In terms of typical sci-fi/fantasy/realworld fiction, I spent a while trying to find half-decent novels or short stories from Chinese authors (English translation) or Chinese American authors only to be horribly disappointed with what was out there, which caught me by surprise. After my 5th DNF, Im sorry to admit that I gave up. I’m sure there is a lot of great Chinese literature that just hasn’t been translated to English yet. But what has, is just tiresome, flat or objectively bad.
