#I cant wait to read more stars of chaos to see chang geng's character trajectory!!

I think a big reason why I like danmei so much is that even though the romance of course is the oft talked about highlight, I love that it takes its time to develop its main characters to the point I am completely content to just have entire books just following *their* journeys. Even without the romance. Like, I can and will read entire books length chunks of Xie Lian's entire 800+ years history. I thoroughly enjoy Wei Wuxian just doing his weird estranged uncle shtick for chapters on end. Or even just reading about all of Shen Qiao's unfortunate travels. So even if you're not into the romance at first or its an incredibly long slow burn, there is still SO MUCH to chew on. I think it's totally possible for someone out there that isn't entirely on board for the romance to continue reading just to see the main character's arc come to some sort of satisfying end. I would say Danmei fandoms are one of the rare instances where its quite common to say the main character is your favorite character! and I think that's so fun and cool and aahhhhh i love fiction that have multiple elements to sink your teeth into!!
