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 “it's easy to say that if your ancestors weren't cut open from their genitals to their intestines after being raped.”

      I was saying that this is a weak justification.

        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 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.
