Edit - mistakenly thought Meng Xi Shi wrote the Untamed books lol
But anyway it looks like I just like this author better maybe because it feels like a very classic wuxia tale and the characters better developed. I found Yan Wushi interesting even if I found Shen Qiao annoying for his boy scout ways.
@liztai ah, Meng Xi Shi didn't write Mo Dao Zu Shi—that was Moxiang Tongxiu.
Meng Xi Shi has written The Fourteenth Year of Chenghua, Thousand Autumns, and Peerless (Wushuang)... and also other books I can't think of right now, hehe. Maybe you'll enjoy one of those!
So far I've only finished reading The Fourteenth Year of Chenghua, and I thought it was great. The romance is very slowburn and understated, and most of the plot is about politics and family issues, which really worked for me. :) I'm reading Thousand Autumns but not got very far with it yet.
@liztai no, not yet, but I've heard it's great! I really love how the book is grounded in real history (the Northern and Southern Dynasties, coincidentally one of my favourite time periods) and how it's very much wuxia rather than xianxia. Don't get me wrong, I love both, but I think wuxia works really well for telling this story!
@villainousfriend I binged it in a day! Not only was the art really good (the men were literally beautiful lol), the voice acting for the characters were really good, especially Yan. I don't think a s2 will ever come tho 🥴 due to the BL ban but fortunately we have the books!
