I agree with you so much.When I first discover translation webnovels, these plots were soooo interesting!! But as I get more into this circle, this generic plot of bullied rich girl finds a tyrannical ceo to help her and "Yu Huo Chong Sheng" FL trope gets REALLY cheap and boring. It gets cringey.
This is why I turned to Boys Love. I used to hate it, couldn't accept it. But with the Summer drama then reading the original novel add on the generic mary sue, I came to accept homosexual love between guys because they give me the thrills of what I used to use when I started out with translated novels. These straight romance just don't excites me anymore. Especially the one with the scumbag ML that constantly give the FL insecurity. Not to mention the giant piles of rape and "misunderstandings."
Don't forget the ancient China plots with the Top agent/doctor/assassin died and reborn into the body of a good for nothing miss and attracted the love of the ML trope. And why does all these female face slappers ALWAYS either a doctor or a celebrity? Can't you find something else for them? Maybe something unique? Maybe a Hanfu wearing (everyday) female lead who's an archaeologist who speaks what's on her mind, hot blood person who loves to win any type of big and small argument, and a constant "let the cat out of the bag" type of girl? Anyways that would be my female lead if I was to write a novel.
Because girl, those "I don't care, let them talk" female lead who endures then have a grand face slap is really frustrating!! Like just do it already!! Too Mary Sue
