Chinese novels are like marriage

They're a lifelong commitment.

Spoiler

I divorced from them though. Now I have a compulsive fright when I check the chapter count.

 

They are attractive at first but after a year you want to try something else?

 

you want to enjoy a lot of them?

 

Not CN, mainly xianxia and xuanhuan. Well, depends on the author.

 

Kinda.

If it was just that they're long, it would be fine. But after a few hundred chapters, they all look the same.

Also, 1/3 of the chapters are repetitive things only present for the character count.

 

too many novels go on for two thousand chapters repeating the arcs over and over with slightly different names

 

Cant decide if the word count payment system works for the better or the worse.

 

Chinese novels have a divorce rate of 50 percent. Because they suck.

 

Once the honeymoon fase is over you start to see that it's very repetitive?

 

They both start out great, but turn bad after a few years. The longer they are, they higher the chances of becoming crap. Only a few are able to stand to the pass of time and be as great in their end as they were in their beginning.
Actually, your posted made me think of Drug Candy and how their marriage was all cute in the beginning and turned to shit after some time, so yeah, they are similar.

 

If that so, i think im enggaged to iisth...
Its the only novel that i would cling to...
No cultivation repetition...
Minimal plot repeat.
I think the author put some thoughts into the plot before writing them.. rarely any fillers..

 

if Chinese novel is like marriage.
then NUF is like Match maker agency

 

matrimonial website?
edit:better yet blind dating website

 

It's funny, cause you guys are saying all this and will probably go read a VM once a new chapter comes out. I'll be honest with myself thou, they can be a bit repetitive, but rarely ever do I notice this repetitiveness. Most times when i drop a novel it is due to a development I don't like or reveal of MC's character I don't like.

I actually find the ceaseless front of cultivation entertaining somewhat, as far as the author doesn't just for "he cultivated for a decade, level up, for a century , level up"

 

At least you don't have to pay alimony..

 

Haha, idk, I used to love JP romance and fantasy novels.

Now they're so one dimensional I don't even need to read the whole book to know how things end, and who ends up with who.

At least in CN novels I always get a rush out of reading the fight scenes.

 

That's the reason dating exist to see if you are compatible with your partner. If you are not than you can break up...saves the hassle of divorce.

 

Chinese novels are like marriage.
They are one foot in the grave.
When you divorce you lose out more.
There's a lot of them.

 

You at least don't need to worry about them taking 1/2 your stuff and the kids when they leave!!

WN/LN's are like marriage. At the start they're fresh and something a little exotic and you feel really good about it. You ask yourself how you didn't get involved with this sooner. But after a while, you begin to either dabble with your ex (anime, manga, etc.) again or go in search of new side-partners even though you know it might go horribly wrong (originals).

You know there is some really attractive alternatives out there to your current situation (published novels) but there's so much out there you don't really know where to go besides your few old favourites that you've already spent too long with.

At the end of the day, you conclude that WN/LN's aren't all that bad. There's probably something better out there, but at least with your current situation, you kinda know what you're going to get. You know that although most days will be the same, occasionally something different will come along which will reinforce your idea that ultimately, your decision wasn't that terrible. You can keep something else on the side too, WN/LN's won't mind.
