Thanks for setting this up! Still figuring out dreamwidth, but I’m having a great time scrolling through.
My introduction to baihe was via 双镜/Couple of Mirrors, which was delightful. Meanwhile I came to webnovels through the danmei pipeline, but I really want more f/f fiction (and stories about ladies generally) in my life, so I’m looking forward to starting in on some of the novels recommended here!
Generally speaking I enjoy intricate plots, politics and scheming, complex character dynamics (especially those that that are unhinged, unhealthy, etc., with bonus points for betrayal), and exhaustion/endurance tropes. I’m often in the ‘reads the content warnings as an incentives list’ camp, and I love a good putting-the-book-down-to-stare-at-the-wall-and-whisper-‘what-the-fuck’ moment.
I’m also enjoying the translation discussions here; I’ve dabbled in translation and periodically toy with the idea of doing more, though the unceasing flow of linear time is something of an obstacle, as is the sense that my standards exceed my abilities. But maybe!
