Western people ripping off danmei novels and using MXTX to promote themselves

Authors write multiple genres. Stephen King has different pen names so he can write in different genres, including romance.

Also, she didn't jump on the bandwagon. She wrote something she likes and enjoys. She even got sensitivity readers and a Chinese historian to go over her works before publishing to ensure she was respectful. Just because MXTX is popular, doesn't mean everyone is going to jump on the bandwagon. A lot of these stories end up being written before 1 author becomes really famous but books take a really long time to write, so those who end up being published after that 1 famous author get seen as copycats when the schedules just happened to line up that way.
