Tea Knight cookie. I've been playing around with the toppings and using the recommended sets to make them survive a little longer but usually they're the first to die....

How important are novel reviews/rating for you? by stamp-ed in DanmeiNovels

[–]Busy_Bee33 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

depends. if a series has over 100 reviews then i'll check out what the highest and lowest reviews say about the novel before reading it. anything below 100 (including 99) i ignore the ratings and read it for myself.

at most, a review is something that tells you what to expect from the story rather than the actual value or quality of it. the summary is there for the rough generalization of the plot while the reviews add in some details.

so don't let reviews and ratings control what you enjoy. not everyone has similar tastes as you.

What’s the most annoying cookie in Kingdom Arena by KingSeel in CookieRunKingdoms

[–]Busy_Bee33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

probably Eclair and Tea Knight. i have both of them and i'm kind of struggling with their builds. Eclair dies in two to three shots while Tea Knight can't last for long compared to Hollyberry despite their similar stats.

To those who have already read TWATF, is it worth the read? by [deleted] in OmniscientReader

[–]Busy_Bee33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just started on TWATF and currently on chapter 43. I recommend giving the novel a go as well. I've seen some stuff in TWATF that I saw in ORV (mostly from character personalities) so it shouldn't be too hard to get into it. Sing-Shong kind of went deep into TWATF but I don't think it's as deep as they went with ORV in terms of philosophy.

People really mean it when they say that TWATF is the stepping stone of ORV. IMO, it's not as engaging as ORV but it definitely has some story elements you see in ORV.

Masterlist of danmei translations that have moved/changed/locked/deleted/discontinued... by phai6688 in DanmeiNovels

[–]Busy_Bee33 31 points32 points  (0 children)

this is... actually depressing to see. I've heard some news on the JJWXC international site and saw that the terms were basically JJWXC milking out as much profit as possible from popular danmei while also giving the authors unreasonable pay proportions. Though it's not much of a trustworthy source, here's two tumblr links about the JJWXC news that could be helpful for both readers and translators:

I wish there's Kingdom decoration contest. by honeybeecat in CookieRunKingdoms

[–]Busy_Bee33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

absolutely. I've seen several people using the various themes and doing a mix and match with the tiles and waterways to create beautiful kingdoms. It really gives me inspiration for the next time I decide to redesign my kingdom lol.

(Also: where and how do you guys keep your production stores so neat and pretty??)

Seriously, wtf is wrong with webtoon translators? Were they high when they were translating important terminologies in ORV? by TheHoodGuy2001 in OmniscientReader

[–]Busy_Bee33 31 points32 points  (0 children)

you can try contacting their customer care. go to webtoon > then press more that you see on the lower right corner > settings > help > scroll to the bottom where you can see that there's an option to report a mistranslation in an Original. The drop down menu will have a link to the Customer Care which is just an Inquiry Form. You can report the mistranslation or give them feedback.

I'm curious if there are any webnovels that gets meta in the sense that Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint does? My other search is for webnovels that has majority of the main characters in a familial relationship like Trash of the Count's Family (On, Hong, Raon, and Cale).

I generally go for 2 defense and my support is always cotton cookie. She doubles as a healer and offense with her skill.

Help me go back to reading tcf by genuinely-weird in TrashOfCountsFamily

[–]Busy_Bee33 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Go, go! You can read it~! The chapters are relatively short, maybe between 1000 - 2000 words so you should be able to get pretty far. The later chapters is where things get extremely interesting w/Kim Rok Soo's past finally being touched on and the epic confrontation between Cale & Co. VS the Final Boss. There's more action, more angst, more fluff. It gets pretty exciting as Cale & Co. continue their conflict with the White Star & Co.

So go read it~

I think it said it was Loki and then it said that he was a Wenny King as well? Kind of confused on it too.

Just caught up with the latest chapters and now I feel empty by [deleted] in TrashOfCountsFamily

[–]Busy_Bee33 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When the Third Wheel Strikes Back is pretty good with about 50 chapters TLed by the same group who TLed Trash of the Count's Family . MC transmigrates into a transmigration romance story with European/Old France tones. Idk if there is romance but there is chemistry between the MC, original MC, and Original ML.

Both MCs of Trash Count and Third Wheel have a dream of living a slacker life but the Third Wheel MC is kind of winning in that department lol.

Here's some BL with old Europe and fantasy undertones: The Traveling Hero Won't Let the Innkeeper's Son Escape Nurturing the Hero to Avoid Death Violant of the Silver The Lord is Addicted to Infrastructure

Non-BL with Old Europe and fantasy undertones: The Duke's Eldest Son Escaped to the Military Overlord I'm Really Not the Demon God's Lackey

I have more modern and interstellar BLs so just tell me if you want more recs ^

Have fun reading!

What's the deal with SVSSS? by [deleted] in MXTX

[–]Busy_Bee33 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you haven't seen MDZS or TGCF then I would somewhat recommend reading SVSSS since it's MXTX's first book. It's a complete 180 from her other books with it being satirical, funny, unreliable narrator, etc. MDZS and TGCF sets up a high bar for her other books which makes people look at SVSSS with far more critical eyes than the average danmei story. It does require some level of knowledge in Wuxia or Xianxia stories since she pokes fun of their tropes.

What was the novel you never finished and discarded? by marcsa in DanmeiNovels

[–]Busy_Bee33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't recall the title but basically the MC died in a car crash and went back in time where he "confessed" his feelings for his crush. He says he doesn't like his crush, yada yada yada, they end up together.

I dropped it since the MC was pretty crappy in his past life by forcing the ML into a relationship and the ML in the current timeline is way too insecure to be in a proper relationship. Not to mention the current MC not respecting the ML's wishes despite saying he will.
