@SQP211 Danmei is not a genre, it's a type of novel. The danmei community perceived this terms as Chinese BL written in Chinese, which has been translated to English or other language.
It's not a theme or anything like that, and it's definitely not Chinese historical fantasy with BL.
@behindzerosp The term danmei is used for BL written originally in Chinese then translated. It's very misleading for buyers as many people thought this was translated work.
This is original English, so it shouldn't be labelled as danmei, it should be labelled as BL.
Danmei doesn't mean Chinese historical inspired fantasy literature! It means Chinese BL written in Chinese.
We're delighted to stock new indie author Hua Chi Wan's debut danmei novel!
Ballad of the Painted Swallow follows Bi Ying, the Crown Prince of Wei, and Tao Huixiao, the Celestial Painter of the Ten Heavenly Realms in a journey of self-discovery and artistic wonder.

@LittleBitBkWyrm@Reinhardt_LR@Swiftnissity When they do lump them all together it causes confusion like this example here. At first, a lot of people thought this is a Chinese BL novel translated to English. I was one of them, I even went to search for the Chinese version for this!
@LittleBitBkWyrm@Reinhardt_LR@Swiftnissity BL is the general umbrella term used by the English community.
Danmei is specifically used by the community for Chinese BL that is originally written in Chinese then translated.
I don't believe there's a specific term for Korean BL, they're just called Korean BL

@m1n_m1n_07 Even in the Chinese language learning community, many perceive danmei as difficult literature, completely forgetting that danmei isn't only historical content, and modern setting danmei also exist
I need to stop doom scrolling and focus on reading as I have so many Chinese danmei I want to read.
So I moved all my social apps to my phone to the 4th screen. Fingers crossed this helps!
