Ooh, I feel you!! The most bizarre, for me, is the fact that in the majority of those manhuas all the other women (except the FL) are portraited as those two faced bitches omg... that's like an nonexistence of healthy relationships between women (and that just propagates the discourse of hate between women)...
They probably copy each other the style I mean I've seen so many mangas that use this kind of style that it's just amazing and not in a good way. To be honest I always get caught up with this kind of mangas I just don't know why they just seem so interesting in the start and and then I just get deeply disappointed on the end. It's sad. ヽ(`Д´)ノ
I accept that they are over the top and I read mostly for the revenge, but man, so many of them have male leads we have arrested in real life (for rape, for stalking, for sexual harassment, for all manner of htings). It's hard to root for a male lead who is a total asshole.
But readers excuse it cause, well, he's hot.
I can enjoy revenge and crazy plots, but I dont' have to like asshole males or bitch females or stupid characters. I just go for the ride and admit most of the folks are trash.
why all the chinese manhuas are always about a CEO falling in love with a girl who is not interested on him??? and the female lead is always abused by her father, stepmother and stepsister while her real mother is dead or just ill. Besides, they always try to make the mc the most cunning person alive when actually, guess what?, she's not. Oh, another detail that i almost forgot, her boyfriend (usually betrothed) always cheat on them with her sister, (who acts all innocent, naive and cute when is actually a bitch), and when the protagonist start to show 0 intereset in them, they get jealous and blame the fl for """"cheating"""" on them. Ah, and the art is so similar in all of them that it seem that all these manhuas are drawn by the same person, well, and wrote by the same person too.
sorry for my bad english, it's not my first language
