    I think we all have a couple things that we hate that make Asian novels Asian novels.
    now i read mostly CH and KR novels so i don't have that much knowledge on JP novels but I would love to know

    things i hate in novels:
    one of my most hated points is definitely the over the top use of "face" or make "face" as a reason to provoke or kill someone. most often in combination with status like my dad is the clan leader you don't wanna provoke me sh!t.

    second thing is how some novels view the world:
    a lot of game novels have this where someone is in a game and makes millions upon millions where other guild don't even think of any method or only have money the got from a backer
    but also a modern day story where killing(in general) or raping females are like the most normal things in the world .

    i don't hate this in cultivation novels since it a different world but if you try to make this modern day world i find it way to over the top.

    and last is something almost all action novels have is underestimation.
    the protagonist never underestimate anyone but the enemy always when hes near dead like "*stupid face* how can this be!!??? " like are u a idiot...

    well those are my most hated points but here i am still reading the sh!t out of them lol
    hope to hear some point you guys have.

    CN/JP: Raping is not only okay, it is praised and lavished because MC, why not?
    CN loves to drag their work, they type unneccesarily long sentences for that extra word count to money model and it doesn't work for most of then.

    KR: So far I have only read 1 novel that completed, and the ending is horrible. This brings to mind of how KR dramas always start off good and has a good plot but ends with a shitty ending that ruins your entire experience.

    Young Masters even in the modern world.
    They would be despised by everyone if their actions came to light, in novels they don't even try to hide their shamelessness.

    +

    Fillers everywhere, some novels can easily be completed in half of their chapters but the author loves to add useless fillers. (RITF, OEM, TTNH, cough.)

    For JP... the MC and Harem, dense asfck.

    Chinese Novels: Girls from MC harems disappear for hundred of chapters, its like the author had no idea what to do with them so he just ignores their existence.

    JP Novels: Dense, naive protagonist sparing enemy's life, knowing clearly they'll come after him again in the future. Like why?

    KR novels: Never really read much of them, except Everybody else is a returnee and Dungeon Defense. KR novels are pretty good imo

    JP: protagonist archetype
    KR: every novel turns into grinding mmo sooner or later
    CN: qidian, focus on pill concocting in some novels (unless they do it right)

    JP: chuunibyou... Just the whole concept of it is too cringe for me to continue reading (even when its just being played for laughs).
    Chinese: When the protagonist is not only the one character that actually gets fleshed out, but EVERY SINGLE OTHER person (regardless of age/experience/cultivation) is a gibbering idiot.
    KR: The endings....

    I don't like harems not because of today's morals or how it just demotes woman it that from every novel that has a harem just generally irritates me that how impossible they are
    I hate how easily female characters Fall in love with the mc ,even worse than those are dense mcs
    I'm also starting to hate mc who can't just keep his nose out of other people's business

    OP mc's for the sake of just being op (again retarded "authors")
    100000000000 year old virgin mc
    Ice cold "beautys" (Why are they attractive? everything about them is a turn off)
    When it's so obvious that "author" is not making a story but is writing his dream
