Just as the title says, did someone else here got so tired of Chinese troupes that they even hate it? If yes, why or how did you get to that point?
I originally liked Chinese novels' troupes. But after reading and reading, I just got to the point of actually hating them, in a weird sense even. Even when the premise of a novel looks interesting, once I start reading and see something that resembles a Chinese troupe, I'll stop reading almost immediately, unless it's something not that obvious.
For the record, said troupes are:
- Cultivation (Takes out of the list almost every novel in Webnovel xD)
- CCP/Chinese racial hate speech (you know, the typical fuck USA, Japan, Korea. China is the best! Of course, this is only when things go over the top)
- MC Copy/Paste (There's a particular trait that I've found in multiple Chinese novels, that their characters are basically a copy/paste a lot of times. Like Japanese Isekai's characters. At first, they somehow look like persons, but then they feel like something bland, unidimensional characters that basically do, and even act the same as all the other Chinese characters.)
- The waifus are (in my opinion) more useless than Japanese isekai novels. They always paint them as these super-powerful girls at the beginning, but after entering the novel's harem, they become useless trophies, that in some case just gets abandoned as the protagonist goes to another realm to find more waifus. The only good part is that they at least have waifus (and do stuff with them) and not like the freaking Japanese mc's that act like a retard when women are around.
- Same story/development, different names. Now, this is what really irks me the most, and it's the fact that somehow, reading some Chinese novels can almost literally turn into reading all of them. You basically re-read the same old story, just that with different names for cultivation levels, names, cities, worlds, and enemies, but in the end, the essence is the same. Even when reading a novel of 3.000 chapters, the story repeats itself arc after arc, and you just end up reading the same story of the beginning, but with different power levels. This is the reason that I really get bored after reading a couple of arcs, as it's the same story again and again. (of course, there're exceptions, like always)
