• Best Danmei to start?

  Easiest way to find smut novels with plot and translation: go to novelupdates.com (you need to make a free account to get link access) and search for the 'smut' tag. Not all novels with explicit scenes will have this tag though (some translators seem to think 'only' 1-2 chapters of smut + real plot means it shouldn't have the tag), but plenty of users make reading lists of books they liked that had both smut and...

• What made you guys end up enjoying Wuxia/Xianxia/Xuanhuan novels?

  I got bored of "slow" updates on some isekai manga so I ended up finding novelupdates.com to read the light novel versions of them. Later on I ended up finding wuxia. But why I kept reading has to do with martial arts, edge, power system, comedy and lore with all it's mysteries. Also the stories are quite unique in that there's almost no end to the adventure so you'll always have some expectations on what's to come. Source: 5 months ago

• Hello, does anyone know the chinese version of The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride?

  P.S. I've just found out that there are many novels from different paid apps that are actually originally chinese. I don't know what's the deal about it. They only change the names of the characters and also the places. But sometimes, it doesn't just make sense. I usually read from novelupdates.com so I was surprised by it. Source: 9 months ago

• [REC] What are some of the best romance light novels?

  Personally, I've only gotten around to angel next door. If you are looking for a place to find more based on tags I would recommend novelupdates.com. Source: 12 months ago

• where do I post a translated novel?

  Novel translation community tends to dislike aggregator sites, so most novel groups host them themselves and link it in novelupdates.com . If you really don't want to spend money, google docs kind of works. Carrd is a little more time consuming but is pretty easy and free (with limitations). Source: almost 1 year ago

• I was in the middle of reading a villainess manga(manhua/manhwa?) a few days ago and forgot to save the bookmark.

  And, as a last ditch attempt, try going to anime-planet.com -> Manga -> Browse All Manga -> Tags -> more tags -> Otome Game and there'll be a whole list of possible matches. Source: 11 months ago

• Is there a website or data source that more strictly categorizes anime and manga?

  There's a limited amount of data sources, but another one is anime-planet.com, which has tags for all anime. They used to be fairly basic, but over the years the tags got more specific and more numerous, so that's where I go when I want to look up an anime. Source: over 1 year ago

• Alternative for wcostream ?

  Anime-planet.com doesnt have all anime and is only subbed but is high quality. Source: over 1 year ago

• I have no idea what this genre of character is called (if it even is one) but I love shows with main characters of this type and want more of them.

  It might be worth looking the characters up on anidb.net or anime-planet.com and checking their tags, and then looking up other characters who have those tags. Source: over 1 year ago

• yuri (ofc)

  Well as for sites I use bato.to, mangadex.org and mangaupdates.com. I occasionally use anime-planet.com as well. Source: almost 2 years ago
