I don’t know why bold weight works so badly with Chinese characters, to the point where complex ones can become hardly readable... I realised recently that I needed to use another font rather than change the font weight of the words I’m studying.

Here is an example of an Anki card with highlighted words in bold (using font-weight: bold in css) VS using a bold font (in this case, Google Font Noto Sans Simplified Chinese bold).

A sentence in Chinese with highlighted words in red. The font is bold, but some strokes are so thick, the character becomes harder to read and it gives an overall messy impression.
Same sentence as previous picture, but the highlighted words are now in a much regular shape, are easy to read while still being in bold.
