Do you like horror genre stories? What was a scene from a horror danmei that you found genuinely creepy/scary?
Addis: Nope. I tend to stay away because I’m not much for horror. I hate the thought of a demon trying to kick you out of your house by torturing you and talking to you while you try to sleep.
CaiCai: For me, it’s anything with talking dolls/puppets or circuses. I find them creepy even without the horror setting.
Kirio: NO TO CLOWNS!
I LOVE supernatural horror stories, rather than slasher type stuff, which just leaves me cold.
I haven’t read many danmei in that genre though, as it seems hard to find novels anywhere but here, where we can pretty much guarantee the translating won’t suddenly be dropped.
I’m Really Just An Ordinary Person had some scary aspects and characters. I have read a lot of Western horror; my favourite is Bram Stoker’s classic, Dracula.
I’d love a romantic horror, like that.
i’m good with horror genre. as in supernatural things kind of horror.
but i despise gory horror. torture, something like that.
let’s say, i can watch “the conjuring” okay, but i grimace hard watching “saw”
in danmei books, the most gory thing i’ve read is human stick or beheaded. but, as long as the process is not detailed. i can still read the book.
many translators kindly gave a warning beforehand after all. so i can prepare myself.
as for ghosts… i’m quite alright reading it.
I have never read horror…. I’ll have dreams if I read them.
I like horror kind of ghost or spirit but not too horrible killing.
Reading horror is way different from watching it. I can’t really watch it at all but reading it, I’m good.
