#and it was also an mxtx fandom that got ao3 to change its rules on tag limits

To that person who submitted Tian Guan Ci Fu/Heaven Official’s Blessing

I haven’t updated the list yet, but I just feel the need to say this: DO NOT TRY TO SUBMIT SHOWS THAT ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT UNDERRATED 😭. This tournament is for UNDERRATED shows.

Although I’ve been very lenient on donghua and aeni coz they make up the minority on this site, there is no way TGCF is underrated. In fact, it’s so mainstream that even though I’m part of that fandom, I’m tired of seeing it and other MXTX works all the time because it overshadows a lot of equally good, if not better, danmei works.

It may have low stats on MAL, but it was ranked #16 among the top AniManga fandoms here on Tumblr last year. The #tian guan ci fu tag has over 160k followers, while its abbreviated form #tgcf has 29k. Meanwhile, most of the submissions I’ve received have only at most 3-5k tag followers. Seriously, who are you trying to fool???

So no, TGCF is not allowed into this tournament. And so do the other MXTX works.

Mo Dao Zu Shi (MDZS) is also one of the top Tumblr fandoms linked above, and so is The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System, which is the least popular among the MXTX works.
