I think there’re a lot of cliche topics on Episode. The thing with bad boys for me is that if I see that on the title or the description I won’t even read the story.
Other recurrent topics are girls noticed by their crushes (who are the mean and popular girl’s boyfriend at the begining) after getting a makeover, girls falling in love with their kidnapper/roommate/boss/mafia leader/band member or musician/gang member/brother’s bestfriend/teacher, teen pregnancy and other ways to romanticize abuse (especially sexual type).
