Anyone mind explaining why the "Great" chinese novels are all shonen shit? Romance of the three kingdoms is literally dynasty warriors, and the Monkey King isn't far removed in genre, content and tone from Dragon Ball. Monkey King in particular is a shonen anime, he fights a different demon every chapter and gets a new power up, weapon or ability, and things keep escalating until he fights god himself (Buddha). It's no different to Persona or Final Fantasy in its power creep.

The Chinese are the people that kept the Transformers and Fast and Furious franchises in theatres for so long. So I'm starting to think that whole empire has congenital shit taste.
