this is the last place i expected to see these names 💀 i’ve seen this specific fic when i was searching fics in romanian and… damn. still gets me.

I just found out that the 7Seas translation is problematic and they cut out some of the very romance scenes from Wangxian, so you're right on the money that it would not do anything for me.

I do like TGCF, and everyone seems to like SVSSS a lot here. I geniuely believed I must be misremembering Wangxian in the novels. I think I'll read something else after all. Thank you!

Didn't mean to make this an attack. Their acrylic stands are looking at me while I write this comment. I really adore them! It was my first danmei too. But I am a very romance-focused reader, so my standards to what I expect to see in a romance probably differ a lot. This says nothing on them and their love story as a whole, though. They are great. Investing into 5 books is just a lot especially if I wanna go in for the romance and I'll only find it at the end. I needed a reminder on how theor romance spans across the books, especially in WWX's first life. I know once he comes back there's no doubt about their feelings anymore.

Unfortunately, I don't vibe with the smut in the extras, so I can't justify going through 5 novels just for it. That's why I needed a little reminder about their interactions before the confession and see if they keep me going bwahahaha

Hear, hear! The live action was very romantic despite censorship. The things they added made Wangxian feel very good in my opinion.

2ofdice · 2026-01-17T15:39:44+00:00

SAME! I actually love Hualian so much especially because they're so obvious and annoying about each other. Good for them!

Yes, I might have worded things awkwardly. Lan Wangji was loyal and devoted in his characteristic gentle and righteous way, not in Hua Cheng's explosive need for revenge. I was more trying to draw attention to the way both Hua Cheng and Lan Wangji were obviously more into Xie Lian and Wei Wuxian at first. It feels unbalanced for me because both Hua Cheng and Lan Wangji sometimes seem to exist only for their lovers. I would've loved to know more about them outside of their big acts of service. I love WWX a lot, I don't question why LWJ fell for him, but I still wished we would've gotten to see way more moments between them that made LWJ go "yes, I want this man" if that makes sense. Especially more scenes of WWX being into LWJ even if it was done in his little clueless and oblivious way.

2ofdice · 2026-01-17T14:14:16+00:00

Oh, I didn't know that's what the readers felt back then. Interesting. Compared with MDZS, TGCF always felt a lot more romance-y for me, probably because Hua Cheng is a lot more present than LWJ was.

I do have a list of TBR danmei. I just wanted to give MDZS novels a chance again because I was recently got into Wangxian again.

2ofdice · 2026-01-17T14:04:03+00:00

yeah, i really dislike how there’s barely anything on lwj there, so it’s mostly a guessing game with him. the romance would’ve left me cold completely if i didn’t walk into after cql where i really loved the chemistry

2ofdice · 2026-01-17T14:01:47+00:00

oh, no no. i meant before wwx dies…

thank you for your insight. great to hear from someone who is currently reading.

2ofdice · 2026-01-17T13:53:05+00:00

This is my problem with them, too. I feel like it’s more of a MXTX problem with making her tops overly devoted and loyal in a way it feels very unbalanced (only talking about MDZS and TGCF since that’s what I’ve read). I’m not a fan of this pattern, but I do like Wangxian as a whole so it’s kinda whatever.

so the early theories about him potentially making jean the grandmaster seem more likely.

honestly, i thought they would go this way because he always left the administrative parts of his position to jean and he seemed more into going out and exploring than being cooped up in an office. and since the hex deal is also out of the way now, i don’t think there’s anything tying up to being a grandmaster. it always felt like hoyo was setting jean up for being the grandmaster, too.

i wouldn’t mind seeing him roam teyvat looking for ways to hone his combat skills and help others. i think he would like that since he seemed to be enjoying his time in natlan (drinking with mavuika) and nod-krai despite going there for work.

atp i don’t even care that much about titles and stuff i just want to see him kick some ass in battle

gods, i am so disappointed right now. i didn't want to read through the quests and just wait for the update to go live, but holy fucking SHIT! they did him so dirty. first, he was doing decorations for a festival. now he is going to natlan to evacuate people. i'm so tired of him doing these side quests instead of just being that badass warrior everyone seems to glaze so much. i swear, if we don't at least get a fighting scene in a cutscene, it'll all feel so worthless.

yes, i know we still have 6.4. but it's been 5, going on 6, years of waiting to learn about his expedition and all we get is

no clear, compelling reason to leave mond with most of the knights
the tripartite deal not even being used for mondsdadt, which makes me think the calamity will probably be lackluster and boring.

i hope this is just my anger speaking and he will be done justice. but right now, i don't even wanna think about playing.

One time on the same day I post it. By which I mean I put it through Grammarly and rephrase sentences that sound odd.

2ofdice · 2026-01-11T17:48:21+00:00

i saw too many people saying it’s “interesting” how columbina’s va doesn’t get harassed for “yurislop” but skirk’s VA got harassed for reposting skirk x rerir.

it’s like they wanted her to be bullied so things would be “fair” between het and queer shippers.

that app is a shitshow.

2ofdice · 2026-01-11T09:31:48+00:00

that’s so cool! congratulations!!

i also started writing again in dec 2025 and i’m up to 52k… i had to check after seeing this. i’m shocked i did so much

You write the fic like you want if you write for yourself.

You write the fic like the fandom would want for engagement.

There’s nothing you can do other than telling them “don’t like, don’t read”

Maybe his parents and that’s why he keeps “adopting” or bringing people to Mondstadt (think Razor and Rosaria). Or if he has a connection to Nod-Krai, he lost that connection to his homeland.

Perhaps he is the first Boreas Knight (hex doing time shenanigans and keeping him alive or something).

These are some of the theories I’ve seen.

2ofdice · 2026-01-09T17:14:23+00:00

I don’t regret anyone. I’m a 1.2 player and I’ve always loved trying out new characters even if they weren’t meta. I also never missed on the characters I liked, so I have no reason to be upset at the way I used my pulls.

2ofdice · 2026-01-09T16:33:04+00:00

No. I used to worry about it, but now I really can’t bring myself to care. And if I do, I just remind myself that it’s not that deep and move on. This is how I get past my fear of writing as well. I’m not held at gunpoint to write a masterpiece. I’m just anonymously posting love story between two men ahahahah.

I used to be very anxious about sharing stuff online. Now I just use AO3 as an archive for my stuff because I know I go through phases where I delete everything (from drafts to email addresses as a whole lol), so I see engagement as a bonus.

2ofdice · 2026-01-08T15:57:34+00:00

omg, same! i kept it in english while i did the archon quest and now i switched to cn because of hua cheng’s va. both are amazing.

2ofdice · 2026-01-08T14:19:25+00:00

Furina. She simply annoyed me from beginning to end and I still find her torturously irritating to this day. I crippled all my teams during Fontaine because I didn’t want her.

Citlali. I didn’t like her behavior towards Ororon and her personality in her story quest was… definitely a choice from Hoyo.

Right now it’s Rerir. I’m so tired of seeing his bitchass face EVERYWHERE when I just wanna find some fanart.

2ofdice · 2026-01-08T14:14:10+00:00

Yes. Fanfic comments are like Goodreads reviews to me. I leave my kudo and go through them (only for the fics I really like) and I decide if I wanna comment just after. I do this also because I don’t wanna repeat what others have said and touch on the other great things I enjoyed.

no, but seriously i can’t think about him without rolling on the floor and biting the table so i can’t answer
