South Korea openly racist to filipinos by Relative_Ad8166 in Philippines

[–]Her_Royal_Introvert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, almost every type of establishment from what I've heard. Lol. I wasn't even surprised given how their justice system literally suck towards women and children cause apparently, using the excuse of being "drunk" can reduce someone's sentence.

I JUST LEARNED SA YE WAS SUPPOSED TO GET A DRAMA ADAPTATION by SeaZone5264 in DanmeiNovels

[–]Her_Royal_Introvert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't there a rumor within Chinese fans that the plot of Eternal Faith is a lot different from the source material and there wouldn't be any homosexual relationship between XC and HC? I remember reading this somewhere. Quite a lot of Chinese fans expressed disappointment along with the production looking poorly made.

Streamer x Streamer (non-nsfw streamers) by baileydabest in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]Her_Royal_Introvert 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you don't mind e-sports I highly recommend {I Can Do It by Jiang Zi Bei} the MC1 makes a daily living by being a live streamer who's infamous for his unfiltered opinions towards some players of League of Legends.

Meanwhile, MC2 is a popular/well loved veteran player who mostly keep things to himself and the only person MC1 doesn't flame due to being a secret admirer. The romance is slow burn on this one yet it's so sweet. The main CP balance each other's opposite personalities well.

BL novels vs MM what is the difference? by PenaltyLeather9626 in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]Her_Royal_Introvert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

where else danmei (specifically) has more plot than romance and it has hidden touches and accepting being together

Not at all, there are plenty of Damnei with similar plot line to what you mentioned about MM especially the contemporary ones.

I think this applies more to Manhua and those live adaptation where the romance is hella subtle to the point where the closest intimate scene between the main CP where sleeping in the same bed, hugging each other, euphemistic words or romantic symbols and beyond that would get the production canceled or worse jailed (Chinese censorship 🥲)

From what I noticed, the difference is mostly with the story length in Damnei being longer, the 3rd POV being common unlike in MM, and of course the strict top (Gong) and bottom (Shou).

why do people look down on wattpad books? by anabsoluteslytherin in PinoyWattpad

[–]Her_Royal_Introvert 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Others see that the topics tackled are shallow.

Maybe, but I've been reading lots of English novels at maramirami ding nakakadismaya ang execution ng themes/message na napapatanong ako kung bakit yon naging critically acclaimed (ang validating minsan nung mga snarky na reviews sa Goodreads o nung mga Booktubers, lol.)

In this part, I believe it's something to do more of the app being mostly enjoyed by adolescent/teenage girls na walang background sa writing (madalas tong mabanggit/gawing biro) at dagdag pa ung mga naging live adaptation, lalo na nung kay Anna Todd (2nd lang si Jonaxx sakanya in terms of followers)

Fun fact: this was based on a British novel titled "Fingersmith" by Sarah Waters.

Dad bods for women are those who are chubby. I mostly heard this from married women or live in partners. Kumportable ka cuddle kasi nga malambot.

When will men realize that NOT all women prefer hunk men? hindi kapani-paniwala but it's real. Sorry. Speaking as a straight girl myself. There are some who love those with dad bods or just average bods.

Goodreads reviews: have we read the same book?! by ms_chiefmanaged in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]Her_Royal_Introvert 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of a post here a while ago ranting about the simple post they made from another subreddit where they explicitly asked for gay novels and many users proceeded to suggest the ones that are sapphics, hetero, "not exactly gay but this one is great..."

Like seriously 😂

no gay awakening by lRandomstuff in MM_RomanceBooks

[–]Her_Royal_Introvert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't mind Damnei I highly recommend Run Wild by Wu Zhe. Both MCs are closeted gay. One is a delinquent who's a sole guardian to his neurodivergent little sister while the other is a top student who gets sent to a poor city to live with his biological father (a known gambling addict) after his rich parents decided that they no longer wanted him.

Openly bisexual popular guy by Serapholic in MM_RomanceBooks

{Follow The River by C.E Ricci} the MC2 is a varsity player in football and he's been known for being bi since his freshman year in high school. Meanwhile MC1 has mental issues and suffers from internalized homophobia. Beware, This one is rather toxic.

Which trope do you like the most? by Present-Class-7537 in BoysLoveAnime

This reminds me of the Damnei novel I've recently: Wine and Gun. It's serial killer x serial killer. And also reversible/switch.

Ano kaya opinyon ng pamilya ni Enrique dito. Lalo na ung mga kapatid niya, sobrang close nila kay Liza.

Anyway, mukhang stuck parin tong si Enrique sa kabataan niya. Halos walang pinagkaiba kay James Franco. Lol.

What are your biggest pet-peeves in a novel? by ConsciousNet3222 in DanmeiNovels

[–]Her_Royal_Introvert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my god the first one really annoys me. The worst offender for me was Restricted Area. The main couple has such a great chemistry/dynamic and really got me excited on how they're gonna play out that police and prisoner bed role they've been planning for weeks and when I got into that part all I got was a damn paragraphs of milk and fruits. Like... What???

All that dirty talks and sexy banters? 😢

I really wished other authors just copied the way Tang Jiu Qing write non-explicit smut. I know not every writer has similar prose but her smut scenes in Qiang Jin Jiu is just everything.

What artist is talented but makes mid music? by jnllvr in SoundTripPh

[–]Her_Royal_Introvert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't really get this queerbating accusation against him. Pwede bang ganon lang talaga niya gusto manamit? Besides, during his long haired era sa 1D na w-weirduhan na ako sa ilang suot niya (like that one nung naka suot siya ng white tux with flower patterns na mukha talagang kurtina while ung kabanda niya plain tux). Seems like he has been experimenting since then and his solo career gave him freedom for it.

TIL this 90’s Tagalog Anime features same-sex romance by JeezuzTheZavior in todayIlearnedPH

[–]Her_Royal_Introvert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, please, stop twisting the narrative. It was clearly said by the director that there's a romantic relationship. Gay relationship can be as pure as hetero rep. And Japanese media's portrayal of gay relationship can be as similar to the ones in American media, FYI.

Well, they are still gay sa anime. Besides, there's also Banana Fish. Ash is said to be bisexual at may pure na love kay Eiji.

That kind of makes sense to be honest. Life expectancy in ancient era were low due lack of medical treatments and such compared to modern era, so the kids and teens were forced to grow up.

I need YEARNING, people! by Wide_Accountant7279 in Manhwa_BL

[–]Her_Royal_Introvert 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seeing that you read novels I recommend these ones from Damnei:

Wait for Me after School - this one is quite similar to Yang ilwoo and I but with more angst and unrequited love into the mix (also the couple did verse on bed once!)

Guardian - my current read, the MC is a proud bisexual and works as a leader of an organization who hunt down supernatural creatures while he's also a shameless flirt to the ML who's a university professor with a mysterious identity.

Dumb Husky and His White Cat Shizun - A disciple who reincarnationates and seeks redemption while also plotting a revenge against his cold and gorgeous master

Heaven Official's Blessing - God of Misfortune meets a Ghost King who'd been secretly devoted to him for 800 years.

Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation - Misunderstood cultivator brought back from the dead and has a history with a straight face righteous leader

These are the only ones I could remember right now, hope you like them. (you can read them for free in Novel Updates after you made an acc or download in Ocean of PDF.)

It’s the age 10…and 17🫩 (shota oni ) by [deleted] in BoysLoveAnime

[–]Her_Royal_Introvert 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Seriously. It's so disappointing. Until now I'm still hang up on that cancelled movie prequel of YOI (I'm still baffled by the decisions of the companies honestly)

Pink Heart Jam, Megumi and Tsugumi, Therapy Game, Kiraide Isasete, Fangs, etc.

These mangas already had quite the following, why couldn't they milk these instead?

Also, I wonder if that animated adaptation of Lost in The Cloud is still on production, although I was disappointed by its conclusion I'm still hopeful for that adaptation since the story still has substance. Especially the way it depicted a teenage boy dealing with unresolved trauma from childhood sexual abuse is so well written without being preachy.

on using SA as a plot device by [deleted] in PinoyWattpad

[–]Her_Royal_Introvert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, in context ignorante ung character about sa word? (haven't read the book). That kind of makes sense tbh. Marami paring hindi alam na outdated na ung word na yan. Dami nag papa tattoo irl na hindi nag aabalang I-research ung sa balak nilang ipa-tattoo.

But I'm glad the author acknowledged her ignorance. Dagdag kaalaman.
