>>7184Probably it having the most completed adaptations (LA / dramaCD / donghua), so people can get into it from any angle. I want to say the LA also got on Netflix in 2019, so one of the first danmei LAs to reach a pretty accessible audience in the West & COVID hit shortly after so even people who can't pirate could watch it. It's just baby's first (and only) danmei for a lot of people + modern-day moralfagging (many people *liked* the censorship of the TV show compared to the novel kek it was a whole thing). Imagine JJR's reception if it came out nowadays kek.

>that led to people looking up a literally-who author based on the screenshots i've seen it seems like her KR and CN fans have been calling her out for years way before the 2ha manga reveal. it wasn't just someone autistically delving into her twitter archive overnight.
>>7239>KR/CN continuing to be the most no fun allowed fanbases on earth.it's no longer just a "fanbase" drama when an artist is echoing netouyo sentiments and being pro imperial Japan.
i'll say this is still a better way to go out than being cancelled over art style, though.

Seven Seas finally licenses Faraway Wanderers!
Plus some audiobooks of already released danmei - is there even much demand for that?

Not gonna happen. Making another 'best bros over hoes' adaptation is not loosening of censorship guidelines.

>>7290>I mean in regards as to the motives/goals of the characters were completely flipped on the head according to an anon from LC, so at least comparatively it is to me since I liked that especially.I don't know. I haven't finished reading the fantranslation of the novel that's been sitting on my hard drive for a while.
>The Untamed kicked off so much of the Western hype/fanaticism over danmeiNot surprising, since The Untamed was 'babby's first danmei LA' for many and the novel it's based on is super-popular. In comparison, TYK (or books by Priest in general) is niche and doesn't have a donghua to rope more people in and check other adaptations.
The funny moments in Word of Honour are actually funny and it doesn't drag. And I love flirtatious LIs.

>>7288The pictures were taken from the 6th JJWXC authors' conference. It's a public event attended by JJWXC authors and fans so it's not confidential info. But it is notably the first time these estimates have been shared at all. My take is that JJWXC is using these figures as a PR stunt to show that investing in/publishing on their platform is profitable, especially when they have other strong competitors.
Side note: the theme for this year's conference was on the usage of AI in creative writing. Ironically I learnt about this through an AI generated article from Sina (

>'best bros over hoes' adaptationMy bad, I worded the censorship guidelines part poorly. I agree with you and don't think CN adaptations will ever go beyond depicting bros, and meant to refer to the lifting of the ban hammer on CN donghua and live-action adaptations. There were multiple big budget projects which were filmed or greenlit but were shelved indefinitely because of the ban hammer on danmei adaptations (e.g. 2ha, Saye, Modu, TGCF live action). But the fact that JJWXC is now comfortably flaunting danmei's profitability (and new licensed adaptations) after keeping things lowkey for a while is hopefully a sign that we may see CN adaptations again.

They openly flaunt their contract details? Perhaps publishers do things differently in China. I can imagine how doing that would make licensing companies mad and burn some bridges ('why have we overpaid for title X if the going rate is much lower?').
>There were multiple big budget projects which were filmed or greenlit but were shelved indefinitely because of the ban hammer on danmei adaptations (e.g. 2ha, Saye, Modu, TGCF live action).I don't think 2ha will ever come out - homo content aside, it's just full of controversial elements. It's a shame, but I don't want to see it neutered beyond belief.

>>7299In this case, it's solely the money made from licensing subsidiary rights. It doesn't reflect a franchise's total revenue because a true total would need to include the direct webnovel revenue (paid chapters and reader tips), and the actual profits generated by all the different adaptations and related merch.

I read As an Elder Brother recently and the first half was really good. I barely finished my school work because I kept reading instead kek. Unfortunately the second half spends too much time on the plot that isn't too interesting and not enough on development of the couples feelings and relationship. I love lies and deceit but once it got revealed it didn't hit the way it should have. And annoyingly, the 'translation' is MTL, not even cleaned up. I would at least go through the novel and replace the characters names properly… It's still worth reading though, If you like angsty incest I can recommend it.
