Best stories aren’t the ones u describe😅 Usually community stories that don’t fall at all into those classifications are better. Cause like break free from those themes to expand and write creatively and differently. Also broadens the mind about other stories. So to me personally the best stories aren’t vampire (twilight carbon copies with differences), mafia (over rated with lots of carbon copy paste stories by other authors trying to follow Chain Reaction series while some even stealing those characters even thus lack of originality. Also chances of misrepresentation, normalising the wrong thing aka mafia are good guys, romantic and will change because of a gurl is not accurate.) and high school drama (severely over rated just watch HSM and Riverdale).
Although these stories are the ones that trend and sell, it doesn’t mean they are the best. It is best for business and profits I mean since they bring in alot of reach and audience attraction especially girls from 10-19 year olds cause of guilty pleasure. But these aren’t usually wholesome stories.
Stories that trend and sell aren’t necessarily the best.
