Nah, man. Play it. It's is extremely JRPG if you are using JRPG as a sub genre and not country of origin. The level design, the menu system, the spells, even the OST and structure of the game is a JRPG. It has more in common with JRPGs than with the rest of them. Even item placement, itemization and the systems beneath building are more JRPG with kinda SRPG depth like Unicorn Overlord, it doesn't need to be anime and have a Japanese dub to be a JRPG which is all it is lacking. 

If it walks like a duck, swims like a duck, quacks like a duck... ... It's a duck :P

Honestly I don't see the harm calling it a JRPG.
It feels like one, that's honestly all that matters.
If a chinese dev makes a rpg that plays like a wrpg, calling it a wrpg isn't a issue for me either (even if its not made in the west).

Exactly.
