Recs if you like Legend of Exorcism: Tianbao Fuyao Lu (Novel) Vol. 1 (Legend of Exorcism (Novel))...

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~

Unhinged and chaotic queer stories that are beyond entertaining (and in some ways, very disturbing as the best are haha!)

A non-comprehensive list of Queer books.

gay chinese novels

For those who have wandered close but yet to sink into this rabbit hole:

"Danmei (耽美) is a Chinese literary genre that focuses on romantic relationships between male characters."
