped and cheesy. I loved Word of Honor though but I heard it's quite different from Priest's novel. Anyone got any tips for getting into this author?
>>3727609~
>>3727740The Guardian drama is also different from the book, though the book itself is... also not the best.Priest's written a ton of stuff though. I would recommend Sha Po Lang and Liu Yao. Maybe Jin Se too, but I haven't read that one yet, so I can't vouch for it.Mo Du and Can Ci Pin are also top-tier if you like police dramas (for the former) or sci-fi stuff (for the latter).
>>3727654Also thanks for recommending QJJ a few threads ago. I'm on chapter ~50 right now and it's pretty great so far.
>>3727781>Sha Po LangRead this, it was nice but too sfw for my taste. What about Liu Yao?
>>3727710One of those lesbians crushes boulders with his bare hands. You'd probably have a better time looking up Shi Qingxuan.
>Hualian high school au
>>3727781Thanks for the list, I'm going to start SPL this weekend and will report back how I'm liking it. Idk who the monocle guy is (main char?) but I've seen him a lot on my TL...
>>3728687Are those girls?
>>3728690No idea but Chinese fans get really raunchy with cosplay. And that's a good thing.
Anybody know which series this is from?
>>3727515>Feeding shizun sweets
>>3728697Once again: linking the tweet with its captions and the artist's history makes identification far fucking easier than an unindexed image. Thankfully this time you posted two easily recognisable Scum Villain characters. Liu Qingge and his disciple Yang Yixuan.
>>3728916I save a lot of art all at once, kinda in batches. I don't always have the original tweet. But thank you for sleuthing yet another one for me! I'm good at identifying most of the main ships by appearance, it's honestly just the the side characters/unconventional ships that give me trouble.

>>3727782I'm on chapter 52, slowed down because I started watching Sleuth of Ming Dynasty. How are you finding QJJ so far? Enemies to lovers is v tasty!
>>3729073I love clothing swaps.
>>3729080I really love how toxic the MCs' relationship is at this point. Can't wait to see what happens next.And it's good to hear someone's checking out SoMD; idk how the drama differs from the book, but I personally really enjoyed the book, so I hope you have fun with the story too!

Can one of you TGCF readers tell us the news about the 10k words addition to the novel? I haven't read TGCF yet. Is it supposed to be interwoven through the novel or extras?
>>3732275IIRC, it's actually an additional 100k words added, but it's going to be interwoven through the audio drama. Where the additional 100k words are added, no one knows yet. It could be new stuff, or adding more to events throughout the book. The books could be rereleased with this new content in the future but who knows.
I love Wen Ning!
Why is SVSSS volume 3 out in paperback now but not out on Kindle until August
>>3734479Incentivizing paper book sales because it's more profitable probably.
When did you accept shizun as your lord and savior?
>>3734491Yeah it's how they get them into the NYT best seller lists for easy marketing blurbs.
Are you anons gonna PO this?

The MDZS manhua is getting a physical English release. Does anyone here know if this version is going to have censorship or if it's going to actually depict them being gay?
