Hi! I'm reading Chinese BG novels and even the ones by authors with a good reputation/popularity have this melodrama issue. Overuse of tropes. Supporting cast of female characters are all jealous or stupid. Etc.
The obvious conclusion must be it is the norms of this genre and that readers prefer it this way.
