Why are CN readers so bloodthirsty?

Well, I'm not from China and after reading 4-5 repeats of the same asshole coming back to cause trouble for the MC, I'm hoping the other guy gets offed finally too. How would you explain that? I never met or read any Chinese Emperor or any of the Chinese "Classics" but I'm equally blood thirsty. Subluminal messaging maybe?
Or just simply a super annoying mook villain that should have been offed long ago if not for plot.... Even US law allows for killing in self defence you know and if someone had come after you with murder in mind, the most logical thing would be to put him underground if the cops can't get him to stop. Not let him go to for another try.

I for one am guilty of that but I have stopped doing it. Now when I read a novel I just read it no more emotional attachments or feelings involved if the story doesn't pan out according to the synopsis or if the mc begins to act out of character I simply abandon it and then try to look for another one to read

Your question is wrong
Xianxia, wuxia, etc are always set in a war ridden world, where there is no "universal human right", where strength and skills are worth more than being lawful.
it's pretty impossible to picture a cultivation world with democratic rules and liberal views as our world. imagine a cop trying to arrest a thief only to find out he's stronger than even the strongest official in gov, for sure the cop would just run rather than waste his life for useless justice.
now why the readers tend to be indifferent to genocide ?
If you take cultivation novels as a chemistry exam, you wouldn't give physics answers would you?, And your mind will be in the chemistry mode.
and the authors tend to overlook deaths by euphemising all atrocities. It's the same way a butcher house is seen normal and not a "murderous demon lorde with evil cultivators taking life's".
