It's the oblivious beta male MCs that drive me frickin insane. I don't mind that in some situations but dear god it's like there's a genetic imperative that causes Japanese authors to be physically incapable of writing any other type of character as the MC. Even more baffling because they often use a vast array of personality types for side characters and antagonists.
I hate japanese light novels
TYErannical I hate isekai harem ones, I say isekai harem because they have then dumbest reasons for the girls falling in love with the main character. Like "Oh, you bought me as a slave damn get in my lower mouth"
Overlord is a really good novel. It is my favorite japanese novel so far
Tugster Yup its like their only way of showing their gratitude is being a meat toilet

TYErannical Seems like you are not reading the right novels...
Try 'Girl Who Ate Death' or 'Dragon's Bloodline' or 'The Death Mage That Doesn't Want A Forth Time'...
But korean novels are alot better in general compared to both chinese and japanese tbh. Like 'Dungeon Defense' or 'Book Eating Magician'.
...cause sometime japanese novels tends to tell everything and sometimes becoming too redundant. Even the movement of the characters hairs will be told in the story too much details leads to not focusing in the story, thats why sometime you get so bored.
Primordialcha Eh, chinese novels are the worst I've seen for things being repeated over and over or explanations that should take one sentence being drawn out over paragraph after paragraph.
[unknown] describing a beauty in chinese novels tend to become a whole paragraph
Everything haw the good and bad side. Pipel plz, you have your own criterias, not all people think :')
Tbh, jap nov kinda... Hmm always copypaste and not original :'(
Cn nov, always repeatable, tend to explain thing or progress again and again every chap, always have higher realm haha
Kr nov, hmmm better maybe? Why? I think because the plot, they tend to try create something from somethin (?)
TYErannical
Yeah ? For me, most of the time it's the unbearable, and disgusting claim stinking of the pride present in 80 % of the fiction Chinese... The typical murderer "i'm super poverfull and i have the right for killing anithing in my path" thing, you know ?
And to answer you: bed something different, all the novel are not written by immature teenagers, and it is enough to choose them better.

Ombrelongue exactly and when we finally get a hinese novel that doesn't have cultivation in it the novel is filled with how china is so great and how other countries are sht compared to it. I don't mind if you only praise China but why insult other countries as well?
DaoistSimple We gotta keep the teenagers here somehow!
[unknown] Amen brother. Those sissy eunuchs nearly drove me nuts I had to give up on them.
[unknown] give me titles of JP novels that you read. well to tell the truth every nation has its own trash novel.
even here there is junk novel but somehow people cant stop reading it, like LoHP. its like eating junk food. (i guess some people would be triggered)
I do have to say I'll always be grateful towards Jap Light Novels though because they're what first got me into reading web novels. I went from Anime (animehere.com) > Manga (mangafox and bakaupdates websites) > Jap Light Novels (baka-tsuki) > Fanfiction (fanfic.net) > Amazon Ebooks (finally got a job and could afford to buy books) > Korean Webnovels (LMS started me on this way back when Ninyave first posted the scans of book 1 to their blogspot) > Chinese web novels (spcnet.tv got me started here) > all kinds of webnovels (novelupdates)
