Do any foreigners like Chinese fantasy (martial arts, immortal cultivation, supernatural powers) online novels?

Chinese online novels are very attractive to young people. In recent years, many Chinese online novels have been made into TV series and animations, and a large number of users have paid for them. Will people in other countries also be interested in and pay for them?

Yeah, I've been reading "The amazing son in law" by Lord Leaf since covid, on about chapter 5,500 or so.
The others can be a bit hit and miss but there isn't anything else like them. Basically like violent mystical soap operas with way out there humour that go on for a long time. Not easy to find good translations though and British people don't like paying for anything.

Plus here's a few bits that aren't okay to Brits.
In TASIL, the hero tortures a paedophile and cuts off his ears then gets a prostitute to deliver them to his family in an empty fag packet, that's fine over here. But he also beats up women if they're selfish, most gays in Chinese novels are rapists and they can be a touch racist, those really aren't okay to a British audience.
The good guy literally owns a dogfighting business 🤣, there's nothing else quite like Chinese e-books.

Define "foreigners." Do you mean people not native to the UK or people who aren't Chibese?
