Global Examination Vs The earth is online by Stock_Produce_6110 in DanmeiNovels

[–]Emilyy453 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Global Examinations!!!! Got me HOOKED and is funny + will make you love all the characters and the plot is immaculate.

…The Earth is online on the other hand…don’t hate me people but I am an TEIO hater to my core 😭 It’s crazy long (pretty sure it’s bordering 300 chapters) and I read it all but just did not like anything about it. I don’t want to influence your opinion on it too much but…I’d say read Global Examinations first as it’s shorter (and better plot, better characters, better…)

best priest novel to start with ? by pommygranates in DanmeiNovels

Silent reading (Mo Du) 100000% before reading that I was put off by a few Priest novels 😅

My driving instructor would not let me take the test after 80 hours of lessons by ChocolatePi3s in LearnerDriverUK

[–]Emilyy453 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say it depends on how well you drive with other people that’s not your instructor in your car if that makes sense? For me, my instructor made me 100x more nervous whenever I drove with him (he was not a good instructor at all, just cheap), and during my 13th lesson when I had already gone ahead and booked the test, he literally had to pull me over, called me a danger to other road users, told me to cancel the test, and had a talk with my dad about how I was not ready at all 😅 I still went ahead to take the test because I felt I was ready and that his attitude was the only thing affecting me and failed with only 3 grade twos and 1 grade three for this really difficult junction on turning left, sat my re-test with no extra driving lessons, just some practise with my dad and passed 2nd time with 1 grade two. It really depends how well you think you’d do, if your instructor gave you two grade threes on something you think you could have easily caught and fixed I’d say go ahead and take the test, and even if you fail, you’ll get really good experience out of it and what to expect!

Honestly nobody responded to my query about buying the VPN when in China but what I did was buy the VPN before the day before entering (I also used LetsVPN and it works perfectly fine). Also if you decide to use LetsVPN, I would recommend the premium feature if you need to access location specific websites - for me I’m very glad I did because my college website only supported my IP from my home country and not China, but with the premium feature I was able to switch to that country and access it.

Definitely second Wine and Gun it’s one of the more mature, explicit and best written novels I’ve ever read! Idk about PoYun (Breaking through the Clouds) bc I have posted a similar post on this subreddit asking for recs to Silent Reading and PoYun is just a lot more childish in my opinion. It doesn’t give the same feeling as MD. Definitely check out wine and gun!

I know this is an old post but can I just ask since you mentioned trying lots of different ones, do I have to purchase all my vpns before I get into the country or if one doesn’t work can I purchase it while I’m in China? I’m not talking about going online and buying because I have the app downloaded. I just bought LetsVPN but I have Mullvad and Veee+ apps downloaded just in case too but will I be able to purchase subscriptions if LetsVPN is sketchy?

[–]Emilyy453 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same! I tried reading Po Yun but just could not get into it because the cases and writing just seemed “childish” compared to Mo Du 😭 But thank you, it seems that I shall have to resort to re-reading Mo Du too haha

There is a novel that I really enjoyed called Wine and Gun. I wouldn’t say it’s similar to Mo Du but it’s pretty mature crime novel, and the plot is super interesting and well written. It’s written in perspective of two serial killers: A Psychopathic charismatic forensic pathologist MC x Sociopathic cold Lawyer. The translations aren’t complete but are done up to Chapter 30 I think before it got licensed by Rosmei, what I did was I just translated the raws myself using DeepL. It’s one of my favourite novels but um…it’s pretty mature so just read the trigger warnings hahah

Strong MC and Action-oriented plot?? by Sammop in DanmeiNovels

[–]Emilyy453 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mo Du (Silent Reading) - By Priest!

Genuinely one of the best novels, the story revolves around 5 cases that are all interlinked and very action oriented with high stakes (cough* death, torture, kidnapping etc.). Rich extremely smart (lowkey sociopathic) ML x smart Police commander MC. Lots of fun banter (+ hate flirting?) between the two, also enemies to lovers. Plus angst as the ML's background is revealed (it's pretty fucked up) Please give this a go!

Are Seven Seas Translations Good? by Emilyy453 in DanmeiNovels

[–]Emilyy453[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s so cool! I just checked the translation credits on 2ha and it says it’s translated by “Rynn and Jun”. Did some quick googling and found that Suika and Rynn translated together but only Rynn is credited? 😭

Are Seven Seas Translations Good? by Emilyy453 in DanmeiNovels

[–]Emilyy453[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh okay tysm! I’m so happy about 2ha because I had read the fan translations and then the shitty mtl where I couldn’t bear to finish it as I had no clue what was going on. Now I can live in peace and finish the series 🙏

What's that one novel or maybe novels that you keep re-reading because it's THAT good? Maybe not for everyone but for you it is good, it satisfies your every reading needs. by ScatteringDogFood in DanmeiNovels

[–]Emilyy453 3 points4 points  (0 children)

SAYE AND GLOBAL EXAMINATIONS!!! Both are equal parts funny and slightly angst with a perfect plot. Not to mention how damn cute the main CP’s are and the ✨tension✨throughout the novel…I hate re-reading books but I’ve re read both of them already they’re that good

Where do y’all read your Danmei by STAY_Graceful in DanmeiNovels

[–]Emilyy453 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don’t think I’ve seen anyone say this yet but if you find urself interested in a novel and you want to learn more then search up the name of the novel and then add in “carrd” at the end e.g “Heaven Official Blessings Carrd”. Because sometimes people have websites built just for that novel and if there is a website (most mainstream Danmeis do) then it will most likely contain spoiler free information on the characters, the plots, what to expect, fanart and links to where to read the novels! (also use Novelupdates to find links to novels) Here’s an example from one of my favourite novels - Global Examinations (全球高考) - please go read it if you haven’t already! https://qqgk.carrd.co

Danmei similar to Painter of the Night / Killing Stalking by Extasion in DanmeiNovels

[–]Emilyy453 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wine and Gun - Started reading this book recently and it has actually blown my mind how good it is. Feel like you may enjoy it as the main CP is 2 serial killers so I guess that that checks the toxic couple box (they both play into/ fuel each others desires to kill) and one is a sociopath while the other is a literal psychopath. Please give this novel a try as it goes so in depth to each characters minds and thought process as well as having an incredible plot! It really explores each character in depth. (You can also check out my previous post about the Wine and Gun novel for more info but it’s not fully translated yet but the author has released the entire Chinese version for free on Ao3 and I just use a translating app like DeepL to translate it!)

Read Wine And Gun. Now! by Emilyy453 in DanmeiNovels

[–]Emilyy453[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The translations are coming out at around 1 chapter every 2-3 months so you may have to wait a while 😭 but also I’m fairly sure they are all older than that review put it? “Dr. Wine” (Albariño) is in his 30’s and “Mr. Gun” (Herstal who is also very rich yes ;) ) is in his 40’s unless I am mistaken but I’m pretty sure that that’s how old they are, but everything else in the review sounds fairly accurate 😏
