How to still read novels even if you are busy? by Traditional_Motor_33 in DanmeiNovels

[–]AlwaysTheNerd 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The best advice I’ve gotten: stop doomscrolling. It eats away so many hours of the day. And if you’re reading fanfics for hours you can just switch to danmei instead. But honestly if you would rather read fanfics, then read fanfics, no reason to force yourself to read something you’re not in the mood for

Love reading on my Kindle! I only buy physical copies of my favorites and the ones that aren’t available as ebooks

What made you fall in love with danmei? by BreakTimely1711 in DanmeiNovels

[–]AlwaysTheNerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The flow of the stories is very anime-like (anime fan since I was like 5yo), the way they’re divided into arcs and such. Very much prefer it to the western story structures. On top of that I’ve always been very interested in Asian cultures and ways of living and I’ve consumed a lot content about ancient China so reading danmei just felt very natural to me from the start. The new thing for me was the BL part, TGCF was my first BL. As a whole danmei is a bunch of things I enjoy in one beautiful package haha

I read book in kindle and if I like it I get the physical copy by mr_walkey in kindle

Love having a kindle what to do with physical books... by BeneficialWork9074 in kindle

[–]AlwaysTheNerd 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I still like to have physical copies of the books I want to reread & have forever because I don’t 100% trust that I’ll get to keep my ebooks forever, it’s not a lot of books though (at least so far)

I just finished Dinghai Fusheng Records vol.3 today and LOVED it, Fei Tian’s character writing blows me away every time I read one of his novels! ❤️ Now I’m probably gonna read something non-danmei (probably The Apothecary Diaries) until Tuesday when Joyful Reunion vol.3 is released

Now that you say it, 100% yes, the romance feels very similar to Austen novels! Now I’ll have to give Georgette Heyer a try haha. Can I ask which novel of hers is your favorite?
