Yellowface, R.F. Kuang's Background, & Patterns in Her Books

Let's talk about Yellowface, the latest book from R.F. Kuang. This is a Yellowface book dicussion, but also a discussion of R.F. Kuangs history, and patterns I see in her other books (Babel and the Poppy War Trilogy). Is Yellowface pretentious, or does it deliver pointed social commentary? What are the problems with RF Kuangs books? Let's discuss!
