People should understand that authors from China don't have a choice as they have to add nationalism to their works in order for them to earn money as there are many great quality novels in China getting axed because they would sometimes depict the government in a badlight or would secretly vent their frustrations in their works but they would end up getting caught with only a few getting away with it

Many try to avoid sensitive themes, which is why they prefer stories in different worlds, to avoid excessive nationalism, racism, xenophobia, among other things... worse than that, the paying public sometimes demands these things... like sinking Japan... .shows almost every black person as a criminal or hypocrite, highlights the worst side of the USA... makes Chinese people victims of prejudice from foreigners... to avoid this, many prefer to write about the witcher, naruto, one piece , or stories that are known and in other worlds.
man I've read quite a few novels where mc (or rather author) shows undisguised hate to japanese, korean, black people and shows USA and other countries in a bad light then stays there after complaining. I don't remember the name but one novel I've read is where mc gets a system with which he can get stronger through killing and man this mf killed every other person except chinese, and won't leave USA as he doesn't want to kill the chinese people and has black people to hunt.
