Day 7: book meme
Nov. 7th, 2010 07:45 pmDay 07 – Least favorite plot device employed by way too many books you actually enjoyed otherwise

No more Asian monks or faux-Asian monks. Definitely no more non-Asian Asian-esque monks. Definitely definitely no more kung-fu monks. Especially if they're cryptic.
The only viable excuse is if the story's actually set in China. For instance, they don't bother me in Xi You Ji or Shui Hu Zuan. ...And for some reason, evil kung-fu Catholic monks somehow don't bother me, but that's a discussion for tv series, so whatever.
