I can't translet it because I don't understand Chinese It was so sad and downright real and depressing in a way it is BL but the two characters can't be together the story takes place in the 1920s and 1949s the republic of china and well back then especially it must have been hard for people of the same sex to say to the person they liked them in the end sigh that's all I have to say read it the story is complete in Chinese just not in English yet but worth the read this is what I liked about Chinese comics especially BL as danmei . some stories are very much more on the realistic side of the spectrum not always a happy ending sometimes bitter sweet.
SUMMARY :
Starting from that day, he walked into my life... It's the roaring twenties and thirties, and Shanghai is undergoing a rapid wave of westernization. The young master of a mafia family, Du Yinghong, encounters the street hooligan Shen Xiuhai. This fateful encounter changes the lives of both these young men. In these turbulent times, amidst complicated relationships, the two of them forge a true bond of selfless sacrifice. This is the story of a sincere friendship born during the tempestuous Republic Era.
I finally ordered all the first volumes of each MXTX books, but I have a really HOMOPHOBIC parents. I don't know what to told them when they see the novels, I think I will say it's a Chinese martial arts novel, no romance and stuff, but I'm not sure if it's enough to convince them that it's not a danmei, can you give me a better excuse to justify my purchases.
OMG I LOVOOVEVEVEE MXTX w tgcf it's rlly easy to pass off xie lian as a girl in the first book but the other two i cannot help ye there
Try to convince them it's a straight romance lol
I mean since it MXTX, the mcs has long hair and are shorter than the mls so you can with some talking convince them that they are women and this is just a straight romance
Just tell them it’s action are they gonna read them or something??
The Untamed is the live action, non- BL version of Mo dao zu shi (cus of censoring). Maybe play it off as the books being based on the show, instead of the other way around?
The live action is not a romance (it’s a bromance at most).
I literally show my parents the cover with them making out on it. I’m pretty sure they just think Xie lian is a girl lol
