Nah.

Saying we should get used to racism is what’s crazy

That's not true, I've read many Chinese novels in which patriotism and racism are kept to a minimum, even if still present, they are so minimal that you won't find them in most chapters, and here we already have in the first chapter that the MC will do anything for mony exept to kill an Asian.

did you Forget Reverend Insanity and why it was banned?

I didn't read it. Why was it banned?

due to the dark contents deemed dangerous literature to Chinese netizens, and the author criticising of the system and government,

It was banned because the author supposedly offended the Chinese government. But you completely missed the rest of my statement, in which I said that there are Chinese novels in which patriotism and racism are at a minimal level, to the point where you won't find it in most chapters, while here it is in virtually every one of them.

maybe there is like an ESG rating system? just like blackrock does have one

So, only 5 star comments are allowed, according to your logic.

I didn’t say that. What I’m saying is that people need to stop reading Eastern novels and then leaving negative reviews just because they contain nationalism or racism, which you should expect 9 out of 10 times. Critiques should focus on things like world-building, story, and characters—not personal worldviews. For example, if I read a novel that glorifies NTR, I wouldn't give it 1 star just for that alone not that I would read something like that. I'd only rate it low if the story itself was bad or if racism was present in every chapter.

Your tolerant attitude is dangerous. Although it won't happen, but if you meet Chinese people, will you also think it's normal if they spout these kind of racist things? I am no critic, but critics should focus on every aspect. And Again as a non-critic, I don't have to worry about this aspect too. I can just 1-star if I didn't like it. And you gave it 5-star, so you apparently think that racism is fine. I mean, you could give it 4-stars but no, you have to go ahead and say that this is perfect. Which means I can also 1-star since I didn't like it.

I’m not tolerant of racism; I think it’s dumb. Let me give you an example: if I were talking with hundreds of Chinese people who are all racist, I’d eventually see their racism as something to be expected and find a way to accept it since I can't change their views. This is the same situation we’re discussing right now. As the saying goes, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." If you still feel triggered by occasional racism, which is barely present, don’t read these kinds of novels; it’s like putting your head in a wall and then complaining about it.

I think it's dumb when critics don't take into account all the aspects. You gave this novel 5 stars means you think it's perfect and racism is fine. End of discussion.

I didn’t rate this novel 5 stars because I thought it was good; in fact, I dropped it. I only gave it 5 stars because many people rated it low solely due to the racism in it. People often confuse a good story with a political viewpoint. For example, although I dislike gay people, that doesn’t mean I’d leave a 1-star review for every novel featuring gay characters; if it feels overwhelming, I’d simply choose not to read those books. Also, I just clearly stated that I don’t like racism—did you even read my message? Why are you putting words in my mouth? Are you really this immature?

Since you can give 5 star review based on other's opinion, what wrong with people giving 1 star reviews based on their own opinion? Wow, so you first called yourself a critic, then said that one mustn't focus on racism when dealing with chinese novels, and gave a 5 star review inspite of racism, just cuz others gave 1 star reviews. You're a contradiction dude. Stop calling others immature because you can't deal with your own immaturity.

I almost got an aneurysm from this can you retype it again?

I see, playing dumb when you have no counter arguments.

no like I literally could not read that not to be mean or anything I am willing to have a respectful argument with but I literally cannot for the life of me understand what you said can you type it again?

I'm sure you can read this just fine, so stop playing dumb. Since you can give 5 star review based on other's opinion, what wrong with people giving 1 star reviews based on their own opinion?

I only gave it 5 stars because I felt it was unfair that it was rated so low for something that shouldn't affect the quality of a novel. For example, a novel can contain racist elements if they fit the story and don’t feel forced. Take a historical story set in the 1800s; it wouldn’t make sense for it to be all sunshine and rainbows. Additionally, if the racism doesn’t impact the overall quality of the novel and isn’t too frequent, it shouldn’t necessarily warrant a low rating. I’ve encountered a few novels that disrespect my culture, and while I didn’t like those aspects, I didn’t drop the novel because it was a one-time thing and didn’t significantly affect its overall quality. If a story stays committed to being entertaining, that’s what matters most also why are you so mad?
