One time I read a parody of those cringy alpha romance stories on Wattpad, and the LI called the MC babygorilla.

It’s worrisome that mafia stories are hitting Episode Originals now when there are 13-year-olds who read Episode. (Yes, I’m reading one right now to gem farm.) So, without further ado: A mafia story isn’t a mafia story without…INFECTING THE EPISODE ORIGINAL SHELVES.
The dialogue “choices” in Episode Originals are probablydefinitely why the “choices matter” advert is a thing.

Them all being Italian because apparently all Italians are either in the mafia, were in or are connected to it somehow 
I’m part Italian and have been to Italy before and last time I checked my ancestors weren’t in the mafia and neither was every single Italian I saw while in Italy but go off authors who write mafia stories

A mafia story isn’t a mafia story without the MC being “special” for literally no reason.
I don’t read mafia stories, so tell me if I’m wrong.

a mafia story isn’t a mafia story without…
reading stories with a similar trope to each other’s. (ex: girl gets kidnapped by mafia gang, meets a hot looking mafia gang leader who she hates and falls in love with him overtime)

A mafia story isn’t a mafia story without the only difference between human trafficking and romance being how conventionally attractive the mafioso your father sells you to is.

that’s how most episode mafia stories are (at least from my perspective)…
well i didn’t really mean “mean” most mafia romance is like when the characters meet at a club/party the love interest usually has something against the main character for no reason lol and then they end up falling in love.

A mafia story isn’t a mafia story without a white woman with blonde hair a defined nose full round lips usually wears matte red lipstick and an “Italian” man with black hair ice colored eyes usually has facial hair who’s married and usually are either the parents of the love interest, the parents of the MC, an aunt and uncle to the love interest or some other “power” couple within the family. And despite having zero chemistry, nothing in common and no depth they’re always depicted as being the “greatest love story of all time”.
I mean if you’re going to write a mafia story at least add some variety to your characters
