Recs if you like 死亡万花筒 Kaleidoscope of Death...

a collection of men who pretend to be really innocent and weak to gain their lover’s favour. the title comes from the chinese slang term 绿茶 / green tea, which refers to someone who acts really pitiful and helpless, as if they’ve endured a lot of hardships, but in actual fact is very cunning and ambitious.

note: the origin of the term is quite misogynistic, hence why this list will not be including any women.

death games, omniscient gods, and unlimited possibilities, oh my!

unlimited flow is an east asian sff genre that began with zhttty’s 无限 / unlimited series.

— “the meaning of unlimited flow should be ‘all-embracing’: it contains unlimited elements, including science, religion, mythology, legends, history, reality, movies, animated shows and comics, video games, etc, and is higher than them. only through a worldview that encompasses all of this can the essence of unlimited flow novels shine.”

novels in which a main character’s name is derived or gains greater meaning from poetry. as always, recommendations are very welcome, for books in any language!
