For those who can’t get enough of BL content and love to indulge in novels and dramas alike, this is a great drama adapted from Priest’s novel “Faraway Wanderers”. A fantastic wuxia-based story with so much action as well as intense emotional feelings as the two male leads fall in love. For those interested to see the book come to life, this adaptation does an amazing job bringing the content to life (minus a few parts that were censored of course). As for symbolism used throughout the story instead of filling in missing romantic moments for viewers, readers can get the full scoop of Zhou Zishu and Wen Kexing’s love in the novel instead where the two males get much more action than in the TV series.

The production values are very high and the acting, as expected, is first rate. As was the novel, the relationships between the characters are very dynamic and the leads’ interactions are really great. There are a few places where the story has been streamlined for the purpose of the screen, but overall, all of the core themes of redemption, loyalty and love have been maintained. In addition, the novel goes into more detail regarding the back stories of many of the characters which gives insight into their motivations which the TV adaptation only hints at. I can highly recommend the novel, Faraway Wanderers, now available in English translation.

I just wanted to share that I have been reading a lot of danmei novels as well as their adaptations and that Word of Honor is based off of the BL novel Faraway Wanderers by Priest. The novel itself is a great combination of wuxia and danmei, providing lots of detail about the various wuxia techniques as well as slowly revealing the romantic relationship between the two main characters. The drama does a great job of sticking to the basic plot and feeling of the novel while censoring certain parts of the romantic content. The chemistry between Zhou Zishu and Wen Kexing is palpable, and how they slowly start to develop feelings for each other is really amazing. For fans of the drama, the novel provides a ton of background information on the characters and has lots of details about their interactions that aren’t shown in the adaptation.

I am a huge fan of both danmei and wuxia novels, and Word of Honor is one of the rare exceptions of adaptations that did the novel justice. Faraway Wanderers by Priest is an incredible mix of martial arts and romance, and while the adaptation has been censored in many places, the drama did a fantastic job of portraying the intricate plot and developing relationships. A very notable aspect of the novel is the complex relationships between the many male leads, and especially the tortuous bond between Zhou Zishu and Wen Kexing.

The drama illustrates the ‘soulmates’ theme through visual storytelling while the novel explicitly states it. The world building of the novel is far more detailed and comprehensive, including a more in-depth portrayal of the jianghu setting as well as the backstories of all the characters. Thus, if you enjoy the pacing and the development of the characters in the drama, then you will definitely love the novel. ‘Faraway Wanderers’ is a must-read for all BL fans as well as wuxia fans alike.

When I read a BL story that I really enjoy, I like to seek out the rest of the author’s work. Typically, an author’s novels can be found on Wattpad, their short stories can be found on AO3 and they may be serializing another work on Tapas. By following the author of a story that I really like, I can add all of their other work to a “to read” list and really experience the full range of an author’s work. By focusing on the authors rather than the platforms where their stories are published, I get to read other works by my favorite BL authors. The majority of the authors I enjoy publish their works on a variety of platforms – some may publish novels on Wattpad while serializing short stories on AO3 and releasing other works on Tapas. I follow my favorite authors so that I can add all of their works to a “to-read” list. Often, authors cross-post their work, or include links to all of their published works in their bio. This way of reading online is far more cohesive than reading a highly-recommended novel published on some random website.

Are there any sequels to Payback BL novel?

7 Answers2025-08-19
I’ve spent way too long searching for this over the past year or so. Payback originally was a web novel on KakaoPage that did get a sequel series, however the English translation only reached the first volume of the novel. I believe the raws for this series are out there somewhere. The situation is unfortunately typical for Western audiences of light novels: There is more to read, but it hasn’t yet been translated for the local market. Hence, the reader is left with Fan-Translations that tend to vary in quality.

How many pages is a novel at 80,000 words typically?

9 Answers2025-11-05
More pages = more paper. So, while publishers inflate page count to try to get more value out of the book, more pages = more trees down. An 80k word novel responsibly designed to a 280 page book has a much smaller eco-footprint than the same words inflated to 380 pages. Why not value clear, concise, efficient design as much as great design?

Wait. Which Payback is that even? I only know of two BL stories with that title; one’s a Korean novel, most likely, set in a revenge plot, and the other’s a Chinese web novel. Where would I search for that? If it’s the Korean novel then I’d look for the raws on sites like KakaoPage or Ridibooks. As there is no official English translation available for ‘Payback’, we rely on fan efforts to translate this BL novel. I recommend checking out the Korean BL communities on Discord, as these channels are usually sorted by title and completed translations are linked. Note that most of these servers require an invite link, which can be found on the Twitter accounts of the translators or in the respective server’s descriptions. Although it may require a bit more effort, translated content on these servers is usually very well formatted and up-to-date.

how many words per chapter in a romance novel

8 Answers2025-06-10
This is one of the most flexible genres when it comes to chapter length. You can have a cozy, slow-burn contemporary novel with 8,000-word chapters that are so much fun to read. Or you can have a fast-paced, indie rom-com where every chapter is around 1,500 words and you read them in one sitting. I guess it depends on the author and the story. High-tension romantic suspense is often written in short, sharp chapters to keep the tension up. Sweeping historical sagas can be written in longer, more leisurely chapters. There is no industry standard here. In digital format, 3,000-5,000 words seems to be the sweet spot for maximum reader engagement. It’s long enough to get fully immersed in a couple of scenes, but not so long that you get tired before you reach the end of the chapter. As long as the chapter ends on a good emotional high point or a cliffhanger of some sort, the word count fades into the background.

What are the best bl smut novels to read right now?

5 Answers2025-09-22
I'll preface this by saying rankings are so subjective but if you're looking for the rawest form of erotic content with plot to back it up (so not porn), Killing Stalking has sort of a cult following for a reason. The dark twisted psychological horror is wrapped up in a beautiful little boy story and is just masterfully tensioned. Obviously it's not a comfortable read but that's because it explores the topics of obsession and abuse in a twisted form and isn't exactly romance. But if you're looking to be gripped by a very very disturbed dynamic and are in the right headspace to read it, it's definitely a standout read. For a more recent webnovel, Painter of the Night seems to be getting a lot of love lately. I haven’t read it myself, but the art is apparently gorgeous and adds a ton of value to the story.

Is passion bl novel available as an audiobook?

I'm thrilled to share that 'Passion' is indeed available as an audiobook! It's a fantastic way to experience the story, especially if you're commuting or just want to relax with your eyes closed. The narration adds a whole new layer of emotion, making the romantic moments even more intense. I listened to it on Audible, and the voice actor did an amazing job capturing the characters' personalities. If you're new to BL audiobooks, 'Passion' is a great starting point. The production quality is top-notch, and the pacing keeps you hooked. I also recommend checking out 'Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation' and 'Heaven Official's Blessing' if you enjoy immersive audio experiences. Audiobooks can really bring these stories to life in a way that reading sometimes can't, especially with the right narrator.

Does Passion Novel BL have a happy ending?

10 Answers2025-08-21
The ending feels as happy as the book earns out for you based on how much you buy into the central relationship and their redemption arc. So if you were pulling for them to get better and win their love, then this is a triumphant ending for them. But if you didn’t feel like they were capable of overcoming their toxic ways, then this could feel a bit rushed or unsatisfying. I fell for them, so for me it worked really well. The happiness of the ending comes from their growth and their ability to be better together than apart. So yes, an overall happy ending, but one that is earned through the characters’ development.
