I dislike how in stories the MC or love interest will do something, and then regret it straight afterwards and chase them. Like why did you do it in the first place lol.
I like cliches that are well written. Cliches that are not problematic and that you can tell the author has put in time and effort and managed to add their own twist to make it different and interesting.
I don’t like the abusive and controlling mafia leader who manages to get the weak MC cliche. There are more but that’s the one I hate the most
I’m sure you can pretty much get away with any cliche as long as it’s not high school stuff. They don’t trend well anymore, so I assume young adult tropes would be better.
Personally, I love the “assistant” trope, but with slow burn.
Agreed. Every so often I will add a cliche, but I will make sure that it fits into the story well and it isn’t something that’s just there for the sake of it.
I like a bad boy story every so often, but that type of story has been done so many times now that I think people find it too much. If you have one or two characters that have a ‘bad boy’ personality in a story, but it doesn’t take over the whole plot then I think it’s fine.
I love it when villains in a story have charisma and charm. It makes them so lovable. I do think that a villain should have a justified reason to be a villain otherwise it just ruins the character.
I hate the senseless cliche in horror stories When chars are all going separately when they can just stay as a group. And that car broke down/ no signal thing. Lololol
