Is your typical bad boy/mob boss/powerful CEO outdated?

Yeah, I’m sorry if my post made you feel otherwise. I actually read and enjoyed a lot of cliches story! I just feel like it could be great to see a little more of changes among the top stories trending.

I wasn’t really talking about your post, but more about the fact that people often equate the trending section with bad stories by default. Yes there are bad stories, but there’s also really good ones. I also think you could argue that there is variety in the trending section already. You have to remember that when it comes to genres like romance and drama that nearly everything has been done and probably at least ten times. Romance/Relationships/Drama have been around since the dawn of time. It’s not really a matter of: Oh the author is lazy, it’s more a matter of: oh this has been done before and this too and this too.

That 's very true, but I feel like it’s too bad that these authors, who earned this audience, don’t use it to come up with new story ideas. I said earlier in this post that it was bad to write for reads, but once you get them, why not try something new?

I think the bigger author’s whose stories I read do this already. Yes it might be in a cliche way, but they’re still coming up with innovative ways to do it.

I’m also going to defend the genres and say this: people can write what they want. I want new and original just as much as anyone, but at the end of the day we have to let people write what they want. (Within guides of course).

You said it, whatever they’ll publish will be at least checked out by their usual readers.
Why don’t try to come up with a more elaborated plot then?

I’m going to direct you to my og post here. This is an app for entertainment. I will also argue that the more popular stories I’ve read do have more elaborate plots.
