Immediately finished it and thought about giving it away cause i have no attachment to the story (even though the plot twist was cool) or the book as an object. It was so nice to hear your thoughts!

It's giving Lady Macbeth vibes, basically asking God to strip her of her femininity so that she can exact her revenge or achieve her goals. it's not very feminist when you look at it that way...I thought feminism is embracing the strength of the feminine, not denying it and rejecting it

If you want to continue reading danmei I can recommend the website novelupdates, it catalogs fan translated novels and you can sort it by bl. It’s where I found MDZS being fan translated before they were made into books lol I’m so glad to know that so many people continue to learn about these series and continue to fall in love with the stories told by MXTX. I found the MDZS anime in 2018 on an (pirate) anime site, fan translated, because it hadn’t been officially translated at that point. It took like 2 years for it to be uploaded and officially translated to English on KZbin. MDZS was almost done being translated and TGCF was translated by fans up to the first book and I had to find a tumblr link to a google doc because someone had mentioned scenes past that. Now I can find the officially translated books at my local library. This story has gone so far.

another indian danmei fan in the making mhm welcome, we have cookies milk and lots of tears <333 next suggestion is "(dumb) husky and his white cat shizun" by meatbun !! it is so sooo good like it is better than even mxtx's works for me TT (and that is serious bc i have read mo dao zu shi as my first danmei in 2017, it is special to me) there are 6 volumes out rn you can buy online, 100% recommend. there are several trigger warnings, So much angst, and the content is rated E (do not take it lightly lol) so be mindful of that, and it takes some time having the mc grow on you for some people (not me though i support my boy's rights And wrongs), but the payoff will have you ascending to heaven, and the plot is incredible and the main pairing is so addictive. please read it ! coming from a danmei veteran of 7 years two other suggestions (published in english and can be bought from amazon) - thousand autumns (ACTUAL enemies to lovers, dilfy love interest hehe, opposites attract- morally upright x morally dubious (done well !!) - little mushrooms (only 2 volumes fin, post apocalyptic, mind-blowing writing- author literally won a national sci-fi literature award) but please give erha/2ha/husky and his white cat shizun a go first ! it is massive but you will wish for it to never end once you get into it. and please be patient with my boy mo ran, he is indeed a dumb husky :'D

Not me crying over watching you read it. My foray into Danmei actually started with MDZS/Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation. Bestie put The Untamed on after she started reading the series and I got invested on the side and so I started reading the books as soon as she was done with the first one. Then it just spiraled and I read Scum Villain & TGCF as well as starting The Husky and His White Cat Shizun, Thousand Autumns, & Stars of Chaos. Plus just bought more Danmei books that I have yet to read lol. MDZS is still my hyperfixation over a year later but I also adore & obsess over TGCF. I was having a really bad time mentally and then starting to read Danmei bright a spark back to me that made me want to live again. As dramatic as that sounds and over a year later the community still means so much to me. I'm glad you're enjoying it so much!!! 💕

I think there is a lot about misinterpreted.. because Iron Widow is not mainly focused in feminism but power and revenge.
