Maybe expecting comicpeople to get Jade Emperor's clothes right is too much of an ask, come to think of it, after all, they depict Americans as incredibly fit and beautiful people who only wear tights.
A lot of Chinese writers tend to write Sarutobi Hiruzen as an average Chinese leader, you know, formerly competent now incompetent, corrupt surrounded by other corrupt, valuing familial ties over greater good... but if you take into consideration of how accepting of NTR Japanese culture and leadership is, this all falls apart, because often "Chinese Hiruzen" wants his son to become Hokage, but this proves false.
The Chinese translation for "crack fic" is "乐子文", but it seems like people don't really use the term "crack fic" anymore, and the meaning also changed over time
Do you think if a Biigoh isekaied to a regular Japan, without any cheats or whatever, he'd just copypasta "5 Centimeters Per Second," "A Certain Magical Index," "The Garden of Words," "Sword Art Online"... and act like he's a creative light novelist?
They justify the excessive corruption within all levels of society with the idiom "a water too clear has no fish" as if to say that corruption is necessary for society, for life, or basic function, but I don't know about this, man, this sounds like an excuse to keep doing bad stuff
Lmao this simultaneous isekai story, you know how there's a wave of Black Myth MCs in this genre a year back, right, so imagine this
"... the new Biigoh who joined the group is a monkey who is the younger brother of the Destined Monkey from the world of Black Myth: Wukong, so we abbreviate and title him as 'Black Monkey Biigoh', hehe"
Apparently, the "朋友是一个坚韧不拔的纪录片" meme is one of those bad literal translations, which make no sense in Chinese, but I guess that's what makes it spread more in the non-Chinese community, somehow, but the actual meaning is something like "Friends, the show, is a documentary of life in Hong Kong", puzzling even in English?
You know, it really puzzled me, how this passed Marvel/Disney internal/producers/etc., like, how could they turn the Jade Emperor in MCU into a Japanese samurai? It's like they did it to purposefully upset two entire audiences...
White Lotus in ATLA never seemed to make any sense, historically it is a rebellious organization, this is true, but it is also a cult, and it isn't one of those traditional cults, it's one of those folk cults, which fuses the three main religions in China; so practitioners, in fantasy, should use daoist magic, buddhist magic, and stuff, like very spiritual and all, not this secret organization of spies and shit
These apocalypse stories are so weird; like the neighbors would sell themselves for a piece of bread, a bottle of water, but it's like, five hundred chapters into the story, you see hundreds of thousands of people who somehow have survived up to that point, and it's like, yes, they do get depicted like ragged vagabonds, but how do they survive without even water
In Cantonese, "9527" sounds similar to "狗屎" (gǒu shǐ), meaning "dog shit," hence its association with worthlessness or being a nobody. It became a widely recognized shorthand in Chinese internet culture for the number of a protagonist.
Actually, Severus Snape would be good too, and there isn't much to write about during his schooling days, so he could be a tool character to share magic with the others
It would have been better if the author used Naraku instead of Gaston, I mean, like, Belle isn't that interesting and the Beast doesn't seem like he deserves NTR, but Inuyasha on the other hand...
苏荃 (Su Quan) in The Deer and Cauldron is actually inspired by 苏麻喇姑 (Sumalagu)... I never expected this, but looking into it, Jin Yong likes to use actual real world people as inspiration for characters, such as 鸠摩罗什 (Kumārajīva) inspired Jiumozhi in Demigods and Semidevils, but some characters ruin the reputation of their inspiration, like Yin Zhiping in Return of Condor Heroes, which got changed
This "simultaneous isekai as failed losers who didn't get the girl" story is kind of good; MC starts off as Song Qingshu, Riser Phenex, and Gaston during Disney French Revolution (LMAO). Originally, I was going to praise it for being different, none of that Bleach/Naruto/OnePiece shit, but then the fourth guy was Obito...
