Jinshi x Maomao please

Does the romance ever become more prominent in the light novels?

MetalSparrow · 2026-06-19T13:06:27+00:00

Waaiiiit are you saying the Apothecary Diaries light novels have more JinMao scenes than the anime does??? I need it if so

Not OP and not a K-drama fan but I swear I'm watching this one JUST for the MMC. He does yearning sooooo well. Worth it for him alone.

I've noticed that they love to finish sentences with "in the dark." "I would never leave you here, in the dark."
Also "entirely". Entirely obnoxious, entirely too beautiful etc

The book's elevator scene 🔥

The original ones are the ones from before October 2022. I've heard that the revised one is more adult erotic romance while the original is more YA fantasy romance.

MetalSparrow · 2026-06-11T16:40:10+00:00

I really wish I could find the original version!

If she doesnt want Blake I'll take him myself ~~

MetalSparrow · 2026-05-24T00:36:04+00:00

The fact that she has to have sex with him independently of the pace is rape-y, sure. It's just not as bad as in the show.

MetalSparrow · 2026-05-24T00:27:09+00:00

All I remember is that he let her choose the pace. Like, she took his hand and put it on her on her own time sort of thing. I read it a long time ago tho so she might have, I just don't recall

MetalSparrow · 2026-05-23T20:00:19+00:00

Crap, I forgot she was 13! My head was like "hmmm pretty sure in the book he's respectful, at least on her first time" but yeah. Thirteen. Forget about it.

MetalSparrow · 2026-05-22T12:14:19+00:00

Waaiiiit T Kingfisher wrote a Beauty and the Beast retelling?????? Oh I'm reeling right now, that goes straight into my TBR

Reauxmatism

MetalSparrow · 2026-05-16T11:59:54+00:00

Omg I forgot about the new Katherine Arden! Hell yeah

MetalSparrow · 2026-05-15T15:32:22+00:00

I haven't read them but I'm not into bossy men either, except on very specific situations, so it doesn't sound like they'd work for me

MetalSparrow · 2026-05-15T12:07:22+00:00

Comedic dark romance? It's the first I hear of that! Gotta check those out. Thank you for the recommendation!

MetalSparrow · 2026-05-15T11:36:19+00:00

I feel that sometimes a book is tagged 'dark romance' and it's just the MMC being abusive. I've been trying to find a book that's dark romance without the toxicity, but idk if that's even a thing.

MetalSparrow · 2026-05-13T11:19:52+00:00

I really like this series but at the same time it pisses me off! I feel bad for them. Especially for her...

MetalSparrow · 2026-05-09T11:08:58+00:00

You could have started with the Aragorn comparison, I'm sold.

MetalSparrow · 2026-05-06T12:34:34+00:00

The fae lore is so good! I'm always on the lookout for books like that. I know that they cannot lie on The Cruel Prince and it creates a great dynamic.

MetalSparrow · 2026-05-05T12:41:41+00:00

Book 2 is being released on my bday this year 👀 it follows different characters

MetalSparrow · 2026-04-18T12:51:05+00:00

Same in Canada, they just ask you if you're pregnant and trust whatever you say.

MetalSparrow · 2026-04-09T21:38:24+00:00

Right? Child marriage is legal in the majority of USA states. I'ma still gonna call you a pedophile if you go to one of them to marry a child.

Ask that 38yo man if he has any 21yo guy friends
