If I said this in China, I would get sniped by the Chinese government, but I agree, many Chinese novels just, suck. (context: I'm Chinese)

Many of it is just rinse and repeat. Some of it is good (looking at the BL comment above) and others is just wish fulfillment.

Another thing about many Chinese novels that I don't like, is the translation. In the Chinese language, sometimes there is no need for a verb, making translations difficult and oftentimes very difficult to read and enjoy. At least in my opinion. If you manage to get both a Chinese fluent and English fluent translator, I'm sure you can add in some words where it's needed and make it more readable, and less MLT like.

Those novels are "made in china", which should tell you that they're miserable bootleg products of inferior to questionable quality. /s

I don't like those chinese tropes myself, especially the whole cultivation thing. Whenever they talk about cultivation all I can think of is farming mushrooms or other foodstuff. And during their boasting about their power I always ask nyself if they're really boasting or just explaining the way to the next supermarket...

"I am Ligma Dong, 9th step of the ninth door left to the supermarket on the 9th sphere of heavenly joyful hell of heroic demon demise. Just turn right afterwards, jump down the hellhole three times, make a U-turn behind those evil gods and you're at my power level."

The thing is chinese novels with a unique story are rarely picked up even if they are popular those rinse and repeat novels cater to the immediate fantasies of the majority so yeah they make money and money talks....

All I know about Chinese novels is that they take place on solar system sized planets and the protagonists wipe out whole continents with a cold gleam in their eyes.

What I hate the most in CN Novels is Nationalism.

Here is my review for a Chinese Manhua which I think could be used for some Novels from China.

"Well first of all it's a china one.
Typically most of them that come from there are...
low quality,
garbage,
or hold huge amounts of nationalism in a way that they degrade other countries claiming them as evil or the people who are from there are scum, horrible, and inferior compared to their people in their country in any way shape, or form."

Nationalism is epic. It's the only good thing about Chinese novels.

Do you know what is more epic than nationalism? Rascism! This is why Korean novels are top-tier.
