    Danmei that I've read and like so far:
    Danmei I've read and don't like:
    • system transmigrations
    • world hopping
    • Legendary Master's Wife
    What I Want:
    I would really love to get some historical/historical fantasy danmei reccs. I'll take completed translations, unfinished translations, and even novels that haven't been picked up by a translator (I'd like a link to the raws website, though).

    I would especially love for novel reccs where you end up falling in love with the characters (like GDC) instead of the "yaoi" if you get what I mean. I like characters that are multi-dimensional, aren't characterized as either friend or foe, and can be empathized with. Which, in my opinion, is what LMW did (hence my dislike) and what GDC did not. GDC made you hole out a space in your heart for every single character in that novel, whether they were the good guys or the bad guys. LMW basically viewed every other character (exc for the main couple) as expendable. And even then, the main couple were pretty static.

    So, yeah! Thanks in advance!

    Ah comrade~ stories with a fleshed out and lovable cast are my favorite too. I think that GDC did that the best though...

    For historical and fantasy novels, I can only think of these two-

    If you're not against JP novels then I'll be shameless and drop in the name of the novel I'm translating too. It's a fantasy novel BL with some unique and developed characters.

    Having just read Grand Master of Demonic Cultivation a couple weeks ago, I would also very much like recommendations along this line. Thank you to those who have already commented. :)
