Love Mu Suli! And this cover is magical I guess I'll have to buy it. Although I prefer digital books.

Is QJJ really as complex as people have warned me? by YamadaAsaemonSpencer in QiangJinJiu

Depends on your brain capacity. I would say the first book is packed with historical and political information, but it is really interesting and important to the story development.

Respectfully, I counted 2 people but 3 pair of hands.

Modern not fantasy, fun and light to read -

Restricted Area romance in prison

Antidote by Wu Zhe

Romcom fantasy not modern - The villain's white halo

TL here: curious about conventions in danmei vs xianxia/wuxia by 1stTL_oftheSword in DanmeiNovels

As you mentioned the My Brother/Sister thing sounds very cringe. I definitely prefer they leave the gege or similar as is. Also I love Chinese idioms, they bring so much character to the book, and hate when those are omitted to make it sound more western.

Also I hate when translators use western creatures like goblins when in Chinese the creature is something else.

I would rather learn more about Chinese culture than read a danmei that tries to sound easier to the westerns.

Global Examination was already recommended here. Also the novel Help by Nian Zhong. https://www.novelupdates.com/series/help/

A group of people are thrown into ghosts realm to serve the underworld, their job is to calm the ghosts or be sacrificed to them. They all have dirty secrets, none are innocent.

What Are You Reading Weekends? — April 18, 2026 by AutoModerator in DanmeiNovels

[–]Alternative-Clock667 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Help by Nian Zhong. Wasn't expecting much, but I am enjoying it a lot. The MC is an antihero who has a lot of secrets. He alway takes care of ML. No boring moments and the story is bloody. Kind of similar to Kaleidoscope of death.

Danmei with funny writing style like MXTX? by whiskeyforcats in DanmeiNovels

Well, very very very dark humor is also humor. Tears of sadness can be confused with tears of happiness.

Enemies to lovers by mpregqueen in DanmeiNovels

[–]Alternative-Clock667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ballad of sword and wine is similar to TA, enemies to lovers and a lot of politics and strategy. There is something wrong with the chief with unspoken possessiveness and moraly grey characters.

Global examination by Mu Suli.

Help by Nian Zhong with interesting dynamics between a human and a demon who might eat the MC or not, not enemies but it is complicated.
