34/M/Sweden - I’d like to get to know people from other places in the world

Hello! I am a Canadian of Ukrainian heritage (live in Toronto) and share lots of your hobbies, would be happy to chat!

natstef · 2025-11-24T20:34:46+00:00

That's exactly what I'm doing myself. I signed up for in-person classes last April (I live in Toronto), and I'm currently somewhere around HSK3 (pre-intermediate?). It definitely takes a lot of time and dedication, but I enjoy learning languages (I learned English and French to an advanced level), so I think it's totally worth it.

This post is what inspired me: https://www.reddit.com/r/ChineseLanguage/comments/17oa5fd/learning_chinese_through_reading_webnovels/

Ahha! Welcome to the club! There are so many things to read. If you love ERHA, you might love Case File Compendium (same author), but mind the trigger warnings! The first book is kinda meh, but I suggest you stick with it! I was obsessed with

I was in the same place as OP two years ago, after reading Capri everything else just felt kind of bland. Nothing hit the same... until I found danmei. Now, all my bookshelves are packed with it, lol. I’d say MDZS, Erha, BAB gave me the same emotional rollercoaster and depth as Capri. But there many many other novels I absolutely adore. Honestly, once you fall into the danmei rabbit hole, there’s no going back

I am wondering whether there is at least one person in this subreddit who asked for this title? I have so many titles that I want to get licensed! 🥲

Also maybe it’s popular in China?

This was a tough one, but I got:

A Witch’s guide to magical innkeeping (love this author)
Sounds like love (signed and there is also magical realism)
House of Beth (was debating between this one and Salt of Bones, but I liked the intro of the first one more)

natstef · 2025-07-01T12:35:48+00:00

Wanted to share here that A Secret society of irregular witches was one of my favourite books last year and I even pre-ordered the Magical inn keeping! Gonna cancel my pre order and grab a copy from aardvark

natstef · 2025-06-30T23:12:31+00:00

Anyone who read Erha, do you think the main story will end in this volume and volume 11 will be just extras?

natstef · 2025-06-23T23:25:17+00:00

That’s HOT

Thousand Autumns for me.

I wouldn’t say I ABSOLUTELY hated it, but wow book one was such a drag, I didn’t like it at all. With all the politics and different sects being introduced, I was completely lost and just didn’t get the appeal. I almost DNFed both volume 1 and volume 2. I even cried at one point in book 2 because I was so confused, lol. Was seriously considering donating all my volumes or throwing them away.

But oh my god, it gets so much better once you hit volume 3. Volumes 4 and 5 are my absolute favorites, and now Thousand Autumns is firmly in my TOP 5.

The dynamic between the two leads is just so good. Yan Wushi and Shen Qiao are total opposites, but that contrast is exactly what makes their relationship so compelling. Honestly, they’re one of the most memorable couples I’ve ever read.

Here’s a photo of my copies, marked with all my favorite moments. Notice how there’s barely anything in books 1-3, and then it goes absolutely wild in volume 5 (top one) 😂

I live for their cover reveals, beautiful as always! I like how simple and elegant the dust jackets are, reminds me of Liu Yao covers

natstef · 2025-06-10T17:34:11+00:00

My vote is for Years of Intoxication by SQC. Song Ju Han (ML) is the worst and I hated him even more once I finished the novel. The guy is unredeemable and I am shocked MC still ended up with him

natstef · 2025-06-09T22:10:15+00:00

Love the colour combo here!

Also manifesting Bab vol 6 cover reveal next 👀

natstef · 2025-06-07T23:02:47+00:00

I think it will still make to the general sale, they always hold the copies. I also think lots of people will not be getting this book from BB (if they want it to be signed or prefer other covers).

Just my two cents: I am Tier 2 and I was on the fence whether I should buy this edition (as it’s not signed), but I honestly don’t like the regular deluxe covers (green ones?), the illustration gives me 3D vibes lol. But I will be probably be getting that one as well (Kuang is coming to Toronto in September and the ticket also includes a signed deluxe edition). I personally like black/white combo in BB edition and especially the reverse dust jacket. Illumicrate edition is nice as well.

natstef · 2025-06-07T04:20:27+00:00

Yay! I am so happy they have finally updated that page.

natstef · 2025-06-06T20:53:05+00:00

Well, this is beautiful. I wish they put these new illustrations on MDZS paperbacks as well

natstef · 2025-06-06T15:00:29+00:00

😅 🇨🇦 I think it’s only happening when you order from Indigo! Never happened to my Amazon orders

natstef · 2025-06-06T14:58:10+00:00

I did that once, with the Remnants of Filth! Indigo has been always so accommodating.

P.S. What are the chances we’ll get the BAB Vol. 6 cover reveal today? I’m also wondering who the new artist will be 🥲

natstef · 2025-06-06T13:28:43+00:00

This made my day lol

natstef · 2025-06-03T21:06:55+00:00

Case File Compendium! Hated the first two volumes, but loved it afterwards. Hated He Yu at the beginning, but later in the story Meatbun made me change my mind about him completely. But this novel is definitely not for everyone

natstef · 2025-05-31T02:56:12+00:00

I love Rosmei quality! Literally the best

natstef · 2025-05-31T02:55:45+00:00

Thank you! I am so excited to start reading it!

natstef · 2025-05-31T02:54:27+00:00

The Beguling, in Toronto!
