I'm back again with more recommendation list!
Currently I have been really into Chinese historical drama, so i decided to create a recommendation list. I have categorize the dramas by their genre, setting or dynasty so it's easier to check it out! These Drama ranges from serious heavy plot, angst, romance, lights to comedy. This post will be updated from time to time, once i finish watching the dramas. Hi! I'm sorry for the lack of updates. i'm really easily distracted and lost/gain interest in things fast, and my bad memory also the factor of my lack of updates (since i keep forgetting things). But i will try to update as often as I can, as of now i'm busy with my new interest or to be exact it's my old self but this time it resurfaced in more mature mindset. Not an excuse tbh but i just really sucks at time management in some aspects. Anyway, i will be updating the Chinese BL novel list soon (as far as i can remember) although it's not a lot yet but i will try to updates over the time when i finally read my to read list. Thank you for reading! UPDATE: Here's the link to Novels list Here you go a list of Chinese/chinese theme BL novels i have read and recommended.
P.S: This list will be occasionally updated with new works! Hello! i'm back to writing this blog again like finally! Recently i have been in a phase of Chinese Novel due to the current popular works by MXTX, The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation or Mo Dao Zu Shi (MDZS)! I've known about this works from when they first started but i was never in mood because i was in another phase. So when i finally watch the Anime in Nov, I was like okay time to start digging this show other work forms, so I found the manhua which start all the phase to their novels and audio drama and finally the author's other works as well then it spread out to other authors. I have never been so grateful to my parents that force me to learn Chinese for 10 years. Anyway, since the original authors are Chinese or from China their original works naturally is in Chinese, but don't worry there are some kind souls who do translations and i really appreciate them doing so since the works are pretty long. Some translation can be found at the team website while some other they choose to upload the translation on Wattpad, and if you like they have linked the raw works as well. Or if you are financially stable you can support the author by purchasing their web novel at their original platform like jjwxc.net or other platform that the author choose to showcase their works. Also from what I learn some authors and their works are being made into audio drama or other media form to support the original novel and spread further, some platform like MaoEr FM is showcasing the audio drama and such. Inside as usual there are free audio and paid audio really depends on the authors and their agency. Like MXTX she has works is a publishing company to publish all her works, for MDZS they going to have 2 seasons anime, a Manhua, 2 Seasons Audio Drama and a Live Action Drama/Movie, while her two other works Scum Villain Self-Saving System and Heaven's Official Blessings also will have similar mode of media promotion. I will list down a Recommendation list here with the Chinese Name, Pin Yin/Romaji and English title of the novel if they have.
I just found and watched this anime like yesterday, "Hataraku Saibou" or "Cells at Work" by Shimizu Akane that get anime serialization for this summer 2018 season anime. Originated from manga of the same title, telling a story about our cells, how they work inside our body and how they fight bacteria. Totally recommended since it's funny and educational. Shimizu Sensei also have 3 spin-off of the Hataraku Saibou series; Hataraku Saikin (Bacteria at Work), Hatarakanai Saibou (Cells that don't work) and Hataraku Saibou BLACK. It seems that each spin-off are created by different Authors but under the supervision of Shimizu Sensei. The other two series are pretty straight forward as the title suggest, Hataraku Saikin is telling a story of how bacteria works in our body, they are divided into 3 groups; Good Bacteria, Bad Bacteria and Neutral Bacteria. While Hatarakanai Saibou talks about red blood cells that are neet-ing in the nursery area or known as Red Bone Marrow that produce red blood cells (i hope i am correct in this). As for Hataraku Saibou BLACK, although I have not read yet, according to the synopsis from various sources this series talks about the cells that are working inside a severely ill body. Let's go back to the main series Hataraku Saibou, so far the manga is up to Volume 5 (about 25 chapters) and the first episode of Anime aired on 8 July 2018. The characters that have been introduce are the main cells; Red Blood Cells AE3803 and White Blood Cells U-1146. There is also other cells that will gradually get introduce as the anime goes on so far few other cells are; Macrophages, Platelets, Killer & Helper T Cells, Dendritic Cells and Ordinary Cells like just super normal they have "cells" written on their shirt XD. Red Blood Cells AE3803 A new red blood cells who is clumsy and a lost sheep, that just started her main job to deliver O2 and CO2 around the body as well as other nutrients and medicine (if any). White Blood Cells U-1146 One of the white blood cells type that kill foreign germs and viruses that invaded the body. They are very calm and gentle in the beginning but when encounter with antigens they become ruthless and bloody every single time. They also eat and break down the bacteria with a process called Phagocytosis. Macrophages A type of white blood cells that catch and kill bacteria, also determine antigens and information on immune system. They are also cleaners that remove debris of dead cells and bacteria, another job they take on is also a nursery care taker for new blood cells. Killer T Cells Also a type of white blood cells that are considered professional killer who exterminate harmful object in the body but only dispatched under Helper T Cell instruction. A very anger type blood cells like a angry commander, most of the time they are anger. Best friend with Helper T Cell. Helper T Cells Another type of T cells that has an intellectual disposition, a strategist that determine the course of action to deal with invaders when they received information about them, the commanding officer of killer T Cells. Dendritic Cells They are a cell that take fragments of bacteria cell and virus-infected cells and present them as antigens for other cells, they are also responsible for activating cells to their max ability. A stalker-ish paparazzi that takes and keeps embarrassing photos of other cells, it is to used it as blackmail and activation material, I love it when it happens. Platelets A type of blood cells that are responsible for reconstructing the body when injured or when blood vessels is damaged, also clog up wound. They are portray as kids in this series due to their actual cell size are smaller than others. The most precious and cutest cells I ever see working in the body. They cleanse my soul. Cells (Ordinary Cells) The citizens of the body, they are ordinary and easily infected by virus, will become zombie like with weird hat on. Their main job is to multiply themselves with cell division, when fail the bad cells can either develop to cancer cells or other diseases cells. Here comes my favorite topic: Omegaverse! or also known as Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics.
I'm sure those who loves BL especially know about this Genre, in the recent years Manga, Manhwa, Manhua and Fanfiction have been using this genre heavily. Althought still considered rare but not uncommon and the genre evolve depends on the author as well, for those who is still unaware of this genre, it is simply a genre that come from a "wolf pack" dynamics. This genre has been widely used in western author or artist content before it gets popular globally but are extremely rare in Asia, only in the recent years it started to enter the Asia region artist consideration to include this genre. Basically these Alpha, Beta and Omega are considered as secondary gender of a human aside from your generic Male/Female gender. There is a lot of different ways to present these genders like the stereotype version and the non-stereotype version such as; the borderline controversial, or in a more scientific way (nothing is impossible with technology-ish) and many more depends on how the author interpret it. I've read some that prefer to mix these two version together. |
