Popular Danmei Character Tournament

CWs: object insertion, sex, death mention, alcohol, slight spoilers

Bichen from the Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation

Lan Wangji’s sword and main weapon 

Sometimes personified (mainly by ZeldaCW, I believe)

Submission: the source of some of the stupidest discourse i have ever seen, and for that I can only applaud it. an icon. a legend. bichen IS the moment. now cmon now

*long-suffering sigh* Yes, this is also the sword Wei Wuxian stuck up his ass in the Incense Burner Extra (Chapter 119). And the sword Wei Wuxian believed Lan Wangji was claiming when he pointed at himself, and Lan Wangji called him, “Mine” (Chapter 31). 

Was submitted as a joke and has somehow beaten Jin Guangyao from the same novel. Vote to increase their death count <2

Zhou Zishu from Faraway Wanderers and Lord Seventh / Qi Ye

The MC of Faraway Wanderers / Word of Honor

In Lord Seventh, he works under the Crown Prince Helian Yi as the leader of Tian Chuang

Leaves Tian Chuang, a secret organization under the Crown Prince, after his junior brother (Liang/Qin Jiuxiao) dies, and gets wasted as a beggar until he’s tasked with a young boy named Zhang Chengling’s safety

Less Popular Danmei Character Tournament

CWs: genitalia mention, death, animal mention, slavery, murder, cannibalism mention, prisoner exchange, sex, misgendering as a joke ("princess")

Shen Zechuan from Qiang Jin Jiu

Submission: he just serves absolute cunt and is absolutely insane. like we joke about characters being crazy but shen zechuan is the 1st one where ive paused reading and said outloud oh bitch you are absolutely out of your mind. Give it up for ruthless chronically ill schemers with a sense of loyalty so strong it becomes a fatal flaw and who are also at all times 100% devoted to the ppl they care about

The son of the Prince of Jianxing, who betrays the empire out of cowardice, that must survive when his entire family is to be killed for treason. There’s actually a scene at the beginning of him losing his brother in a battle and (I believe) returning to realize his father has run away

Another of the “chronically ill schemers” type and incredibly ruthless when necessary

Refuses to die or despair; he WILL survive and will turn things around - fate can be damned

Gu Mang from Stains of Filth / Yuwu

Submission: He’s my little guy

He’s the tragic ML who betrayed the MC while also being the biggest fucking clown / the comedic relief

He truly believes he’s a fucking wolf at one point. 

Essentially, Gu Mang was a slave in Murong Lian’s household, which led him to meet the MC, Mo Xi, who is a noble of similar standing to the Murong clan. He eventually becomes the General-in-Chief of the Wangba Army (later renamed to the Northern Frontier Army bc it was a funny name) and fights for the Chonghua Empire. However, since the Wangba Army was made of slaves, not a single of his fellow soldiers were given a proper burial, which - along with other reasons - led to Gu Mang defecting to an enemy nation (that also killed Mo Xi’s father and may or may not be cannibals).  

The story begins when said enemy nation trades Gu Mang back to Chonghua as a prisoner of war with parts of his soul gone, causing him to believe he’s a majestic blue wolf. The summary is a tiny bit misleading, albeit not wrong - “they’ve slept together before” is actually more “they slept together multiple times while Mo Xi, at the very least, is incredibly in love with Gu Mang.”  

Gu Mang’s also pretty funny, even with his memories gone, albeit the inherent tragedy is overwhelming. Idc what “evils” he committed… the Lotus Pavilion thing or whatever was fucked up. The author is so brutal to him, and for what? Funsies? (<--mainly joking, but it’s a SAD story… I’ve cried so many times) 

Anyway, Gu Mang Did Not Deserve This 2023 

Yan Zhengming from Liu Yao: the Revitalization of Fuyao Sect 

Submission: Winner of the award for highest number of times I’ve called a man a “pretty princess” 

Apparently has a fantastic character development into the Sect Leader (I’m not that far), but he’s also just a pretty princess <2

He’s the eldest disciple of Han Muchun / Fuyao Sect who was born into a rich family. He ran away at age seven and became Han Muchun’s first apprentice/disciple. He’s similar to a spoiled young master character, but he doesn’t really bully anyone; he may try to bully/clash with Cheng Qian, but I don’t think he wins (been a while since I started it - he’s like 15, and Cheng Qian is ~9-10 at this point) 

“Strict with others but lenient on himself” → responsible Sect Leader pipeline, More at 10 pm

Less Popular Danmei Character Tournament

CWs: s*x mention, sexual slavery

Yue Wuhuan from Mistakenly Saving the Villain

A villain saved by the MC who is focused on revenge. The story seems to focuses on trauma recovery from his life as a sex slave and handles mental health pretty well 

Technically a “yandere” character, but the Novel Updates reviews describe his possessiveness and dark thoughts as byproducts of his trauma that he heals from, realizing that he shouldn’t be thinking of the MC that way and growing

“Our ML’s journey embodies a major theme of MSTV, which is about redemption and rebirth. His tragic past shaped him into a cunning, ruthless, manipulative, and obsessive individual. His past and continuing struggle will make your hearts break. It’s a difficult and painful journey of overcoming past trauma, letting go, and subsequently achieving freedom and happiness.” - blackkoi on NU

Xiao Chiye from Qiang Jin Jiu

Submission: Also an absolutely insane character but somehow not as deranged as his husband, shen zechuan, although he comes pretty damn close. i just wanna cause problems by putting them in the same poll 

“VERY cocky and arrogant (sexy of him), but also an extremely talented leader and fighter” - QJJ Carrd

Initially kicks Shen Zechuan, the MC, due to SZC’s father’s treason, but starts to fall in love with him (Enemies → Lovers)

Is also apparently SO GODDAMN HORNY like ALL THE TIME

Popular Danmei Character Tournament

CWs: demon mention, genitalia mention, sex mention, animal/reptilian mention

Shang Qinghua from Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System 

Submission: He’s just a little guy. A little birthday boy. He has committed no crimes. It’s his birthday 🥺

The author of Proud Immortal Demon Way, Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky, who transmigrated into the An Ding Peak Lord-turned-Demon-spy Shang Qinghua

His pen name is a d*ck joke, and he wrote who knows how many chapters of bad smut with Luo Binghe collecting over a hundred wives

“I’ll follow my king for the rest of my life.” - Shang Qinghua to Mobei-jun

Zhuzhi-lang from Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System

Submission: I love him your honor 

Tianlang-jun’s most trusted subordinate and nephew, and Luo Binghe’s cousin

A half-snake, half-man demon who owes Shen Qingqiu his life and kidnapped him about it (oversimplification)

Genuinely seems worried about Shen Qingqiu but unwilling to betray Tianlang-jun

Honestly should get a reward for putting up with Tianlang-jun’s fuckery (unsubstantiated opinion)

Popular Danmei Tournament

CWs: sexualization as a joke, swearing, death/murder mention as a joke, derogatory language ("freak") as a joke

Yan Wushi from Thousand Autumns

Submission: Cuz he’s a chaotic bastard but I love him

The biggest dramatic bitch you’ve ever seen

He’s never been Normal a Day in His Life

Simultaneously the love interest and the villain who “aren’t you tired of being nice? Don’t you just wanna go apeshit?”-s Shen Qiao at All Times

If I saw this man in the streets, I would shoot him dead; he’s such a bitch, but he’s compelling. Also, a DILF with BIG titties

Xie Lian from Heaven Official’s Blessing

Submission: I know he’s gonna be submitted a bunch but he is THEE love of my life. Love the facade of silly goofy grandfather barely hiding The Horrors. He occupies about 95% of my brain space 24/7 what a little freak

Popular Danmei Character Tournament

CWs: derogatory language as a joke ("wh*re"), homophobia mention, death mention, murder mention, animal dissection/death mention

Wen Kexing from Faraway Wanderers

Dramatic and evil  

“Dying together with you is also a fine ending.” 

Incredibly devoted to Zhou Zishu 

He’s a non-violent philanthropist but also a sadistic mass murderer

Somehow recognized or fell in love with Zhou Zishu from his…back??? Okay, whore

Shen Qingqiu / Shen Yuan from Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System

Submission: He needs to be dissected like a crayfish and studied under a microscope (he’s one of the handful of danmei characters ik) 

There’s something Deeply Wrong with this man

He INVENTED unreliable narrators, baby, and he’s here to STAY (if you believe his inner voice) 

His mental gymnastics to make everything STRAIGHT and HETEROSEXUAL deserve a reward tbh

“Most homophobic gay person”

Reads bad erotica and then complains about the plot inconsistencies

Popular Danmei Character Tournament

CWs: MAJOR 2ha spoilers, d*mon mention, major character death mention

Six Balls from Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System

Look at the Submissions Here

A minor demon from SVSSS Shen Qingqiu meets while escaping Luo Binghe that’s become a fandom meme

Shen Qinqiu asks for a group of demons’ names, and Six Balls replies that he’s called Six Balls because when he was born, his Pa said he weighed about six balls. It is never elaborated what kind of balls was used as a measurement. 

Normally, Six Balls would be in the Less Popular section, but he’s the most submitted character at 14 submissions. Six Balls lives forever; you can’t escape him.

Chu Wanning from the Husky and His White Cat Shizun

You cannot read 2ha without being infested by the Chu Wanning brainrot

He loves so deeply and with all his heart but would rather die than admit it. His clumsy attempts at kindness are seen as insincere or cruel, and he will never deny it. 

He climbed 3,799 stairs while dying to save Mo Ran. He made him wontons, and let Mo Ran believe Shi Mei made them. He always chooses to save others 

“It hurt too much to hold one person in his heart, so he hid him carefully in the very depths of his heart. It was fine if that person didn’t like him, as long as he could think about that person quietly, protect that person silently; it was fine if he couldn’t have that person.”

“If you don’t know how to save others, how will you save yourself?” 

He is THE character ever made and my personal favorite. Reading 2ha means being willing to die for this man, and I’ll stand by that for the rest of my life

Popular Danmei Character Tournament

CWs: spoilers, death mention, violence, dead body mention

Shen Wei from Guardian

A mysterious humanities professor and the Male Lead of Guardian

Pined for one man for, like, 1,000 years (simp)

A really good teacher who loves his students

Very devoted but masks his true feelings

Also just terrifying to everyone except Zhao Yunlan bc of his job

Liu Qingge from Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System 

Submission 1: I JUST REALLY LOVE HIM A LOT

Submission 2: He was saved from death by the guy he hated the most and immediately proceeded to start exchanging fight tactics with him (which involves beating up his own students) and they also exchange gifts. Spent five years fighting the disciple of the same man for possession of his corpse and is a salty ass love rival (he attacked a succubus when she predicted that the disciple and his friend would get together)

Literally so beautiful that Shen Qingqiu had to do a double-take

Head empty, only fighting

"[Liu Qingge] isn't interested in Shen Qingqiu. He isn't interested in anyone. He's only interested in fighting. He wants to be the strongest and the best." – MXTX accidentally(?) convincing the entire SVSSS fandom he was in love with Shen Qingqiu is so fucking funny. Yes, he consistently takes great care to return Shen Qingqiu’s items and fought Luo Binghe for his body for five years. No, he’s not in love; why would you even ask that? What is he, gay? There’s no time for that; he’s got monsters to fight

Popular Danmei Character Tournament

CW: MAJOR spoilers for 2ha, s*x, genitalia mention, animal mention, self-sacrifice mention, non-serious murder/death threats mention, derogatory language as a joke ("d*mb*ss" and "b*tch")

Mo Ran from the Husky and His White Cat Shizun

Submission: dumbasses need representation too

He’s obsessed with his Shizun (Chu Wanning), but for plot reasons, he “hates” Chu Wanning. Still wants to fuck him tho (he thinks this is normal)

Constantly doing a fucking limbo contest where the bar is understanding his own feelings (he’s underground)  

The author pulls him and the reader through the redemption of a century kicking and screaming. 

Canonly has the largest d*ck in the cultivation realm (that we know of) - “Seen when bathing at Deyu Hall; an absolute unit, truly awe-inspiring” (Ch.131) - that leads to Chu Wanning having an entire crisis

“Because like people, an ox has gotta eat. For the sake of eating, a lot of work has to be done. If one day you can’t work anymore, then no one cares if you’re alive or dead.” - Ch.65, Ox Eats Grass 

The reason behind his “hatred-yet-not-hatred” for Chu Wanning is wild - he purposefully chose to take the Flower of Everlasting Hatred to save Chu Wanning, causing him to become Taxian-jun 

His story is also incredibly tragic, but we don’t talk about that 

Mu Qing from Heaven Official’s Blessing

Submission: He's so powerful and so pathetic. The duality of man

Mu Qing can split a tower bell in two yet can’t admit he wanted to be friends with the MC Xie Lian. He tried to sacrifice himself as soon as he did.

Randomly started reciting a poem about his least favorite coworker’s dick just to fuck with him (Feng Xin) 

Said he would kill Xie Lian if he was sent him as a bride

Apparently spent two hours telling Feng Xin how ugly his statue was in the Nan Yan Temple on Mount Yujun (source)

Is just kinda a bitch (affectionate)

An Zhe from Little Mushroom 

Submission 1: honest to god, he’s just a little mushroom

Submission 1: he’s just a little mushroom

An optimistic mushroom mutated into a human trying to find his stolen spores

“An Zhe is the only person who wholeheartedly believes in Lu Feng [the ML]” - Carrd 

Cui Buqu from Peerless / Wushuang

Submission: He’s mean, he’s disabled and unapologetic about it, he’s a genius and all his braincells escape him when faced with his rival, he’s a secret agent and has no martial arts, he’s deeply in love and will never say so unless pushed, he will liken his rival to his sun and then tell him he’s the most annoying person he’s ever met. He’s a bastard little fox <3

Popular Danmei Character Tournament

CWs: spoilers, s*x mention, G*d mention, dead body mention, death, d*mon mention, violence mention

Hua Cheng / San Lang from Heaven Official’s Blessing

Submission: he's my boy, my blorbo, my big fav, i can't believe he wasn't on the list yet 

Ahhhhhhhhh, we love a sassy devoted love interest in this house

Devoted himself to Xie Lian for 800+ years before they properly met and was one of the only people who actually listened to how Xie Lian wanted to be “worshipped” / treated as a god 

“The one standing in infinite glory is you; the one fallen from grace is also you. What matters is ‘you’ and not the state of you.”

“To watch with your own eyes your beloved be trampled and ridiculed, yet unable to do anything. That’s the worse suffering in the world.”

“If I could, I would have you use me as your stepping stone, the bridge you take apart after crossing, the corpse bones you need to trample to climb up, the sinner who deserved the butchering of a million knives. But I know you wouldn’t allow it.”

“Your Highness, I am forever your most devoted believer.”

“...I don’t care if anyone else is disappointed. But to some, the very existence of a certain person in this world is in itself hope.”

His handwriting is HORRIBLE. He literally tattooed Xie Lian’s name on his arm, and NO ONE KNEW because of how bad his handwriting is. 

His communication array password is so embarrassing Xie Lian assumes that pretty much no one wants to say it (and that may be the point)

Mobei-jun from Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System

Submission 1: Everything he says makes me laugh. I just think he’s neat.

Submission: 2: Beloved by God

Submission 3: Hoping for a Mobei Jun vs Shang Qinghua face off for the drama of it all 

Luo Binghe’s subordinate as the ruler of the Mobei Clan of the Demon Realm who got beat up by Luo Binghe and then followed him forever ig (“the jet fuel to [Luo Binghe’s] flame” or his right-hand man)

Shang Qinghua, the transmigrated author of Proud Immortal Demon’s Way, wrote him as his ideal man (and Mobei-jun is his favorite character). After he saves Mobei-jun and defects to the demons, Mobei-jun tends to beat him up, which is the demon equivalent of flirting. 

He thinks he’s doing a great job seducing Shang Qinghua who just Wants a Break. They somehow get into an actual relationship and have horrible sex

“If I let you hit back, then will you not go?” - Mobei-jun to Shang Qinghua

Less Popular Danmei Character Tournament

CWs: death mention, murder mention, animal mention, r*bies mention, b*g/ins*ct mention, swearing, suggestive language

Wenren È from Devil Venerable Also Wants to Know

The MC of Devil Venerable Also Wants to Know, Wenren È, finds a book that details the world around him where he’s the second male lead / love interest who dies to protect the Female Lead / protagonist. He is not in love with her, and he can’t imagine dying for her as is; he also doesn’t understand why his subordinate, who supposedly likes her as well, tried to kill her after his death. I think he’s tasked with addressing readers’ concerns with the novel, but there’s also a lot more going on lol

Submission 1: unhinged, no idea what romance is, has a feral dog with rabies for a boyfriend and thinks that boyfriend is super cute. Also, middle aged man. I love middle aged men.

Submission 2: Because Look, he is trying to get two characters to fall in love for Important Plot reasons and a: him and his main Minion have to look up what love is like in the shitty romance novels they're characters in, and then b: decide to make the two characters fall in love through the Cunning Use of Bugs. Also he got a copy of the book he is a character in, found out his fate, and was like I Think The Fuck Not. 

He also has pretty good morals, if not personality. He’s a much better guy than I expected him to be tbh 

Wu Xi from Lord Seventh / Qi Ye 

Submission: He is the roundworm in my stomach

Qi Ye tells the story of Prince Jing Beiyuan’s seventh life, which is a repeat of his first life. Wu Xi is the Great Shaman’s Shamanet and the Empire’s captive from Nanjiang who did not appear in Jing Beiyuan’s first life. 

From what I remember, he uses something similar to magic to make a court official become aroused / see a beautiful woman and embarrass himself in front of the entire court. As a child. 

He also has a vast array of dangerous and venomous animals, one of which he gifts to Jing Beiyuan after they become friends.
