Why do all Chinese manhwa seem the same?

Well, maybe it's because of some common art styles and trends in the industry. Not all are the same, but some similarities can make it seem that way.

Maybe it's because there are certain popular tropes and trends that many authors follow. Or it could be that publishers are looking for familiar formulas that they think will sell well.

Often, it's due to limited perspectives and a narrow range of interests in the media. Maybe there's not enough exploration of different angles or underreported stories, leading to a perception of sameness.

Well, it might be because some common tropes and themes are often reused. Like the hero's journey or magical powers.

Well, it's not really true that all have the same tech. Sometimes, limited imagination or a desire to stick to familiar concepts might make it seem so. But there are plenty of fantasy stories with innovative and diverse technological elements.

It might be because many religions address common human concerns and questions about life, morality, and the afterlife, leading to some overlap in themes and stories.

Routine is the main culprit. We often follow the same schedule day in and day out, like getting up at the same time, going to the same work or school, and coming back home in the same way.

It might be related to the cultural influence on the game design. English games, especially those that aim to create a sense of horror or unease, may incorporate certain archetypes that are also found in Chinese ghost stories. These could include things like vengeful spirits, dark and desolate settings, and a sense of impending doom. The combination of these elements can make the game feel like a Chinese ghost story.

It's a common trope to add drama and character development. Without parents, characters often have to face challenges alone and grow stronger.

Definitely not. Manhwa comes from Korea. It has unique features that set it apart from Chinese comic works in terms of art style, storylines, and cultural influences.
