I mean… I kinda get it, but nowadays it’s starting to get absurd.

It do be like that with manga/manhua tbh. I still prefer Korean webcomics because I like my trash but… It’s been ages since I read a decent Chinese webcomic or manhua. They are so fucking trash. I’m sure there are some good ones but… Yeah.
Chinese yuri and yaoi goes hard but most of the good ones are webnovels. Heavenly officials blessing has a chinese anime adaptation tho.
Chinese studios on their way to create yet another Wuxia donghua
That’s the problem, I love wuxia, I love stupid power levels and all that, I love my trash comics. It’s the story they tell alongside that that irks me to no end.
Close to zero decent dialogue between people besides shitty villains talking big until the hero flips his eyelash and suddenly everyone is bowing to them. There’s no interesting characters, no banter.
To give some examples of wuxia done right (I like the top batch more but the other ones are alright):
Return of the mount hua sect Infinite levelling: murim Return of the crazy demon Nano machine Absolute sword sense Star instructor or something
I reincarnated as the crazed heir Path of the shaman
Half wuxia: Murim login
All of these have a mc with personality, there’s decent banter between characters, there’s an interesting plot, plot changes make sense…
There’s also the “dungeon” theme with portals that grew in popularity since solo levelling (around then) that is basically the same trash plot with another power level vector.
I liked Mo Dao Zu Shi, but it’s one of the more known ones anyway I think
Thanks for the recommendation! I liked Feng Shen Ji too to be honest. It’s one of my favorites haha.
Chinese studios going on to make the most misogynistic shit I’ve seen
I don’t want to generalise but… Yeah… That’s a big reason why a lot of manhuas just suck.
it’s honestly crazy, most LGBT stuff I’ve seen was from china, but also most misogynistic and homophobic shit I’ve read was also from china
