Either they are translating others work.
Or they just put the time effort and slog into it.
And/Or they are brilliant at writing.
Plus they have a passion for what they are writing.
This is pretty much why I could not get into Attack on titan. Including knowing Kitz was right, it was to obvious plot wise for him not to be right. Minus killing off Sasha part, I did not care enough for the story by then.
To late; to the second comment.
Oh and my fridge brilliance was how I justified why I liked cultivation novels where cultivators acted like Middle School/High School kids without any adults around. I grew up in a very sexual freedom, fathers (or mothers) gone all the time, kids running around as...
Almost forgot the drug arc. When someone gets Date Rape Drugged and the MC either must rescue or be rescued by having sex, because you know they are gonna die if they do not. Rarely is it turned on its head, but I cheer usually then.
Mind you I would prefer to be with an older person, but that is harder to arrange. But yes I would also try and be a Shota. Hell I was a shota. The 70's were interesting. Dangerous if you were not careful but interesting. Also do not get oneesans arrested, they network and you want to keep the...
I am of the Hypocritical faction: If I know they have the memories of someone so much older than my 15 year old. Nope, reincarnator you may wait 3 years when my daughter has potentially matured enough to handle an adult.
If I was the reincarnator, depends. If I know people know I am a...
It is not just the people with power bit, I agree with you on it though. To many real world examples out there.
But the actual result of cultivating to extend their life is I think a bigger issue. If you look at most cultivators, especially when they are young and they get further in...
Interestingly enough if you really look into what Cultivation is within novels and how people progress through Cultivations especially "Young Master/Mistresses" it is actually biologically reasonable for them to act that way.
Isekai Cultivation arcs from my point of view in no real particular order:
The poor pitiful me how did I die arc, can be short, can be long; sometimes inverted to I Isekai'd this is so awesome. Where the Author Explains how the MC dies and how screwed they are or are not.
Meets the Family and...
I usually end up using it because I hit the wrong key on my phone and I end up at a previously read chapter which gets auto bookmarked. Instead of slogging through 2 or more chapters to reset the book mark to the page I am on, I go to the Table of Content page and check where I am at.
For the...
Agreed, and I drop any "modern genre" Chinese novels if they get to the Special Forces/James Bond arc stage. I have a high bullshit tolerance, but many of their authors have no clue about real world events or cultures. Which is very much telling in and of itself of how China teaches its own...
Sadly Korean men were/are running into this problem too, weirdly enough. Too many trying to be old style Patriarchs in a very less patriarchal world and their women not having any of it, because they have choices.
In the Chinese case it is the same as above PLUS a major gender imbalance of about...
Scribble hub and Royal Road are my prime areas. Both are just easy enough to navigate, and there is less confusion with Tags and the way the other websites handle search's. Fanfiction is another I will look around in every so often, but kind of hard to navigate. Wattpad tag system just plain...
I am on Webnovel, it is a hard slog through to find gems amongst the Dross. But sometimes you find them, hopefully they are not on hiatus/dropped. If the stars align correctly and you really get lucky there is a mention in the authors notes that they are also posting on Scribble hub or Royal...
FYI pick any adventure book in the US written before the 1990's and you can see they have a very nationalistic outlook towards everyone else. The US has mellowed since then. British shows and stories were/are not any better. French, yeah they are pretty rotten in and of themselves, and have not...
