I couldn't really get into the web novels myself. I struggled through MDZS and the plot was just all over the place and the translation was... rough. Watching the live action is easier and more enjoyable for me, but there are definitely things that I dislike about the genre in general. Maybe it's just not for you?

But seriously, if you're the secret-maker who keeps hating on Word of Honor and misrepresenting stuff that happens so you can cite it as reasons for why you dislike it... that's not necessary. You're free to hate it, there's no shame is not liking even popular media. But no need to grasp at straws, eh?

I find watching the shows easier as I tend to find a lot of the translations to be a bit clunky to read, which I presume is more about how hard it is to translate something in an engaging way rather than the story being shit.

As it is I haven't gotten along with all of them, I personally haven't liked any of MXTX's work, either written or the visual adaptations, and she's very highly rated. But just because something is popular doesn't mean that we will personally engage with it. It happens. Move on and find something else.

I find this too. I really like the shows, but the translations are labours of love and while I appreciate their existence, I find them really difficult to enjoy.

I tend to read them after I've watched a show as more of a 'lets see how the story differs' or to get an explanation as to some plot-bits the shows might have left out/fumbled on. Because as stories for me... yeah I can't really get into them, but reading them as like a text-book for the shows? Much easier for me to get through them.

Again: not on the OG authors but on how hard translating is.

[sabotabby]

Yeah, same.

I read a lot of webnovels and they can be pretty hit-and-miss (as is the case with all media)but I have found quite a few that I really liked. I can't really get into dramas because I just can't tell people apart easily (happens with western shows and movies as well but it gets even harder if everyone has similar hair colours etc).
But yeah, some things just aren't for you. I tend to either hate or get bored with most TV shows no matter the country of origin.

*shrug*

Maybe the tropes in danmei stories just aren't for you. You tried them, they didn't click for you, can't be fairer than that.
