If you’re willing to read heterosexual romances set in ancient China I have a whole host of recommendations! (I haven’t read much BL/MM yet - too burned by Romanceland mess + with authors getting arrested in China and charged it’s 😬😖) - ThreadSky

Theoretically, yes, if they're available online. The popular BL stuff I'm buying as paperbacks at the moment.

Everything I read is on websites, so yes online - unless it crashes 😬😅
What are tropes you like/dislike? Or what sort of thing/subgenre/vibe are you more interested in?

phaeton.bsky.social•6 days ago

I love time travel/do-overs. No idea about the rest - I haven't read anything yet, so I don't know what I want.

Hmmm well this is old but it’s some of my favorite novels I’ve read as of a ~year ago https://tartsweet.com/2024/05/28/limes-favorite-chinese-romance-novels-so-far/
lol rebirth-revenge is one of my favorite tropes 😅😇
And there are a TON of transmigration books which is kinda time travel (is, but new body & identity…)

Malicious Empress!!!!! Which I've now read four times.

Lolol that’s 3 more than me 😹☠️💯
Can’t wait for you to finish Ill Fated Consort to see what you think. Then Rebirth of a Star General. And Deng Hua Xiao too…

I really love Malicious Empress but it might be a bit intense for some as a start 😅. Maybe?

Yeah, transmigration is definitely of interest to me. Thanks for the recs!

limecello.bsky.social•6 days ago

You’re welcome! I’ve read 300+ cnovels in the past 15 months so I should at least be able to come up with a few winners! 😅

Of the list, Greetings Ninth Uncle, Ascending Do Not Disturb, and Transmigrating into the Female Supporting Character with a Good Life in a Laid-Back I think are all good & pretty gentle introductions.
