Discussion CN, JP, KR novels

I'm just gonna ask a simple question.
What are you're views on each of them? Your personal views on those following three in the title.

Ps. I didn't include Singaporean, Filipino, etc novels cause they're not really... How should I say this... Released In NU that much? I'm not saying they're not good, it's just that there's not much of them as of now.
Pps. If you're gonna ask "why aren't you including English novels?" Why would translators translate English to English?

 

cos translators gotta translate

 

...no

 

lets be real, some of the stories i read on rrl need a translator

 

JPN: For those new to translated novels.
CN: For those tired of wimpy JP MC's novels.
KRN: For those tired of arrogant CN MC;s novels.

 

Jp Mostly retarded though some good kingdom building and porn is present
Chinese- Very good kingdom building in some places but mostly retarded pure power climb cuz I don t wanna be average
Though there are some gems that manage to be somethning more. Porn rather weak.
Korean- So far have not seen total trash but also no notable porn nor good kingdom building except moonlight sculptor.

 

id phrase it more like
JPN: if you like spineless lolicons(filthy pedo's...but they prefer the term lolicon)
CN:if you like ruthless borderline rapists
KRN:If you like penny pinching psychos

 

For me (personally only, I don't know what other people think)
JPN: for those who discovered translated web novels because of anime/manga adaptations
CN: for those who got tired of wimpy JP MCs
KR: I don't know because I haven't read any

... but JP seems to have better female protags. The CN novels with female protags are overrun with 100s of the "Reincarnated Beautiful Cunning OP Consort and Her Black Bellied Prince" type of novels.

 

What if you want to read about ruthless loli pinchers?

 

pff its so easy, just find an author who lives in korea but has japanese and chinese parents!

 

JP Novel : mostly the MC is to naive and op so it's hard for me to enjoy it, but it's good to read for change of feel.

CN Novel : to many repeated plot so mostly I can guess where the story is going but they have much more variety Novel.

KR Novel : mostly they don't have to much chapter but they are good quality so far for me but there is few that they finished story in a rush so the quality is dropped.

Over all I give KR the champion CN runner up and JP the last place.
That's all my view base on my tastes.

 

Maybe they'll grind a tsundere cultivation cheat though.

 

CN : killing people here and there
JP : how to win without killing people
KR : how to get money while killing people

 

i-its not like i care if they steal my cultivation cheat or anything!

 

For me, JPN is something I can't relate to at all. Isekai, lolis, beta MCs, apologetic gods, even truck san- nothing catches my interest. I guess I do not belong to the target audience.

CNs represent my basest desires... what I might be tempted to do in a world where I am above the law. All that killing, raping, pillaging gets on my nerves, though.

KRN, I can relate to the most. Though, the almost-asexual, grinding-loving MC is not exactly my ideal.

 

In JP novels that usually involve reincarnation most male MC's somehow gets a lot power come to them at next to nothing with a harem option.
In CN novels the MC somehow always gets a lucky encounter with some mystic treasure that makes them overpowered at a low price with a harem option.
In KR novels the MC somehow get a lucky break that get them the ability to level grind their way into op with a harem option that they deny that is a harem option.

 

For female MC's it goes like this
JP: Have to prove themselves somehow or it a gender bender version of a former male.
CN: Somehow a strong MC that gets conquer by some arrogant male that somehow stronger and better.
KR: Never seen any so far so I can't make any guess for them.

 

My personal opinion is that it is pointless to try and reduce a whole country/language's output of novels into general statements like most of what I see here.
Sure you can compare the popular trends within specific genres on qidian, munpia and syosetu with each other but there are so many other works not getting translated and even among what is translated there are a fair number of exceptions from the norm(for translations).

 

JP: Large variety, a lot of beta MCs
CN: Less variety, more alpha MCs
KR: Least variety, more middle ground MCs

And you need to translate english novels to english. There is Canadian English, British English, American English, Austrailian English and etc. You know translate the color to colour, armor to armour

 

JP: naive dense mc, harem/reverse harem, bland personality, won't kill because I'm JP :| obligatory cooking chapter (JP food is the best)
CN: ruthless emo mc, always destroy here and there, poor passerby and unlucky people who get robbed from mc, bland harem :|
KR: plot is only interesting at first, in the middle of arc become bland, repetitive arc, money grubber :|
