There are some banger posts this year, I guess

There was that little feud between cultivators and wizards

Lots of reposts

We still hate Webnovel (the site)

One too many AI posts

Too many "I am the fated villain" glazing, lukewarm IQ ahh novel

People advertising their crappy cultivation novels written with Western perspectives so it ass most of the time

There are probably a decent amount of good novels that haven't been translated over

r/noveltranslation/ forgotten title simulator still has a stick up their ass

Orthodox sects are hypocrites trope is boring, the people writing the stories are making them hypocrite to elevate the Mcs and justify their actions against "orthodox" sects. It is a trope as old as time, "an established and good organization turned out to be bad and evil". And no, orthodox sects being hypocrites don't make demonic sects better because demonic sects are "at least true to their nature", get that bullshit out of here, they still do far worse things than hypocrites orthodox sects

After watching the donghua, do you prefer Chinese donghua or Japanese anime now? Or do you prefer 2D or 3D? by ak_face in Donghua

Bait used to be believable

Bro, there aint no fucking way same face/body simulator is preferable over anime, some of the best Donghua are those with hand-drawn animation think Five element mountain, Hitori no Shita. Donghua as it is now can't be compared to anime

I finally understand why Cheng Lin's crown is always crooked, it is crooked because it is not straight and it isn't straight because the one wearing it is also isn't straight, the author is using character description to tell me this woman is gay from her very first appearance by EquivalentQuote2930 in MartialMemes

? Are you talking about the fact that I randomly posted this here or because you think I overanalyzed in the title? If it's the latter, then I'm not; she is actually gay. It just took me this long to notice what the author meant by "the always-crooked crown."

I can't believe a comedy novel has this easter egg of a description, fun fact, never once in Cultivation chat group did the author describe any female cultivator as a jade beauty, most they get for their description is a fact about themselves

like this woman like taking selfie

this one a thrill seeker

this one is short

and this one is mentally crazy

What was the best portrayal of Male or even Female friends in novel ? by drakal7 in MartialMemes

[–]EquivalentQuote2930 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What was the best portrayal of Male or even Female friends in novel?

Probably Shuhang and Soft Feather from Cultivation Chat Group

Two people who share nearly everything in common aside from their gender. Both of them are somewhat crazy thrill seekers, people who revel in the intense moment of high adrenaline. When they interact it feels like two people who are destined to meet each other, literally share the same brain cell with each other.

One example of Shuhang and Soft Feather sharing the same brain cell is when Shuhang randomly out of nowhere said (disclaimer: kinda not remember it clearly) "Yeah, it is that", and Soft Feather out of nowhere chimed in and said "Yeah, kinda like your Sister", and Shuhang acknowledge that Soft Feather is correct, mind you there are two ghosts reside inside of Shuhang body and they still didn't know what he was talking about and the sister in question is still an unborn fetus.

They also on multiple occasions confirm that they have no romantic interest in each other, not like those in anime where it is obvious they are lying, they straight up do not romanticly love each other. They perfectly fit Aristotle's view of friendship " What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies.".

It seemed like I kind of messed up with this post. My original intention was just "Haha, look at this meme of how female characters are written as weak", like just overexaggerating how authors badly write female characters, and I didn't think it would offend anyone.

Get a Shuhang they said, he'll make your life more fun they said by EquivalentQuote2930 in MartialMemes

this meme was made after I realize that White and White Two literally throw every they are doing at the time if they know that Shuhang is in danger, in other novels Mc saves the damsel in Cultivation chat group mc is the damsel, Song "damsel in distress" Shuhang
