Why are all manhua's about "CEOs" or "Daddies"

[Hootanic]

I'm legit trying to understand this...it seems that all the Chinese manhua's are about CEOs, Daddies, or some combination thereof. Is this all Xi let's his people write about?

It’s called copying from the popular it’s why their so boring and bad

Same, I just can't figure it out. Why would you post this on General when the Manga forum is more appropriate?

🤔

@sterven sorry, this is like the second time I posted here. I wasn't discussing any manga specifically, just a concept in general, hence where I posted. I guess the mods can move it or I can repost the topic.

@Halo thanks! That makes sense, since a lot of these are like fantasies where a "Prince Charming" analogue saves a woman from her circumstances

 

[DANDAN_THE_DANDAN]

It's the Chinese equavalent of being isekai'd into a slow life for Japan and trashy power fantasy for Western audience

 

[bigtiddyoneesan]

What's the Japanese equivalent of superhero movies, i.e. the Avengers?

 

[LightskinNibbaJuice]

@bigtiddyoneesan The S class Hero's Squad lol. The Knight, The Mage, The Tank, The Assassin and the Healer. The most cliche of cliches.

 

[krossite]

@DANDAN_THE_DANDAN I'd say it's more like western's trashy romance novels,since those also often have male leads in position of power from their money.

@bigtiddyoneesan If it's equivalent as in "group of evil fighing team", that'd be those sentai series like Power Ranger, amd if it's just "heroes fighting villains" in general, that'd be Kamen Riders and Ultramans series.

I don´t want to brutally shit on the people making this stuff but when you see daddy, yaoi, and for some weird ass reason zombie evolution manhua it might just start to get a liiiittle bland maybe perhaps

 

[Kimmm3618]

Cause the chinese know us westerners detest it but cant help but real it till the end.

Tbh i saw more of the immortal god heaven divine super cultivator reincarnation thingy more than the CEO or daddy ones, but still the ceo/daddy is a lot out there

 

[aloysiusks]

i thought manhua is more about cultivation

 

[Halo]

Cultivation = shounen / seinen
CEO prince = shoujo / josei

 

[Plykiya]

ceo daddy please save me from poverty with your muscular wallet and lavish lifestyle

 

[Halo]

Spoiler

Found @Plykiya's endgame: https://youtu.be/d_AP3SGMxxM

Height: 6′ 5″

 

[Richman]

Plykiya is exactly one head shorter than me lmao.

 

[Plykiya]

@Richman My friends IRL are about your height and I told them I have a surefire way to win in a fight against them

I just need to stand directly under their chin and then jump as hard as I can. It would likely give them a concussion and put me in a coma so they can do whatever they want with my unconscious body
