I may be wrong but Wukong itself looks a Souls knock-off, so I don't see the problem.

I think the cultural theme of the game is more reason for the "anger" than the gameplay formula.

Its based on the most famous Chinese mythological story / fairytale about the Monkey King Wukong.

I have not deep dived into it, but I think it's a treasured and well known story in China, and I assume a lot of Chinese people are proud of their mythology being a successful story outside of China as well.

Just like Dragon Ball is based on that myth, no?
