Have You Read This Web Novel?

I thought I was the heroine. As long as I could capture the heart of my life-long meal ticket in the end, I could become his true love, get married, have kids afterwards. In the end, giving birth to a boy could be considered as the story’s ending, and it’s all happily ever after. Anyways, aren’t all the old stories written like this!? But, I never would’ve thought that I would be stuck at the first step. Because, my meal ticket is…… ——G-general, ah!!! _(:з」∠)_ - Novel Updates

Cnovels I've Read

I'm in the mood for making a list and @danmeiljie's danmei list has inspired me, so ~enjoy~ if you care. I'm classifying "cnovels" in the broad literal sense of novels written in Chinese by Chinese authors, so this is not limited to just webnovels.

★s are my personal rating, ❤ denote favourites. I'm aware that there's zero consistency in this list between use of Chinese vs English titles, I'm just going by what I usually refer to them as.

Finished

The General’s Manor Young Concubine Survival Report

Is a chinese GL web novel with hilarious main character getting transmigrated and got involved in a series of misunderstandings.

The MC (a woman) who's desperate to survive the new world, decided to go after the more powerful general (a woman), rather than the unreliable pretty boy prince (a man).

Anw, it's super fun.

Not very great on the fan service and romance part, but extremely funny and packed with modern slangs. It's more of a comedy than a yuri tho.

[geges]

Do you know any c-novels with well written female leads? (It doesn’t have to be a novel that has been translated into English)

I honestly don't have any female lead novels that I've found to be good! there's the classics FGEP, JWQS, and DKGWF, but those 3 all have quite a bit of issues themselves. besides those, I have a couple others that I started but haven't finished, so I can't vouch for their quality, and a couple that I have heard good things about but haven't read yet. some of them look dubious, but they have good ratings, so I slapped them in here. for readers besides anon, do be aware that most of these have no english translations! the ones off the top of my head are listed below :)

美人剑 - The Beauty's Blade

向东流 - Eastward Flow

金乌的自我修养 - Golden Crow’s Self-Cultivation

公主饶命 - Princess, Spare My Life!

我和心上人成了情敌 - I Became Love Rivals With My Crush

魔女霓裳 - The Witch Nichang

入赘 - Matrilocal Marriage

将军府小妾生存报告 - The General’s Manor Young Concubine Survival Report

民政局领到了媳妇 - Received a Wife From the Civil Affairs Bureau

我的死神室友 - My Death God Roommate (heard great things abt this one but haven't had the chance to start it yet!)

她是主角 - She is the Protagonist

宿主，请别对恶毒女配下手 - Host, Please Don’t Match Up with the Vicious Female

同学不作妖 - Classmate is Not a Demon

On the Best Way to Punish the Unfaithful Ex - This one.... I cannot find information on this I keep trying. but it seems to be about a girl who was cheated on and decides, instead of getting revenge by keying her ex-boyfriend's car or something, she's going to get with his mom. I am absolutely distraught that there's no other information online about it because this is just depravation of milf content, it looks SO good

again, I can't vouch for the quality of half the books here, but they're a good start! if anyone has any content on the last novel please let me know I'm begging it sounds so incredibly funny

Nirvana in Fire Character Reference Sheet Roughly in the Order Those Characters Are Introduced

For @howdydowdy, as promised, and for anyone else who, like me, is terrible at names and needs some kind of “Who?? Ohhh right. That guy.” reminder.

Basically, my Nirvana in Fire Journey started with me watching half the first episode, being wildly confused, realizing I was in over my head re: names and thus deciding to go back to the beginning and watch it again But Taking Notes This Time. I watched the whole show with a notebook and pen at my side. I figured I may as well spare you all the labour by typing it up. 

As more information was revealed, I often added it to a character’s initial note, but by and large I’m leaving those extra notes out so you can experience the joy and confusion and anguish of New Information yourself. The exception to this is generally a person’s name, title, and position. E.g. Duke Qing’s name, Bai Ye, isn’t mentioned until a number of episodes after he’s first mentioned, if I recall correctly, but knowing that the person named “Bai Ye” is the same person called “Duke Qing” is exactly why I took these notes for myself in the first place.

Basically this isn’t intended to be a character guide that lays out exactly who a person is, their relationships to the other characters, and their place in the story, but rather something you can look at whenever someone mentions a name that jogs your memory just enough for you to be able to place to person. Which is why the notes tend to be either the context in which the person was introduced or the relationship through which they’re introduced.

Some names and notes are inherently spoilers, but hopefully by virtue of the fact that this is broadly in the order a character is first mentioned/introduced, you can avoid spoilers simply by not scrolling down too far. For those persons where their name or an alter ego comes in significantly after their initial introduction and is a spoiler, they are listed a second time starting with the “new information” and with the note in italics indicating their original entry (there aren’t a lot of these, don’t worry).

I will readily admit that some of my handwritten notes are just a name and then a blank space because apparently I just never actually added a note for them. I haven’t bothered adding those people here. Yes it’s because I’ve forgotten entirely who they are, but I’m pretty sure that means you’ll be okay if you immediately forget who they are too. (That being said, I get the sense there are actually relevant people missing from this list. As the show carried on and introductions became less frequent, remembering them became less difficult.)

The List

Lin Xie –> Commander of the Chiyan Army

Lin Shu –> “Xiao-Shu” –> Lin Xie’s son –> Mei Changsu --> Chief of the Jiangzuo Alliance --> Su Zhe

And also because my mother is terrible at faces and for like 15 episodes every time he showed up in another random place I would say “that’s horse and boat guy” and she would say “wait what? really???” So I’m assuming at least one other person will share in this struggle)

lanonima replied to your post: “lanonima: bizarrequazar replied to your post: ...”:

thank you! I am, of course, a giant lesbian myself so I was a little sad about how few GL novels there are (and how few of those I actually want to read)...I was thinking about really studying the xianxia genre later and writing a few of my own though! <3

Ahh very cool! I’m in the same boat, there’s so little, it’s painful ;; 

The only other baihe novels I’ve read so far are The General’s Manor Young Concubine Survival Report (which overall as just okay but had a couple good moments) and what little has been translated of Mei Ren Jian (so far similar characterization to wangxian)

A few others I’ve found so far but have not read are My Disciple Wants to Tease Me Everyday, which looks maybe promising, and Demon Sword Maiden and Dragon’s Bloodline, both of which I’m hesitant to try because they’re about men transmigrating as women and I’m worried that they’ll turn out to just be fetish fuel.

I’ve also been told that My Five Elements Lack you has a side lesbian couple, but they aren’t introduced until kind of far in. I’ve read another novel by the author and really liked it though, so it might be worth it regardless.
