there is always alchemist profession in their world, is drug so important? the mc doesnt have any real bottleneck, he just eat tons of drug to breakthrough.

I hate cn webnovel, their story is always the same, a mortal aspiring to be immortal. TYErannical well to be fair anyone can make a stereotypical claim like this. While Jap MC's often overthink every little thing, sucking the intensive actions and thriller away from the story, but they always manage to fuck things up. Over all jap novels are just plain terrible, the stories are generic and boring and to few jap novels are any good.Ĭhinese MC's sometimes think little and succeed by will power and their perseverance, making the story about an underdog you wish to succeed. Romance is always forced into the story, the MC is always a happy go lucky fool, and the side characters act more like NPC's that can be discarded by the MC and forgotten about easily ( especially the harem girls. the novels feels unbelievably childish, the side characters often do not actually react like real people would, making me have to often times suspend my disbelieve when ever something happens. The worlds of Jap novels are always small and always feels extremely limited because their are always gods and stereotypical 'Demon lord" in it, and because of that most of the mystery's you see in CN novels, like 'is their god' or ' is their a higher plane of existence i can see by becoming stronger', and because of this the world always seem like an ant farm made out of glass, its totally transparent and boring. CN novels are more realistic and gritty while jap novels are always basic and happy go lucky, this contrast makes it more impactful and enjoyable when the CN main characters succeed in doing things while it makes it mundane and boring when the jap MC succeeds in doing anything. GregLuck I've tried to read jap novels but the characters are uninteresting and often take a long time to accomplish anything in their stories. While the novel from europe / us are, you know very variative from the genre and doesn't have something like leveling system, maybe because it's from the fact that 1st world country are indeed living easier. Most novel from both country ARE WISH FULFILLMENT, it's just the 'wish' or the 'dream world' they wanted is different. While chinese novel are more overwhelming, prideful, feeling superior, and the 'alpha' characteristic, is from the fact that chinese is really competitive in EVERY SINGLE THING, and the strong ancient piety they got.īOTH likes to have a numerical / leveling system, is from the effect of game and competitive nature as an asian. I myself didn't like the arrogant nature of most CN MC, and just recently reading CN, mostly because the release rate are totallllyyyy faster, on a different level all together from any Jap Novel.Īnd, maybe you haven't read Overlord, Konosuba, Log Horizon, Mahouka Kouko, Danmachi, Mushoku Tensei, Tate no Yuusha, etc.īeside all that, the character of the MC is deeply affected by the culture of the author's place, most LN/WN from japan have a humble, slow, peace-loving, and slightly 'beta' characteristic, is mostly from the fact that current japan are indeed peaceful, and one of the best living condition in the world. Most people are like that, when something 'alike', they would see the one they see later as the inferior one.

So can I assume you read the Chinese Novel first before you know Japanese Novel.
