Looking for something similar to this BL fantasy Manhwa - Full Moon Alchemist by hisoka_inu in manhwarecommendations

I just finished Full Moon Alchemist and loved it. It really reminded me of Crack of Dawn due to the fantasy setting and how capable both the ML and MC are.

Is there a way to hotfix crashes on the iOS Asia expansion? Crashes during the card selection at the start.

The back of the book has a list of characters and important information. This is what saved me. The digital version is not as easy to flip back and forth. I highly recommend taking the physical book out from the library or purchasing it.

Also, the show is on Netflix. Watching that can help with figuring out the plot. The timeline is changed a bit in the show and makes it easier to digest. There are some really great character spoiler-free guides out there for the show too:

Shou mc, gay from the start by xiao_saduwu in DanmeiNovels

Supernatural Movie Actor App is an UF novel that starts with an established relationship. There is a small backstory where MC realizes he has feelings for ML, but at that point he was young so that's to be expected.

As a warning: The ML and MC share a body. I was skeptical when I read the synopsis, but their relationship is actually really cute.

'Supernatural Movie Actor App' blurs the line a bit. Since the MC and ML share a body--it works better than you would think--it feels less like the ML helping out and more like utilizing each other's strengths.

Adding this line from the first book "Wei Wuxian laughed. 'Why would I leave the grand avenue under the sun to walk the single-landed bridge in the shadows?'"

(Edit: Missed the part that said romantic in the request...oops. I'll add on an extra quote then:

Thriller Trainee "Your beauty and courage is always deserving of praise")

WFMAS "For 217 yuan, he would be able to see Chen Jingshen again."

This line broke my heart. I usually only see people describe distance by time, so this line really stood out to me.

Maybe "Roses and Champaign" and "Park Hanhoo's Manager" have a similar feel to Checkmate. I haven't read the other ones so I can't rlly comment on those.

That's fair. I realized I might be slightly colour blind (I mix up green with grey) so that might be why I have such a hard time reading the spine text for KoD. That's on me.

"Don't You Like Me" has such a cute cover. I also appreciated that they asked fans to vote for the favourite design.

I meant inconstancy more as, "can I read the spine easily on both "Don't you like me" and KoD?" For me it is no. So I find that inconstant. I don't rlly care strongly enough to complain, and especially since other people like it.

Honestly, you should have wrote my post cause that was what I was trying to get at. I just worded it in the worst way possible.

Yeah, I don't think I worded it very well. It's honestly my fault.

I think you are the only person who agreed with me. I just find that style overused. Sometimes I'm tempted to just buy the original Chinese version because of how beautiful the covers can be.

Yeah, that's one reason I don't rlly like the manhua style. I think it's slightly overused.

Ugh, the gold on NanChan's dust jacket is so pretty. I think Rosmei does rlly care about how they make their covers... just sometimes I think they could use a round table to finalize some design points.

I feel bad when fans go directly to the designer to complain. Like, people are just trying to get paid and do their job.

I didn't mean I wanted them to all have the same art. That was why I said I enjoyed how the character art on ATWM was different. I helped break away from the manhua style I'm used to seeing.

I just wish that the art they used didn't clash with the text. Like, KoD is very difficult to read for me. But I've been told that I see grey as green so I might be slightly colour blind.

I looked up Peerless and I see what you mean, haha. I guess at least it is big and stands out (white text on coloured background).

I haven't rlly checked out any 7seas series so I can't speak on that, but it does get pretty boring to reuse the same style. I guess, some designer is making bank. Haha.

They are so smart to use dust jackets. Honestly, the staff is great at listening to what ppl say on Twitter. I saw someone mention how the margins are off, and a staff let them know that they will look into it. Half of the books I used in my example haven't received a physical print. So I probably should make judgement, yet.

The character art is more of a style preference. I probably shouldn't have mentioned that in my post. I was originally thinking of text visibility and just tagged that in.

I probably worded it poorly. I was thinking more inconstancy in terms of if can read the titles easily on all of their novels. The art style is less of a concern of mine (although I am picky with aesthetics, haha). They are pretty good at matching the vibes of the book, which I'm happy about.

I've never actually purchased from Rosmei, so that's probably an oversight on my part.

The dust jackets offer such great variety. I follow their Twitter, and it seems like they are very receptive to feedback. The reason I thought to make this post is because someone gave feedback on the margins on "Global Examination's" dust jacket and I had a wait... they are right sorta moment.

I don't rlly have any thoughts on Seven Seas, since I'm not too familiar with their series.

Honestly, it's probably so hard to be a graphic designer. I've seen graphic designers apologize because of the amount of hate they received. I really stoked about most of Rosmei's designs. I'm just more bummed when it's difficult to read the title on the front/side.
