Idk what kinda timing this is ๐Ÿ˜†

Anyway, from the author of one of the meta I boosted yesterday: a tldr about the genre unlimited flow

https://reactormag.com/unlimited-flow-beyond-the-horizons-of-genre/

It has two danmei recs and one Korean webnovel rec too, for the unlimited flow genre

(Kaleidoscope of Death is unlimited flow btw)

edited: corrected the post to two danmei, one KR webnovel

Boosting this with caveats because I am personally a little uncomfortable with most discussion/meta about zhiji/zhiyin but other people might enjoy this

(This is on me, because I didn't specify and didn't know I was this uncomfortable until now)

Recommending I Can Do It! (Now on the correct visibility setting)

I really enjoyed it this e-sports danmei novel (as you can probably see by how I finished 134 chapters, 11 extras in about five days ahaha)

Short summary of the novel

This is an e-sports story, with the romance happening between this streamer, Soft, who excels in flaming every single player in the League of Legends e-sports circuit (and every player he plays with) except for his idol, Road, with his idol, Road. Soft is an extremely talented player who basically spends all his time playing LoL, watching LoL and streaming for money. Due to circumstances, he joined Road's e-sports team as the new mid-laner (a position in LoL).

Thoughts

It's very fluffy, very sweet. The ML totally dotes on the MC, and does it so obviously too. The MC is basically a hissy cat who will claw and scratch everyone except ML (and ML's family...). Their poor manager has his hands full trying to manage this tea (him praying every night probably, "please, Soft, don't reply to trolls and don't flame back, please"). 10/10 would recommend if you are in the mood for fluff, comedy, sweet/healing, soft. Would probably not recommend if you do not game AND do not know league of legends at all. If you game but don't watch or play LoL, I think you'll be fine (lots of footnotes)

Some caveats

The KR-CN e-sports rivalry might get uncomfortable to read (some insults/comments are on accent, for example); also expect some of the usual beauty standards stuff in webnovels in description of how people look; main character is slightly less than 18 at the start of the novel (but the relationship doesn't start till he's 18)

I read 42 danmei novels

I think that might be why my reading of any other novels have been so bad these past few years

I read about this in relation to this fandom essay about fandom gatekeeping:

https://caelum-in-the-avatarverse.tumblr.com/post/750869348329078784/fandom-can-do-a-little-gatekeeping-as-a-treat

edited to add: use of the word "tourist" for some types of fans might be upsetting so consider this a CW - I've been informed it's a gamergate dogwhistle, but I am not making any judgment on whether it is used that way in this essay

Out of curiosity I checked if there are official tl of my fav JP BL novels (based on their audio dramas) and while the answer is no, I did stumble upon this thread:

https://community.wanikani.com/t/flesh-blood-drama-cd-series-listening-club/59062

... Flesh & Blood for Japanese practice. ๐Ÿ˜‚ (This is one of my favs. I own some of the bl audio dramas. It's also yes, probably the longest running bl audio drama series)

In case anyone's interested, there's an article about MDZS in Strange Horizons:

http://strangehorizons.com/non-fiction/feminising-culture-in-the-grandmaster-of-demonic-cultivation/

(No, I haven't read it yet. I was looking for something else and found this, but given the popularity of MDZS, maybe other ppl will be interested, also this serves as a bookmark for myself)
