Is your typical bad boy/mob boss/powerful CEO outdated?

I totally agree with you on that point, but now I wonder if the well-known authors who write this kind of stories are actually still writing for reads? I mean, yes, it’s probably satisfying for them to get thousands of fan mails & stuff (since its what they wanted in the first place), but I think you end up getting used to it? Do you think that once they’ve reached the level of # they were expecting, they’re still writing for reads?
I don’t think they do. I guess even though the original motive of their story was bad and self-oriented, this is not something you can’t get rid of. Maybe it’s up to that point where they start writing for good reasons & the story can possibly get better. (But tbh as they’re already stuck up with empty characters, i guess they’ll focus on a more well-thought plot) This doesn’t make the beginning of the story better, but at least they’re trying What do you think about it?

I agree with you. I feel like Episode reached a limit in terms of innovative content since, as you said it’s always the same & they know it. I guess it’s also why Ivy was launched, in order for the episode app to be able to elaborate new content, since the audience’s expectations are slowly but definitely evolving.

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.

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?

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?
