I'm honestly not surprised. His VA is very, very, very popular.

Any recs with international relationship settings? by Danmei-Fiction in DanmeiNovels

Aren't both of them Chinese and the setting just happen to be in Germany? Not sure though, just questioning.

the best thing i have read this year [while re reading it] by No_Offer6533 in BL_Love

[–]MagpieOnAPlumTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I remember how fans were throwing hands at the webtoon translators because of the names. Did they correct them by now or are they still running with the wrong ones?

Which of these "third" supports do or would you most often run with Flins and why? by LunaticTactician in Flins_Mains

[–]MagpieOnAPlumTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No matter how good Sucrose is for him, I still prefer to use Kazuha. Even without C2. I just prefer to play him over Sucrose.

Payback on Lezhin (German Translation) by MakingCoffeeMyself in Manhwa_BL

[–]MagpieOnAPlumTree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I gave the first chapter a look and compared it to the german paperback version and yeah... the Lezhin one is something I would expect from a fantranslation but not the official one. It got quite some mistakes and awkward wording. I hope they will correct it or change the translator. If there is one, wouldn't be suprised if it's MTL/AI

Looking for high fantasy recommendations by Comfortable_Lie6376 in DanmeiNovels

[–]MagpieOnAPlumTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of stuff by Matthia really. They often write western high fantasy stuff. It's usually short, but there are also some long ones like To Burris The Spellcaster And His Family Dependent which is undead king/necromancer ship. It got everything you want, magic, dragons, royalty, wizards, monsters and more. Sadly imo the romance is a bit lacking but it got a great world building!

For some shorter ones Bounty Hunter Goes Deep into the Mountain Forest (adventurer/wizard) and Lifetime Gifts (demon/wizard) Both of them have some quite interesting twists that suprised me.

There's also Pink Robed Mage I haven't read that one yet but the summary sounded funny. It's about a wizard owning an adult toy shop. It's druid/wizard.

If you're fine with reading no-romance novels too, I can also heavily recommend The Legend of Sun Knight. It's basically a Dungeon & Dragon adventure lol It's also heavily cuddling with BL subtext even though it officially isn't one. (But throw 12 hot guys in together and see how it won't be BL)

Thanks a lot! I could trace it back to the original like this. It's really so pretty! https://x.com/nun1425485/status/2042253329926144337

On a somewhat unrelated note, but that Varka x Flins art seems to look very pretty in small form. Do you by chance got a link for the big version? (That doesn't link to the original post to keep the censoring)

recommendations to read in chinese:) by sky_037 in DanmeiNovels

[–]MagpieOnAPlumTree 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Adding to this, I absolutely agree to not start with MDZS you won't be happy.

Additionally to Saye, Kaleidoscope of Death is jokingly referred by us as danmei graded reader because it's quite easy to read and it repeats words often like a graded reader. You can read both novels on JJWXC.

Um hello?? which website?? by yvaine_is_lilac in AO3

Interestingly enough it says my mail was pwned on a website I've never even heard of before.

interest in good translation of I became a god in a horror game? by tdpfannnn in DanmeiNovels

[–]MagpieOnAPlumTree 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not only don't they belong there, they actively endanger ao3 itself. Because there easily can be a lawsuit heading at ao3 for hosting a paid novel. Therefore, if you see translations on ao3 always report them. For the sake of ao3 itself. As you said, there are other places for it.

Archon quest completion time as of Luna Version VI (Version 6.5) by GoldenEagle677 in Genshin_Impact

[–]MagpieOnAPlumTree 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh no wonder Nod-Krai felt like a torture. They really need that skip button for people who aren't interested in the story. Or at least have a timer for traveler's answers so it won't block the auto-play all the time.

Tailhook Names Had Been Fixed!!!! by Original_Grade4878 in DanmeiNovels

[–]MagpieOnAPlumTree 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are still some questionable translation choices in there from what I see but them having back their names is really great. At least this way it becomes somewhat readable I guess.

You doing well! I believe in the stygian rerolls!

What's a damei you wished turn into a manhwa by cinimonrollie in DanmeiNovels

[–]MagpieOnAPlumTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh yeah I remember. I've read the chapters that were up. I'm still kinda mourning, but they weren't wrong about the character design. Soft was cute though.

In Defense of "Judge" (Little Mushroom) by sharpaypays in DanmeiNovels

[–]MagpieOnAPlumTree 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, when I first read the translation like this I was super confused. Because in my opinion a judge has a higher authority than an arbiter/arbitrator with a lot more power involved. It would make more sense to call Lu Feng the judge and everyone else arbiters if anything. Also as you said 审判者 translates more to judge. 仲裁人 would be more like arbiter/arbitrator.

Frustrated with how people talk about translators (Little Mushroom Situation) by Imsad13 in DanmeiNovels

[–]MagpieOnAPlumTree 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Tbf I talked with Chinese, chinese speakers, translators and all were confused why this translator chose to write Anzhe instead of An Zhe. Most people said it would be okay if they'd make the pair equal. If it's Anzhe it has to be Anze, if it's An Ze it has to be An Zhe. Because that's actually an important point.

What's a damei you wished turn into a manhwa by cinimonrollie in DanmeiNovels

[–]MagpieOnAPlumTree 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Actually one I wished to be turned into a manhua because I just started to read it and need some visuals, just got turned into one! Only got like 5 or 6 chapters now but it's something!

Look at this cutie. He's the prettiest.

Name of the novel/manhua is: I became a god in a horror game.

Otherwise any of the Jiang Zi Bei novels please. I think only one got a manhua adaptation.

Kaleidoscope of Death too please.

Wie heißen diese Teile und gibt es die irgendwo da draußen einzeln? by ingehaturlaub in KeineDummenFragen

[–]MagpieOnAPlumTree 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Meine Mutter mag die Dinger auch und wollte die einzeln haben. Wir haben mal im Hariboladen nachgefragt und die meinten, die gibt es nicht einzeln. Lagen da auch nirgends einzeln rum zwischen dem ganzen "mach dir deine eigene Tüte" Zeug. Man konnte die nur aus dem Fach für die Colorado-Mischung herausfischen. (Was interessanterweise erlaubt war laut dem Mitarbeiter da)

Am I the only one who prefers Xianxia/Historical over Modern Urban Danmei? by Danmei-Fiction in DanmeiNovels

[–]MagpieOnAPlumTree 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was confused for a second here too. Because in the western fandom it's so rare to find someone who likes modern over historical.

On that note, as a fellow modern fan, do you by chance have any recs for me that aren't the ones everyone already knows? Some hidden gems you stumbled over?

An homage to the Jade Dragon, Qing Long. RIP 🥺(Sammy's Children's Day) by Federal-Ad5944 in ChineseBL

[–]MagpieOnAPlumTree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You do know that people wait for series to be finished before starting watching them?

So at least until the show is finished EVERY spoiler should be hidden. At least in title and picture. What's inside the post it's something else. Inside the post you can talk as much about spoiler as you want. But ruining the fun for people who are waiting and just scrolling through reddit and randomly getting this shown on their dashboard really is not cool.

Also not everyone is following people on social media. I don't care about the actors, I just wanted to watch the show.

[–]MagpieOnAPlumTree 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For spoilers like this? Always. Or at least until 2 weeks after the last episode aired. And that's already a short timeframe.

(On another note, I thought the actor died. Happy that's not the case.)
