UnhingedTaboo Dayuum sir If you ever start any novel with this Idea Let me know I sure as hell would wanna read that :O
Too Much "HOMESICKNESS!" In WebNovels
Immortal_Simo he has written a novel- "great exotic food critique"
DaoMasterTianLong It is the translator being lazy. The Chinese term for East China Sea can also mean Eastern Sea which is part of Chinese mythology. Some dumb translators like those of Martial God Space are idiots who don't know such basic thing.
To be fair they can't say anything, their internet is heavily monitored and if their caught bye?
On a off note the chineese propaganda is hilarious. Watch somwthing covering ww2 when japan invaded. You'll basically be watching martial arts experts with bows and swords slaughtering hundreds of modern japeneese soldiers. If you need a laugh anyways.
I just seriously feel..that this patriotism wave is gonna kill all the good repo which we readers ever had of china.. It is just like "Its ok When U cut fish for soup..but its Blunder when u Mincemeat it and mix it with broth"..that is what happening, I hope this issue seriously gets discussed in academic world..China Has really got aggressive these days..I am not one who Can literally comment what they should do..it is the people their..but As A common Reader I hope our voice reaches the author and they Kill this Suicidal trend.
bachingchung Authors somehow manages to overcome that problem, in Otherworldly Evil Monarch, the author made an enemy race who are UGLY and DISGUSTING, they use Katanas and words like "Baka".
XD..BUT THE READERS ARE NOT FOOLISH AIN'T THEY? We still got it, RIGHT? If Authors Playing Politics..I hope its Time to Change the Government
True_Seeker Most translators & editors here on Webnovel don't know what consistency & quality are. They keep on changing terms every few chapters & fail to edit even basic spelling mistakes.
I have encountered this nationalistic and racism trend several times already. I stomach it for some time, until I can't anymore.
Take "I'm Really a Superstar" for example. It was so super ultra nationalistic that I eventually dropped it, and it's still one of the more popular novels here in quidian international. I'm not Japanese or Korean, but when the mc starts to trash talk these countries I feel badddddd, and I'm not even the target of those insults ...
MMORPG : Rebith of Legendary Guardian
In here the MC also bullying gamer from Japan and Korea
SweetsTomato Even I would bully those Korean gamers......*sigh. If I have greater skill than them...... They own the competitive market!!
Well it is like All Chinese MC are born to be conquerors and oracles...and they will tend to settling all grudges which will occur in future..like..This guy is a foreigner..he will cause trouble..let me face slap or kill him..problem solved.
This guy...he is a foreigner..hence he is a spy...hence will hurt people..kill. I was recently reading SPARE ME,GREAT LORD...IT IS VERY SAD TO SAY..IT GOT INCLUDED IN THE SHITTY HERD. There is AN ARC of RUIN EXPLORATION..where the cultivators of SACRED LAND OF CHINA AND ALL OVER THE WORLD "TRAMPLE OVER" cultivators of some place called "LAOS"..anyone knows where? And then Next Time when their turn comes, yes SACRED LAND OF CHINA'S...Russia SENDS A BIG 'B' GRADE.JAPAN SENDS ONE 'B' GRADE AND FROM WEST SOME COUNTRY ALSO SENDS ONE...BUT ONLY INDIA WAS FOOLISH ENOUGH TO SEND 12 'C' GRADE BECAUSE THERE WAS NO 'B' GRADE(WHAT THE FUCK ..121 MILLION PEOPLE AND NO 'B' GRADE?)..AND THE CULTIVATORS OF SACRED LAND OF CHINA KILL 10 OUT OF 12 'KILLING CHICKEN TO WARN MONKEYS' AND SURELY ROUTING THEIR NEAREST ENEMY...WOW! THE MC IS SAID TO BE NOT CARING ABOUT SUCH SHIT BUT HE KILLS EVERY 'SPY' WHICH COMES IN HIS WAY.
JunkieOverThe_Moon True! Art is A Bird...will become Phoenix in Free Skies..will remain a Chicken in the cage...eating worms..and maybe degrade further than that
Hoho2000 Its oki..if someone wants to not criticize their country through i feel the calculative and cold methods described are criticism itself..but, webnovels should remain a source of motivation, enjoyment and understanding. If it goes something more than like..half-axs propaganda it does not remain webnovel...it is like Politically/Corporate funded buxlshxt published to creep out normal readers..only fanatics will remain readers os such novels
DaoMasterTianLong Actually it was the normal readers who support this kind of nationalistic web novels before 2008. The writer just wrote what they want. There is only one rule in web novel community: the writer is paid to satisfy the readers. If the readers are tired of these things, the writer would not write that (like what is happening now, the pure nationalism is not welcome anymore).
DaoMasterTianLong Hell is this true??...Now I am scared, I don't want to be called spy and then be fucked over by some pathetic author who still sucks on his pigs tttes. (P.S. I am a D rank Indian..... I am pathetic too)
Hoho2000 It's not present anymore??........ Well the novel "Am I God" will prove you wrong. And even another novel from the same writer "Paradise of Demonic Gods" have some dark skinned people who consummate with animals and savagely kill people. And guess the earliest novel in between them??.. 2016
Nehaust I guess, well the rape of Nanking is really tragic and the Japanese weren't all nice to begin with.

Dude, it's true that the Japs did some pretty horrible things to the chinese, but that's the past. This is the present.
And being a hardcore anime fan, how can i take such blatant insult to the japs , lightly.
In fact, chinese r pretty hypocritical. They speak Ill of japs but even still they watch anime in millions. ( Im not a Jap, tho )
If they hate japs to the core why not just ban all Jap good in their country. Why take the twisted paths. And forever, web novels r a literature. The politicians may write book to spread their fame, but not authors. If they r so bloody patriotic, they shouldn't publishing them in the international market!!!!

Maybe I was a little too hot headed. Web novel, plz don't ban me
JunkieOverThe_Moon it's easy to say that if your ancestors weren't cut open from their genitals to their intestines after being raped. But I guess since you're a hardcore anime fan that absolved them of their past atrocities.

Anime is god!!!!!!!
bachingchung
JunkieOverThe_Moon I was being sarcastic on my 2nd sentence though. Lel.
bachingchung but I was being serious. U can't just mess with anime and Japan as and when u like . Or else u r going to suffer the wraith of all the otakus of the world
bachingchung Ooooo but what if their ancestors had experienced things even worse? Whose more right then?
Theatriks what are you talking about?
JunkieOverThe_Moon the new animes now suck. It's all about fan service and slapstick. They already played themselves, a lot of Otakus turned to a new leaf coz' of the drastic decline in their quality.
bachingchung They flood the market with garbage, hoping one would stick. They still make a lot of money from the pedos and the edgy kids, so it's not reforming any time soon.
bachingchung βit's easy to say that if your ancestors weren't cut open from their genitals to their intestines after being raped.β
I was saying that this is a weak justification.
Theatriks that was less than a hundred years ago. Ww2 heard of it?
Soyboy you read mangas? Try deadtube. Now that's what I want to be animated. Quality content at best. But yeah, nowadays in an age of Quality vs Quantity, it all ends with the one with the word tity.
bachingchung So much gore! Looks interesting.
I used to read a lot of manga/manhua. DICE, Gamer, Tower of God and the like. Started with animes, then mangas, then LNs, then webnovels. The rabbit hole...
bachingchung Are the people that theyβre hating the ones that did it? You canβt hate Jeff Japanguy because his great grandfather was a dick.
UnhingedTaboo Go read it! XD
bachingchung and Theatriks Well buddies! Let's do not concentrate this discussion on a single place..Well History is there! So that we can take a lesson from it and never let it repeat again or make it better! But, History of anything should never be made an excuse to commit propoganda, treachery and mass genocide or Art Butchering. Let's report all the Over the Top Nationlistic Novels here.. 1 by 1
Theatriks you could. Billions of people do it. Blacks still white guilt the Caucasians. Chinese still hates Japan.
DaoMasterTianLong being a nationalist ain't a bad thing to begin with. Idk what's the big deal. Hating your own is an issue, but the opposite is normal, and everyone thinks they are superior or atleast they want to be. Animes always make USA as the final boss. USA always makes it about them. So I don't see why a Chinese novel's Chinese MC won't do the same.
bachingchung Spread the Spirit Brother..let all the other kind of bias be known too.I never said Patriotism is Bad thing...But Read My Title Again
Anybody just kinda think that maybe they just write what they are familiar with?
Author would have to do research and write a proper novel to convey that type of setting and still keep the focus n the characters.
Plus a good portion of web/light novels are transmigration type.The transmigrator is going to miss home! They normally go to "similar" yet alternate world so they know language and need less mcguffins. The authors are usually creative amateurs. How many teeth you want the gift horse to have?
Hard enough to keep plot holes from becoming an abyss without adding a culture you are unfamiliar with and even more so an ancient time in that culture. If I wrote in tsalagi about cherokee setting the novel would be dull with daily life and use 3000 pages for 10 chapters because our word combinations!
Following this, I have been lucky to not stumble on that many blatantly propagandist stories. I don't mind asian-centric theme in a story by an asian author about an asian person plopped into an asian alternate world <_<. There is one that person is reincarnated in an ancient Russian culture and another becomes a viking.
Actually I don't mind their homesickness. As long as I know they are not trying to brainwash me, but only wanting to appeal to their readers, who are supposed to be Chinese and those who can read Chinese, it's okay.
In fact, I appreciate it. Through these novel I learn who they are and what they are about. Though these are fictions, I can still learn something.
It's like finally getting to taste pure Chinese food and finding out its very different from Chinese fusion food I'm used to. Some people will reject it as it didn't suit their taste bud. Some might even feel offended as the food is against their culture or religion.
But those who demanded to be served something that suit their taste is like asking for fusion food. Maybe you could try be a little more understanding of their culture first before taking offense? And if you can't stomach it, leave it alone. There is no need to criticize them for what they are.
Live and let live, is what I always believe in.
