DA seems to be somewhat Eurocentric, or at least with the characters’ interests/studies, so I would like to see something different.
I read Babel and really liked it. I would like to read something where a character (ideally MC but that might be asking too much) is interested in studying Chinese (language/culture/philosophy/etc) as opposed to like Classics or English. Japanese studies would be great, but I’m guessing for more historical settings it would be Chinese.
The story wouldn’t have to be centered around sinology or anything , but more as just the character is very interested in it—perhaps in contrast to the other characters who are more interested in “traditional” subjects.
Extra bonus points for gay male MC, but this is 100% optional.
Thank you.
