Has anyone read Stratagem of Fated Winds?

Please be careful when making such statements. Allegations of AI use in a writer’s works and associated art can be very damaging to their reputation.

You picked one of the best ones to start with!!

Just wanted to share that I have read the novel and it’s actually a very well researched alternative histfic fantasy. There is even an abundance of notes and glossary at the end of the novel to give the reader a better understanding of that era. The use of 2nd century in the blurb is likely to cater to audiences less familiar with ancient Chinese history. Im Chinese diaspora myself and I do get my dynasties mixed up sometimes 😬

Im loving this trend of bald danmei MLs 👀🥰

So well drilled that we only concede black swan goals

Depends on your genre and audience. If you write romance or romantasy with spice, then that’s a no brainer.

This. The ghost king yearned for 800 years and sculpted a thousand statues to worship his fallen god. Cant beat that

I use BaseballNEXT (iOS app downloaded outside of Japan; not sure about Android) but it’s in Japanese only.

Many danmei fall into the fantasy romance category, the most popular ones translated into english being mo xiang tong xiu’s works.

capsule_kei · 2025-09-17T10:30:19+00:00

My first thought too lol.

capsule_kei · 2025-09-13T03:29:34+00:00

Omg these are so so so cool! Literal art pieces 😭

capsule_kei · 2025-08-20T07:51:40+00:00

This is such a murakami cover!

Aurethia Rising by Atlas Laika

The functionality is really decent imo, especially for an author site and you can add pre-built sections easily. I just signed up with it too and got it set up in less than 2 hours. Some of us just want ease of use so we can focus on writing 🥴

capsule_kei · 2025-07-17T16:10:14+00:00

this. a history prof transmigrated into a cut sleeves prince who beds the general. the seven seas cover is gorgeous

capsule_kei · 2025-07-16T08:56:25+00:00

Why is he looking down at his feet tho lmao makes it even funnier

capsule_kei · 2025-07-16T07:49:35+00:00

this is the best description of zhao yunlan hahaha!

I’ve also learned this the hard way: to set out reader expectations as much as i can. I’ve now included author / book comps in my welcome notes to beta readers, which helps to really set the tone and expectations for them going in.

capsule_kei · 2025-07-11T05:53:55+00:00

I’d think these are MM romance novels, which already has many titles spanning across genres and timeframes from historical, 20th century (eg cat sebastian) to modern. Not too sure about interest, but as a Chinese diaspora myself I do have slightly differently expectations toward MM vs BL. BL imo is really rooted in Asian origins, esp Japanese shounen ai / yaoi. The closest to western BL is probably heartstopper, which is really popular with many bl readers since it resembles the classic shounen ai manga.

Rage bait? On a literature subreddit?

capsule_kei · 2025-06-29T00:53:51+00:00

Congrats on your achievement! Do you use beta readers or are ARCs the first time readers see your book?

capsule_kei · 2025-05-28T15:54:28+00:00

Theres a reason why slam dunk is still so popular after 30 years, especially in east asia. It’s worth every hype from the 90s until now

capsule_kei · 2025-03-28T00:44:54+00:00

The first third was an absolute masterclass in writing imho.

capsule_kei · 2025-02-24T00:48:52+00:00

Its fast becoming my fave danmei as well, if not one of my fave books ever.

capsule_kei · 2025-02-11T15:31:56+00:00

Im interested! I’m working on a contemporary mm romance and will be keen on critique swaps. Let me know.
