I love Chinese web novels, but I feel like the quality of most Chinese Manhuas is so bad. The art is always pretty but in most of them the art doesn’t flow so the story telling is very choppy
yeahhh idk why most manhuas feel like cliche soap operas. it feels like most of them just reduce their characters down to tropes but dont give them any other personality traits
chinas got the webnovel game ON LOCK tho idk what they put in their novels but it must be crack or smth. maybe their humor and tropes just lend themselves to be better in writing than in comics? idk
yup my preference is generally
manga>manhwa>manhua
cnovel>knovel>jnovel
but it's not limited to that all the time we just haven't read enough probably and of course I haven't explored enough of their actual literature to really get a grasp on things also feel that maybe censorship has a play on quality/variety idk
also I'm obligated to recommend my favorite manhua: https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/chouka_kou/
Anyone has any good recommendations for a story with something like a reverse transmigration? Like someone who used to be from a martial arts world suddenly came to our world, or a magician or a supernatural being. Well, it doesn’t have to be like that either. I guess I’m just looking for a story where the MC has an advantage because of the knowledge from their original world or previous life and now they’re just cruising through life on easy mode. I just want something refreshing and satisfying to read. Nothing too angsty or stressful
divorced actor picking up garbage
Rewriting the Villainess. Idk if it’s stressful or not, but ik its "reverse"
I wonder why in fantasy stories, the characters need to cut down a tree to show off their power. What did the tree ever do to you? And do you know how long it takes for a tree to grow so big? Cut a huge tree stump in two or a rock or whatever. Why does it have to be a big live tree every time? I know it’s fantasy and it’s fake, but I still feel bad for the trees
I mean, if they break a building, they probably get sued by the owner.. idk lol
AHAHHAA STOP, i just woke up and I’ve never thought abt this lol
Are you the Lorax
Fr tho like u could just punch a rock or something
Help I’ve actually haven’t seen that many where they cut down trees it’s usually the ground or other people
Anyone can recommend me a story with a strong FL who’s actually OP at fighting? Kinda like S-Class Hunter Doesn’t Want to Be a Villainous Princess or The Invincible Princess Is Bored Again Today. But please, no muscle heads FLs like the one from a Flowery Path for the Devastated Male Lead. I like her and I like the story, but I find it hard to read sometimes because she’s a bit cringy, so I need to take breaks and I’m not in the mood to read cringe.
Sou sou no Frieren!
BURNING EFFECT!!!!!!!! THE ART STYLE ***WILL*** GROW ON YOU I PROMISE.

May I Ask For One Final Thing? - um you called?
Bad translations make me so angry! Why are you even translating if you don't even know the language. I want to set those translations on fire!
real shit bro
Hi guys. I need some help finding some isekai manga I was reading but forgot to save to my lists and now I can't remember the names.
1. Male MC. Has a cute dragon companion. Travels around and eats (not Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi). He has a magical bag.
2. Female MC. Her skill is a magical kitchen. She cooks to earn points.
3. Female MC. She transmigrated to a guy's bed and the guy had sex with her and she let him.
2. I think it's Holy Chef, Crazy Empress
Why do Chinese BL authors romanticize codependence and use sex as a solution to everything?
I'm reading this story where ML got really upset because someone brought up something about his past that he still hasn't been able to let go even after many years has passed, so to calm his anger, he goes to MC's house and starts having sex with him while MC is asleep. Like WTF? They've been together for a while and have had sex many times now, so I'm not against the idea of waking your S/O up with sex if you fall asleep together, but poor MC didn't know ML would sneak into his house and into his bed to suddenly start having sex with him.
To be supportive of each other is great, but I don't think that support should come in the form of sex. If ML is very angry and upset and needs the MC's support, cuddling or talking about it while cuddling, or even crying together should be good. Why "calm down his anger with sex"? Makes no sense whatsoever. Looks to me that this is actually using sex as an escape to avoid the problem here. So unhealthy
And this is not the only story I've read where a couple starts having sex because one of them is very upset and they use sex to calm them down or make them feel better. Like HOW? When someone is very upset and feeling awful, how are they supposed to get in the mood to even do it?
Makes no sense whatsoever
I have never seen a chinese manhua with explicit scene so which one r u talking about give me the name
Commenting bc same sorry
Oh, it's not a manhua but a novel lol. Sorry if it was misleading. I just thought that BL manga/manhwa/manhua readers would also like BL novels and I needed somewhere to vent, so I wrote it here. Chinese BL novels can be really good btw. If you haven't read any before, I totally recommend doing so. Quickly Wear the Face of the Devil is my favorite. Mo Dao Zu She (The Founder of Diabolism) is also a novel, although it's being adapted to a manhua now, so if you aren't reading it yet, I totally recommend it.
Ah no it's fine I technically thought it must be manhua but I'm not so interested in reading novels yet so thanks for rec if I ever will do read them for sure
Do you have other recommendations for Chinese bl novels? I really want to read too
Yeah, sure. I've read a lot of novels. It depends on what you like to read though. I mostly like fluffy and cute stories with healthy couples, so I mostly have recommendations for that. But just let me know what type of BL you like and I can recommend you some stuff. Do you like shorter stories, longer stories, cute and fluffy, plot heavy, simple story, top protagonist, bottom protagonist, mpreg, smutty, transmigration? The only type I can't really recommend you is abusive. I don't like that so I don't read that.
That's great. I'm still reading The Wife is First and How to Survive as a Villain(still ongoing) and I like the couples a lot. I guess I like longer stories with lovey dovey couple but somewhat smut (=・ω・=).mpreg and transmigration are good too.
Oh, I was reading "The Wife is First" as well but I ran out of chapters so I've been waiting for the translation to finish before reading it. I see that the ones you're reading are a bit longer and plot play an important part. So here goes:
I recommend:
-Quickly Wear the Face of the Devil - It's a quick transmigration one. The plot is awesome, the main characters are OP and awesome and there's smut. The main story is completely translated. I think it's not marked as completed because of the extras, but tbh, those don't matter.
-The Founder of Diabolism (Mo Dao Zu Shi) - Rebirth (MC dies and comes back to life in a different body). It takes a while for the couple to get together but it's ABSOLUTELY worth it. The story is beautifully written and everything ties up at the end.
-Rebirth of a Movie Star - As the tittle, MC is reborn, but he's reborn a few years in the past as himself. This one is a bit shorter, but it has adorable children and the couple is lovey dovey and the story is super satisfying to read.
-Stone Age Husband Raising Journal - Transmigration. This is mostly cute and fluffy. Not a lot of intrigue But the couple is very cute.
-Home of the Zerg - Transmigration. MC is the gong/seme/top. Manlier men give birth. Not a lot of plot and it's a short one, but there's smut and the couple is cute.
Now for some good ones that aren't completely translated yet, but I've finished reading because I read the raws (I can read Chinese):
-Transmigrated into the Film Emperor's Death-Seeking Fiance - Transmigration into a book. Mpreg. The rating is lower than the others I've recommended, but I quite liked it. Idk why the rating is so low.
-The Only Favorite Ugly Husband - Transmigration. MC is the gong/seme/top. World with 3 sexes. Mpreg. Great extras.
-I Became A Virtuous Wife and Loving Mother in Another Cultivation World - Transmigration to the distant past. Mpreg. I don't recommend reading the extras. Only read the main story.
I'll recommend these for now. Enjoy. If you want more recommendations, I can recommend more, but the ones on this list are ones that I really liked. There are others that are good as well, it's just that they are not as memorable.
Omaigad, thank you very much for your recommendations
Ugggghhh... I'm reading this really good manhwa where the FL is super intelligent and super capable but I'm getting very irritated at how clueless she's being about other's people's feelings for her. Yes, I know she thinks of herself as someone unworthy and whatnot. But understanding doesn't mean I won't get irritated. Also, someone so intelligent with such a deep understanding of strategies, schemes and manipulation CAN'T have low EQ. It's just not possible. Why do authors need to make FLs clueless in one way or another? Can't they ever be well rounded individuals? So annoying!
So, I'm just a tad annoyed right now because I've been reading a bit of straight romance lately and... why is there such a tendency for authors to make the FL oblivious??? I don't get it! And even when the FL is smart, they are never smarter or even as smart as the ML. Why? Why is there a need to make the ML stronger than the FL in every aspect possible? I get the appeal of the FL being pampered and protected, but I don't think this should be unilateral. How about authors start creating stories with more balanced couples and have them protect and pamper each other? Maybe that's why I tend to prefer BL
I get what you mean and you are quite right but in my opinion even if I was the smartest person in the world I would still want someone smarter and more reliable than me as a partner... It's just a preference... I agree though that there should be more variety when it comes to straight couples (excuse my english I am not a native speaker)
U r right... I tried to read st. Romance back then but it just... Nah!.. They lack in some aspect tho some of them r grt but nah... U can say that it is bcz of cultural differences between their environment and ours.... They like girls who r oblivious or like cute and all and r afraid of bold girls which is quite opposite of our preferences....
I think in these manga/hwa/hua here the strongest female lead even amoung the boy enjoy~
Hey guys, a few months ago I was reading a webtoon about a reborn guy who had a notebook he could use to trade stuff with people from different worlds. I forgot the name of it. Could anyone please help me with find it?
was this bl perhaps cus theres a similar story i know to this
No, it wasn’t. I actually found it on a list of OP MCs a bit after I posted this, but thanks anyway for trying. I like stories with OP MCs and I remembered this webtoon was also about an OP MC (or more like he had a cheat) so I went to check out lists and found it. The title was “The Lord’s Coins Aren’t Decreasing” in case you’re curious.
