Maybe this is the first time for some into danmei novels or not their first language, so being a bit confused can be natural. Thankfully there's many kind people here in the comments explaining so now everyone that's interested can learn.
Books are like food. You know you need something healthy, nutricious and wholesome to feed in the best way possible your body, just like a good book that's insightful, profound and leaving a long lasting impression for your life but sometimes even if its not the best for you, you crave the fast food; simple, delicious and indulgent.
I love cliches, dumb premises and some problematic content. Is not everything I read in my everyday life, I quite love biographies and Latin American magical realism, but sometimes something silly is what I need after a hard day in the real world.
When did anyone mention rape plotlines???
The reason most people don't get it (like me) is because of either translation or if it's their first time reading a ancient trope like this. It could also be because this trope is never fucking explained properly. I have read at least 3-5 other stories with this type of setting and I STILL didn't get wtf Cultivation, or Murim, or the levels meant until I saw a reddit post explaining it all.
Don't be an asshole just cus other people don't comprehend shit like you do
This MANWHA may be well written, but the fan translation is not, so it doesn't matter how well written it is if people can barely understand it. Also Im pretty sure the majority are still confused. (I'll calculate it if u want me to lol)
I like how instead of trying to help other people by explaining this story in the comments like other sane people here, ya'll both resort to insulting people's intelligence, like that'll help or add anything useful to the convo.
People on this website are hilarious
I think some wonderful people have helped enough in the comments so there's no need to explain the same things again. Also comments are here to express an opinion although I do agree calling readers dumb would be pretty far fetched but it's really not that difficult to understand the general gist of what's going on. It's not like fan translations are the only options here with officials up to date. It's more like some people don't even put any effort in understanding whatever they're reading and just want to complain about a specific arc. Also, no one's obliged to add anything useful to the conversation. Anyone can express their opinion here, just like how those confused readers did
True, which is why there's no point to try to start shit in the comments.
Yeah people can leave their opinions but if that opinion involves insulting others that don't deserve it, I just think there's no reason for them to share it. It's kinda like commenting on a news post for a basketball player who just died and commenting "LEBRON'S BETTER" yeah, they have a right to say that, but it's just really disrespectful and a big target for arguments
I think your example doesn't work here. I mean commenting that on someone's death would be insensitive and morally wrong and we're not discussing that here. I don't think anyone's starting shit here but merely expressing that this is somewhat easy to understand and some people are starting to make a mountain out of a mole hill
ngl not sure if its because i have the upper hand since ive delved into danmei novels and so i can understand the setting of the story but still... some of yall are dumb as fuck. like no wonder you just gravitate to the same old colleen-hoover-but-if-the-main-characters-were-men rehashed yaoi story lines romanticizing rape and abuse again and again ctfuuuu yall are so cooked - media literacy and reading comprehension in complete shambles. open up the schools back up.
