Why do more and more foreigners in Europe and the United States like to read QIDIAN novels now?
I have read a novel translations section (for foreign online literature enthusiasts) where a foreigner commented on Chinese online literature, saying that there are still some wild and masculine male characters in Chinese online literature, such as Chad style characters or ancient Greek classical heroes.
They are cruel, lecherous, and do not hide their desires. They fight with force, but bravely move forward and fight against the enemy, completely opposite to the eunuch men in Japanese online literature.
This type of character is rare in Western literature nowadays, because of political correctness such as the equal rights movement. Such male traits are seen as toxic masculinity, just like after the Me Too movement, even some women complained that the new generation of men were submissive and not as daring to approach and pursue women as before.
So foreigners often complain that Chinese online articles are too angry, that there are too many stallions, that there are strong racist, nationalistic and xenophobic feelings, and that most of them are rubbish. However, because of a small number of boutiques, various novel points, and interesting world settings, they still have to watch while cursing.
