I have a family member addicted to these (well, not Chinese...). It's pretty much all 100% slop, the voices, the animation, the script. My head hurts just seeing how it cuts every 5 seconds when I casually see it. The voices are so horribly soulless. The writing is inane and tortuously paced.
But people eat it up. Similar to (and large audience overlap) with people who toss massive money at shitty mobile games.
