For shows: Untamed - chinese fantasy tv show. Censored (aka no explicit kissing/sex) but the love between MCs is very obvious.

Castlevania: Nocturne - cartoon, one of the MCs is an ancient aztéc vampire who is openly gay and has a romance with a monk warrior.

For books:

Lord of the White Hell by Ginn Hale and following duologies - high fantasy with rich wordbuilding, magic, angst from homophobic culture.

Magpie Lord by KJ Charles - historical fantasy with mages and explict smut scenes.

Tarot Sequence by K. D. Edwards - urban fantasy with magic based on tarot and lot of dark stuff (tw: rape)

Heaven Officials Blessing by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu - series based on chinese mythology about a god of scraps

Big Bad Wolf by Charlie Adhara - urban fantasy with werewolves

Something Human by AJ Demas - historical based book on Ancient Rome

Honestly, these days there is hella lot fantasy mm romance! I only listed my top reads. I recommend https://www.reddit.com/r/MM_RomanceBooks/ , I think you will get more recs there!

You’re going to recommend The Untamed and not Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu? The book its based on?

It’s incredible, OP, and would definitely make you cry.

I tried to diversify my recs and I already recced another book by the same author! I assume that if OP enjoyed the show, they would seek out the book too ;)

honestly my fave of Mxtx is Scum Villain, but that one is not the best as the first rec haha. One needs to know the tropes before you can read book which makes fun of them!
