  • Why are most MC's beta AF???

Actually each country has their own typical MC trope.

China - Reincarnation from previous life and got the body of a guy so weak with the same name.
You can even add some spice on it like the MC is a master alchemist , master swordsman , immortal in the previous life and retain his/her memories for the cheat.

Korea - Reincarnation but his soul travel back in time from his own body earlier where he/she is weak.
You can even add some spice on it like the MC is a common soldier with high exp on wars , master swordsman but got betrayed by a companion , immortal in the previous life and retain his/her memories for the cheat.

Japan - Reincarnation but this time the MC always gets hit by Truck-san and reincarnated into another world.
Always getting ran over by all types of vehicle but 90% of the time it's Truck-san.

    dotaislife you should give Er Gen's novel a try, if u want a deep story(sometimes dark,melancholy) and a likeable mc.

      pretty sure most CN MC are rather more alpha than beta, if you speak about JN then yes most MC are rather beta.
      there is also the problem of some cultural difference, maybe in china it's the most typical way to react.
      every novel have it's cultural influence from the author, and especially on CN, JN, KN, these typical trope is very strong.

        try to read, Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich, and Release That Witch, those are the reason I came to qidian.
        not much usual trope from chinese novel.

          dotaislife It's been my experience that most guys who think they are "alpha" are really just a** holes.

            I like Leylin Farlier more, ruthless, dark, mastermind, dont give a shit, stay on one goal. Ahahahaha.

            dotaislife oh boy, if you think all Chinese novel's MC are beta... NEVER ever go and read Japanese novels... U might self destruct or suicide xD

            3 years ago, i was like u but about Japanese MC, then i find out about Chinese novels and damn it's so much better.

            It kinda seems like most people are irritated by the lack of ass-raping when the MC gets rekt by the antagonist.But,have you guys read novels like csg,atg and mga? Omfg those MCs are just plain frickin brutal like no shiet.They kill and do a shit tonne of face smacking like its nobody's bussiness.The point I'm trying to make is that most Chinese novels I have read has a tendency of tipping the balance between being civilised and being alpha-ish to ermm to an unhealthy ratio .So,the only real solution is to read as much novels as possible until you find the correct blend that suits your taste and hopefully you could wash away the aftertaste of a bad experience

            Krieze That is far, far too true. The prefect summary. And yet, for all the cliche and repetition I can't keep away. 😓

            dotaislife Have you tried Doulou Dalu? It's pretty unique, or at least I have very fond memories; it's what got me so addicted in the first place.

              dotaislife well if that's what you're looking for I recommend
              Swallowed Star
              Stellar Transformation
              Dungeon Hunter
              Undefeated God Of War (humor asf+ dank MC ASF gives no shits 1 bit)

                Eukro I don't you get the question. It's not about the mc thinking that he's an "alpha" but having a fucking spine. Most mc's nowadays are pathetic, thus "beta." At least that what I'm getting from this.
