Danmeis wouldn’t have been popularized globally and picked up by international publishers if it weren’t for fantl sites like Chrysanthemum Garden. These human fantl sites are the BACKBONE of the entire danmei community bro
man i don't even know where to start about how chrysanthemum garden's shutdown is a big blow to every reader, translator, creator, and everyone else using the site
Chrysanthemum garden had so many danmei novels, which the danmei community was built off of. I found so many dammei on there 🥲 One of my favorite novels mtsf I found on there when I first got into danmei. All the love and hard work the danmei community put into the site is gone

mind you they were fan translating chinese and korean novels that had NO official translations anywhere, some being so niche it had like 3 readers. but readers nontheless!! theres no fucking point to any of this, genuinely
This is why cdramas need extra dubbing yall like can you imagine watching an emotional scene in your historical cdrama and you hear someone singing karaoke in the background 😭
Kakao shuts down Tapas and the ability to buy chapters without warning today.
RIDI completely nukes Chrysanthemum Garden even after they removed all KBL novels.
So Korea decided the way to stop piracy is to adopt a closed country policy?? No sales or licenses to foreigners??
Danmei readers were minding their own business with something they love, then this money-grubbing Korean corporation decided to ruin and nuke their enjoyment just like that.
