    Killing and Raping is very normal in current reality, you live in a developed country , you are really the minority in this world top 10%.
    You live a sheltered life.
    In fact there's more killing and raping nowdays , because weapons/drugs are more efficient.
    In medieval warfare , you'd get wounded rarely killed.
    WW2 alone probably had more casulties and raped people than all of history before it.

    Enemies are usually aristocratic kids who have never been challenged, however if MC faces against someone who isn't aristocracy raised on potions ect, there's usually mutual respect to a degree.
    The attitude of the opponents goes hand in hand with the setting. It's more attractive when MC finally gets to fight someone with half a brain.

    I hate repetition in oriental novels, they seem to drill the same points over and over again until you puke.

    well maby, even if its true u should also expect nobles have a better brain in the novels if they grew up with all sorts of learning and knowledge but still almost all young masters are as dumb as a brick.
    so u should expect some smart ideas from them tbh.

    Many novels skip the most interesting social interactions, just because they are harder to write good. Often you'll just get a small timeskip and the narrator will tell you how the situation ended.

    Also after ~150 chapters many novels make the MC to a side character for a long time; he barely gets screentime for a while.

    Tournament arcs often spend too much time (for my taste) on stuff like:
    Random Super Awesome Powerful Guy #1 vs. Random Super Awesome Powerful Guy #3,
    Random Super Awesome Powerful Guy #3 vs. Random Super Awesome Powerful Girl #7,
    Random Super Awesome Powerful Guy #84 vs. Random Guy #5
    Super Awesome Powerful Love Interest #2 vs. Random Super Awesome Powerful Horny & Jealous Guy #1
    etc.

    Somehow I am just not that interested in all those unimportant characters. I mostly want to read from the MCs PoV, but when - for whatever reason - I ever start to care about some random PoV.... I can bet all my money on the fact that the character won't get any screentime from now on... And the MC won't get his screentime, too... Probably some background plot developement will start. (random young masters faters sworn brother is unsatisfied that MC didn't give up some random hot girl who smiled while standing next to the MC... and he even courted death by defending himself from weaponized attacks on his vitals and accidently broke said young masters pinky fingernail)

    Oh... and things like:

    MC uses kick.
    2 paragraphes why only MC can use kick in this one situation
    3 random discussions which would probably take longer than the whole fight
    MC misses kick
    Opponent is startled
    Everybody else is shocked
    MC waits to let opponent recover to start 1-2 lines of trashtalk
    .....
    .....
    MC uses kick with special technique
    BOOM!
    3 paragraphs telling me why that kick was special even though I should know it, since I read the novel up to this point... but maybe I forgot since the last chapter where it was repeated 3 times....

    Edit: My first novels were LMS (kr) and ISSTH (CN)... so I absolutely hate MCs who don't appropriately (= always) loot their fallen enemies.

    Amnesia I despise that shit mechanic. Even though my favorite handheld jrpg Radiant Historia uses it. I still hate that lame memory loss crap.

    Stupid characters

    I get it if people hate harem because the characters are forgotten and whatnot but if u hate harem just because its not realistic and whatever you are dumb. It has existed for so long and generally acceptable to said era ( not sure about now ) . anyway,

    JP : Dumb mc , beta shit , blushing uncontrollably , too much filler / slice of life / fluff shit . I like their side characters development tho , rarely if ever side charas got forgotten.
    CN : Copy pasta young master , 0 side character development most of the time ,too much info dump sometimes , overstayed its welcome ( too long sometimes). Power level is really great in CN and the fight is great too
    KR : Money grubber , self centered shit , being OP the fastest out of all 3. I like KR pacing the most , almost no filler and the chapter count is the best out of 3

    Then you would probably hate chinese culture. "Face" is a very important factor within it so it can't be ignored.

    Personaly I don't like supposidly strong female characters happily agree to participate in harem of some asshole. Even if they love them, why they don't compete and all agree to share? It's not within women psychology at all. That makes those characters look artificial.

    I hate it when the story has a genre I dislike, but then I don't read the novel and don't complain about it~

    >.>
    <.<

    Well, I barely read anything these days, so that's about as much as I can hate... >.>

    ALL: Harems
    JP: Japan Nationalism, especially how bringing Japanese culture and cooking is gods gift to other world. I love isekai novels and bringing technology and culture to other worlds, just hate the nationalism.
    CH: How MC goes from humble person to being an arrogant dick.

    Chinese~ rape

    Japanese~ overuse/mention of tsukkomi
    Korean. Plus that laziness in characters who don’t do anything when it’s a small issue and wait until it turns into something major before they do something. Idiots~

    Korean~ hmm can’t think of anything specific. The mc’s character/personality perhaps. They can be selfish self absorbed cunts.

    For all three I hate harems that are just stupid. I’m not a big fan of harem but I can accept it if it’s written well and the numbers are reasonable. But it’s just ridiculous when every single girl gets added. Or when the mc says he likes 1 girl throughout the novel. But then towards the end out of nowhere he’s like I’ll accept you all. That’s fucking retarded!

    Almost no normal MC. Either too arrogant or too dumb or too dense, herbivores, and dense, seeking problem with young master, etc etc..
