All of the Chinese manhuas i've encountered were all about revenge they must be hiding deep rooted anger and drawing and writing are their outlets.
The Count of Monte Cristo about a successful revenge has a more clear narrative, consistency and a cathartic ending while these manhuas/novels are often losing their actual goal and the plot becomes so convoluted.
Take for example, MC with the help of ML managed to punish or kill evil step-half-sister and ex-fiance after 100-200 chapters but then more jealous bitches and obessive assholes show up and it becomes a dark action conspiracy...
If they really have anger, they wouldn't write trash stories about the rich priveledge powerful in a hellish telenovela/soao opera world (Dynasty). They put the MC/FL always in massive pain and constant danger while the ML is practically a invincible half-god who gets away with everything especially his childish attitude, abuses and rape towards the FL.
I like to recommend: "Peerless Alchemist" and "Kingdom Of The Queen"
In Youtube: Telenovelas are Hell
Why do so many female authors from China tell trashy hellish telenovela stories about virtuous super pretty wronged (actual priveledged) FLs that still gets abused or mistreated by the superior super rich desirable MLs and almost all other women characters want him to the point that they would never harm him and get super jealous evil towards the MC who is the most fairest + beautiful of them all... And why are the parents of the MC especially the father so dumb and incompetent???
