I wish people could create their own stories with original plots instead of stealing an overused idea and changing it up a little so it’s not full on copied.
Before anybody assumes, I’m not saying I want them to be 100% ORIGINAL. Making a story based on something you’re really interested in is great! I just don’t like when it seems a cliche plot has been copied, pasted and then touched up a bit… sorry if you don’t get what I mean.

Yikes. Story of my life.
Also, some of your points I disagree with. Don’t get me wrong, some stories can be completely overrated and just an overused storyline, but you need to think of two things when it comes to authors: most authors write using things they can relate to, whether they fantasise about those things, or they’ve experience it themselves. In another thread, someone asked how the LGBT community felt about people writing stories with of the LGBT. Every single person said it was okay, as long as they were represented properly. A lot of authors avoid those topics because they can’t relate to those experiences and can’t completely understand those feelings. Besides, I’ve seen plenty of stories where there are plenty of same-sex relationships as the main characters. Not a lot compared to heterosexual relationships, but still there.
Secondly, there are some authors who just want to follow trends on stories they enjoy most. There is nothing wrong with that, but it will always become repetitive to the reader.
Also, I literally am not sure what to think when you say “stories with sad endings whereby you don’t get your crush and you aren’t that beautiful”. Sure, sad endings would be amazing to see, but I do not believe someone isn’t that beautiful. Beauty cannot be defined simply by not wearing glasses, wearing revealing clothes, etc. Beauty is everything, however most people classify beauty based on their own preferences. Also, who doesn’t want a story where you don’t end up getting the boy/girl, even after your efforts?

Lolol I completely agree. As soon as I saw this, I’m like “are you joking? another one? I thought we covered this in the last three threads?”

I’ve come to the conclusion that majority of episode readers aren’t well …. yeah, so that’s why a lot of stories with terrible grammar, unrealistic plots, and overused clichés do well. Personally I like reading real books so I’m really picky and critical with stories here and it’s definitely a culture shock for me.

Me too! I haven’t read much on episode because I’ve spend some of my spare time reading amazing novels.

I just want to say that if I ever get to publish a story and finish it, it shall not have a completely happy ending. Give me sad yet hopeful endings or give me death!
Yes, please. Gay men are unfortunately the main target of homophobia. I should know. I used to be homphobic due to the way I was raised; up to this day, my father and my brother continue to refer to homosexual men pejoratively. Stories about gay men in a setting where either their sexuality is totally normal or they struggle with society are both welcome!
