Recs if you like Kaleidoscope of Death Vol. 1...

All the volumes licensed in English that I could find on here. I've added ones I couldn't find whenever possible, and did my best to select the correct editions.

This list contains the first volume of several popular series from danmei subgenres such as: wuxia, xianxia, cultivation, omegaverse, infinite flow, e-sports, etc.

This list is just a point to start from if you want to dip your toes into Danmei 🥰

I’m an international fan, so this list prioritizes works that have been published in English and that are popular in international spaces. I’ve not read all these, but I’m certainly gonna try!!

I’m always open to feedback <33

A list of Danmei and Baihe novels officially published in English. Note: Danmei/Baihe are same sex fiction books from China (MM/FF) Only first volumes of series will be listed here~

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.”

Inexhaustive list of danmei novels 👑

All the volumes licensed in English that I could find on here. I've added ones I couldn't find whenever possible, and did my best to select the correct editions. This is a modified version of my existing Danmei Officially Published in English, but this one only includes the first volume of each series. (Someone asked I make this version, so here we are. :D )

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!

Danmei series that have a focus on psychological themes and survival horror games.
