about danmei novels
Y'all tell me if I'm wrong but I'm speaking from experience. I promise you I wouldn't be reading this crap if it wasn't for corona.
I spent around an hour writing/proofreading this and I can't read it anymore so sorry if my grammar isn't the best or I repeat myself. I haven't written this much in ages but I needed to vent. :)
Tell me if I miss anything if you somehow read it all. Although I know I wouldn't if I were you.
------Ancient Cultivation/Martial Arts stories with a Male MC------
Now I haven't read one since 2020 for the reasons stated below (well mainly harems) so I might not remember everything.
-They can have such a good start, an interesting concept, but they're never delivered well. I always get disappointed with them.
-Plot holes.
-People are always saying crap like, "courTINg dEAtH!!2!!@1!!"
-They give off misogynistic vibes. The writers seem to be the biggest misogynists and it's not it.
-The authors can't write realistic female characters for shit. Even if they can, chances are they'll fall for the MC and become a common character trope. Like those big boobs, no brain, ones.
-Harems in every one. There'll always be a harem even if there's no harem tag. Why? Goddamn I stopped reading them overall because of harems.
------Ancient Cultivation/Martial Arts stories with a Female MC------
Now these'll be more specific since I've read some recently.
-The writers aren't even that good tbh.. There's a lot of filler, problems with the plot's pace and plot holes. I feel like some of them could take classes.
-It feels like every single one of these is the same plot but with slight alterations.
-The step family, there's always a step-family/sister somehow and it annoys the crap out of me.
-Why do they always have to be transmigrated into a general's family or a noble family? I'd love to read a story where a girl is reborn/transmigrated into a commoners family and rises up from there.
-Plot holes.
-They often are later revealed to be the child of a super super prominent family. How do all these girls who were 'fated to be phoenixes' end up in a small country?
-The characters are always born into low-level countries that aren't that developed but they never say that at first. They hype up how great the character is in a pile or trash and then the character slowly travels to higher level countries after becoming top in that country/level. Please if they were that arrogant after being transmigrated into higher-level countries they'd die instantly bitch.
-They were always a top doctor or assassin in their past life.
-Extremely possessive male leads that come from who knows where.
-The leads are always so fucking arrogant; tone it down Jessica/Mark.
-----Modern Time Based Love Stories-----
I'm so tired of these..
-Why is it always, "CEoO's SEcRET wIFE!1@!!" Does every love story have to have the male lead be a CEO? Why can't he do something else for fucks sake.
-The female lead always falls in love with the rich fucker who rapes her. Why do all of them romanticize rape? Why can there be no healthy relationships?
-The words, "dOmInEErINg," "PoweRfUl," and "POsseSIvE," are consistently used to describe the male lead. Please learn some more adjectives.
-The words, "NaIvE," "iNnOcEnt," and "fIerCe," are consistently used to describe the female lead. Once again, they need to learn more adjectives.
-The black card.. After the female lead gets the black card, which she 100% will, she'll have an encounter with a female antagonist in the mall and they'll fight over clothes. You know what happens after that.
-Again the female lead's family is always straight trash or it's later revealed they're actually from a super super prominent family.
-Someone from the male lead's family is going to hate the female lead.
-These fuckers always have amnesia. It can be both the female and male lead or just one.
-The misunderstandings kill me. Communication is key to a healthy relationship. Not to put all the blame on the male leads for this, the female leads need to work on communicating too.
~My criticism for manhua's would be the art. I already talked about the plot and crap since they're adapted from novels. Anyhow, it's bad. The facial expressions and body language is too overexaggerated as is the writing in the novels. It might be what Chinese people like and I genuinely wish the artists and writers the best if they're doing what they love. However, stop with the rape and harems.~
tl;dr: character and plot tropes are abused, overexaggerated writing, plot holes, possessive/rapey male leads, harems, bad art.
Side Note: I know this isn't every single Chinese novel, they're simply what I've noticed after reading what I have. I'm not sinophobic nor prejudiced against Chinese people. I'd welcome any recommendation's y'all have.

about question
Y'all ever wonder what the original host of whichever body the mc possesses is doing? What makes the MC so important that they're the only one whose wish gets fulfilled or are randomly transported into another world. What right does the MC have to live someone else's life like that? Why do they feel no guilt? They usually transport into novels where they read of the character's fate so they know the body doesn't belong to them. Even if they transmigrate into a so called villains body how is that justification for living someone else's life? How is it justification for stealing their family and friends? How do they have no mental breakdown's or not go insane?
I doubt the original hosts of the bodies wanted someone else to live their lives. I mean sure some of books have addressed it nicely but the majority don't. Also, I'll read isekai's but this problem has been bothering me quite a bit.
I'd say, "Trash of the Count's Family," has done the best job addressing this. And a side note for people who have read the novel and are caught up on it, y'all ever wonder when Raon's attribute/power will come into hand? I'm not going to say exactly what is it. However for those who do know it, don't you think it hasn't been addressed enough and the time theme going on could have something to do with it?

about question
i love this story- purely for the psychological aspect to it. it's about a lonely guy who was getting stalked by another one and the stalker slowly but surely works his way into the mc's life. i havent read it in a while but i think it includes stockholm syndrome, invasion of privacy, rape, imprisonment, etc. dont quote me on that-
here's the issue i have, some delusional fucks in the comments think the relationship is "cute" and "they ship it" or whatever. like bitch what?? some even pity the stalker. assuming they're around my age (14) they should still know what's right and wrong cuz i sure as hell do. if they dont and are still very impressionable, where the fuck are their parent/guardians? if they're adults they need serious therapy.
ill post some of the comments in the replies give me a sec-
also here's the link for the story, i rlly do recommend it if you like psychological stories and you can separate reality from fiction: https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/stalker_s_game/

about falling inlove
you can use this as a vent. so your worst unrequited love story, worst breakup, current issues with your significant other, your horrible love life/lack of a lover overall, etc. anything you havent been able to share with anyone but you're fine with sharing with strangers who will forget abt you.
dont judge each other, that'd defeat the purpose of this thread. you can always come back to this if you need to.
anyway no this is not tinder so dont start hooking up- altho id love to be a matchmaker im not tryna feel more single than i already do rn.

about question
y'all ever just be the biggest hypocrites? cuz istg ill hate a side character/antagonist for doing something morally wrong but not give a fuck if it's the mc is doing it. who knows i might even love the mc for doing it/being that way or have started reading that story bc the mc is so fucked up. the reason for that might be because i read from practically every genre so ive seen all types of mc's.
im well aware of it so ive been trying to stop forming opinions on whether something is morally right or wrong and view it all objectively. it might not let me experience the story fully but im like extremely tired of thinking how hypocritical it can get to hate a character for something id love another character for.
