>wth are these names and why are they all the same
like i understand having traditional names but im sick of hearing the same set of names over and over again. Please someone tell me if this is a translation thing or a literary accent or im going crazy. It feels like there is just an ai generating names from a short list of names and surnames creating the things that some of these names are. I've heard Sung Li and Wang Zu too much for my liking. Is it just a culture difference???? I know theres a lot of examples in american english with this (i.e john, will, josh, jack, ben, nathaniel)
but the difference is just so huge to me.
