I am a Chinese Canadian and from my knowledge, past experiences, and my parents behavior, I can confidently tell you that many(Not ALL but many)Chinese people(usually from China or older gen) follow stereotypes and are a bit xenophobia(Like ik my parents are def xenophobic to people of colour, unfortuently...) maybe even a bit racist(lets not group everyone together but this is the truth). Some Chinese people are a bit cultural and expect certain things from how a person looks and acts and like to categorize things. I feel like their mentality and way of thinking is a bit, conservative. And yea, I kinda agree with you about how this manhua and many others prioritize money and influence. I think it goes hand in hand with how stereotypical asian parents are strict about grades and studying. It's all about getting into a good school, good job, having a good rep, making that dough, and yk surviving while making a living. But at the end of the day most parents just wants their children to do good. And like, why do all of them have so many chapters and similar art lmao, oh welp hope that answers ur question. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
These are "shitty stories" written by authors who make cannon fodder charecters and su Luxia is correcting this very notion that these stories represent the Chinese writers
I don't think you need to mention chinese only. Actually money and influence is important to all culture. Even western, eastern, asian, they all struggle with this thing. I'm a literature student. I learn about victorian and before ww1 society, I'm from asian and so I learn asian history and their society, and because of that, what I see was that all society have the same issue. It's just how and what method they portrayed it was different than each other. Besides, now manhwa has a lot of the same storyline because they follow popular trend so that's why there's a lot of work that has the same storyline
Okay thanks for your reply, I kinda knew all stories look alike cause its trendy this days but yeah you're right all society is made by humans and humans are all basically the same ^^'
Your comment is helping me a lot thank you soooo much ! I'm French so I'm used to seek behind stereotypes (cause there's a lot on us and I hate to judge by looks) I get the idea of parents wanting the best for their children I heard about it a lot on social media
It's totally a French thing to complain about everything and anything, of course it isn't harmless but it helps to re think about how things are made. That's why for me it's so strange that those ideas don't change in stories I've been reading for years (I've counted that would be something about 7 or 8 years so quite a time I guess)
Anyway thanks again (⌒▽⌒)
Sorry I didn't mean to attack your culture, what I wanted to say was that the authors who write plotless and unstructured stories are the ones Luxia is targeting. I love some of the manhuas out thier like shen yi di nu. I really apologise for being insensitive
Well.. okay here’s my thoughts : this is not the first manhua I’ve read. And I’ve seen something coming back every time like if it was a skill set : is money and influence that much important in China ?
Like in all the story I’ve read there is no one, not a single character just minding their own business?! All women are written as venal and all men as corrupt and full of shit.. only the heroes are virtuous wtf
I know this is a fiction which means that it’s absolutely doesn’t picture reality etc but even stereotypes have to start somewhere so the story must have been based on something right ?
I have no knowledge whatsoever about Chinese society (haven’t travel there yet) so the only thing I know is from those stories :x
