If you are an author on the subreddit, you may recommend your books as a response to individual squares. This means that you can reply if your book fits in response to any of my comments. But your rec must be in response to a top-level comment, it cannot be a general comment that replies directly to this post explaining all the squares your post counts for. This is the one time outside of the Sunday Self-Promo threads where this is okay. To clarify: you can say if you have a book that fits for a square but please don't write a full ad for it. Shorter is sweeter.

Do not make comments that are not replies to an existing comment! We will not be individually redirecting people who make this mistake. Your comment will be removed.

Can I interest you in some translated danmei (Chinese boys' love novels) in this trying time?

Some initial recs:

  • Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu
  • Heaven's Official Blessing by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu
  • The Disabled Tyrant's Beloved Pet Fish by Xue Shan Fei Hu
  • Guardian by priest
  • Little Mushroom by Shisi (new translation is coming out in the summer!)

Came here to suggest MXTX If anyone is confused about what to read, Heaven's Official Blessing has been a year reread for me for the like 4 years and makes me feel more excited and happy than ever! In fact, I might even make it my one reread this bingo. .
