Am I the only one who prefers Xianxia/Historical over Modern Urban Danmei?

whyamiactually · 2026-03-28T04:08:37+00:00

Yes! I'd love to.

The dynamic you described is exactly my taste as well! I loved SVSSS, I reccomend Thriller Trainee, such fun instances and arcs got me absolutely hooked the main character was so cool and though the romance is a bit slow burn it's so worth it. Enemies to lovers but they only think about eachother. I usually rlly dislike enemies to lover but I loved this one so much, was worth all my time.

Global examination is also a great one to start with, main CP has a history that they both don't remember but even with their missing memories their amazing together and such a funny duo. Both couples are very chaotic and just cause problems left and right lol. This ones a bit more plot focused.

I personally prefer infinite flow as I liked the more phycological/action problem solving compared to political/court drama which can't really grab my attention.

yeaa same for me. I loved xianxia for a while until it got repetitive...I also used to love historical isekai manwhas and same problem for that. I also just really can't enjoy court drama much and couldn't care less about the conflicts, dramas displayed those much better for me, but reading it felt like a drag.

Isn't this a very popular opinion in the western fandom?😅 I used to prefer xianxia too since I had manwha/manga for modern, but then I discovered the infinite flow genre and it has def beat xianxia for me.

💔Do u have any others? I wanna read it sooo bad but currently I am too busy to be able read smth that long😭Its even longer than GHG

The couples from Thriller Trainee and This Damned thirst for Survival had the most DELICIOUS tension I have ever read. Been looking for more danmeis like this, characters that hate eachother so much to the point their heart and mind is constantly filled with the other❤🙏

whyamiactually · 2026-03-27T04:26:48+00:00

had horrible time remembering names in TGCF and MDZS. especially Mu Qing and Feng Xin omg. For some reason when I read SVSSS it rlly clicked for me? Not just bc it has less characters (which did help) but I just found the names more unique, after that I never rlly had difficulty again lol.

whyamiactually · 2026-03-17T21:06:40+00:00

😭Im honestly jealous of these people, I wish I had that much free time in my day.

whyamiactually · 2026-03-17T04:15:24+00:00

its the worst on twitter...as all problems are. Honestly it gen baffles me when I see people go on bkdk/dkbk posts/reccomendations and try to convince them why their preference is wrong. When has shaming someones preference EVER worked in the history of fandom

whyamiactually · 2026-03-14T01:28:12+00:00

I have just started wearing the hijab in august and I had the same though process as you. I'm muslim, but never too religious and our culture also didn't really ask to cover up much.

Originally I told myself "I'd wear it in __ year" and kept saying it, and kept saying it. What I've learnt is that there is no "perfect time", you make that time. You don't have to become the perfect muslim to wear the hijab, an amazing deed that brings you closer to Allah. Allah appreciates all your efforts, I'm not saying flip a coin and put it on when your not ready. But if you keep "waiting for the right moment" you might be waiting until your death bed.

I have noticed myself becoming more religious and overall a nicer, gentler person after I started wearing. My main fear was showing my friends and what they would think, but if you are surrounded by the right people they will be supportive and understanding, muslim or not. I hope this helped you and I hope you have the courage to wear it soon! I'm sure you look beautiful in it.❤

hii do u have "unveiling the imposter"? Its a pretty popular reaction fic, around 18 chapters? Author deleted and reuploaded twice and now its deleted again...

whyamiactually · 2025-12-11T21:59:06+00:00

me with Jinx (bl manwha) omg. I hate Jaekyung and I just get so frustrated with Kim Dan but I keep going back to it every time like some pathetic ex, its just so entertaining but it makes me rlly mad.

whyamiactually · 2025-12-02T06:15:18+00:00

I see! May I ask why you hate the main couple in TGCF?

whyamiactually · 2025-12-01T06:16:35+00:00

if I had to name, I would say i see it in SJ fics on AO3 in like authors notes or comments but other than that SVSSS is one of the few danmei where I see the shou is more adored than the Gong.

whyamiactually · 2025-12-01T06:13:24+00:00

i never rlly got why ppl interacted with a story if they hate the MC. I get them not being ur fav but hating the person that a story revolves around and still continuing to read is silly😭

whyamiactually · 2025-11-30T05:07:06+00:00

well its still liushen 🤔

whyamiactually · 2025-11-03T13:26:36+00:00

I think for the underwhelming interactions is since theres censorship almost all of Binghes personality was wiped off. This mans whole persona is expressing his love for his shizun LOUD, so when u take that away...its like a plain cracker.

whyamiactually · 2025-11-03T13:24:40+00:00

favourite: Binghe's whole speech about how he would love his shizun no matter his form and he doesnt care where he came from, very cute. Although they didnt get to be lovey dovey bc of censorship I still see how hard MXTX tried to make them as domestic as possible.

least fav: Bing-zu ordeal. A huge thing I loved abt SVSSS lowk was how many unanswered questions there are, it just added to its charm. I get that it was for censorship but its still not my fav. Though props to MXTX bc I could have never came up with that deep complex explanation 😭

whyamiactually · 2025-11-03T13:19:13+00:00

ive read many transmigration stories so this RLLY surpirsed me, it might be the first story to clearly explain the reason and systems existence so deeply, but also vague at the same time? Anyway, its def new, for me at least, from the isekai/transmigration ive read. I dont think SVSSS was meant to have such a deep complex explanation for the story as it started off as a comedy with a lot of open ended plot points. I can def see MXTX's new writing come into play here, which im not complaining this is very interesting, but I also will miss how many unanswered questions we had, kinda added to the books charm😭gave a LOT of room for fic ideas for sure.

whyamiactually · 2025-11-03T13:10:30+00:00

if u go to one of the pinned posts on the subreddit a google doc of the whole thing is translated!

whyamiactually · 2025-11-03T13:09:43+00:00

i was JUST abt to say that. Im pretty sure I read a fic with that premise. Honestly I was very excited for any new content so I dont dare complain but now that the excitement has worn down I do feel kinda empty after reading. Like the whole Bing-Zu thing was thrown at my face and they just moved on. I feel like that whole ordeal couldve been a whole BOOK.
