I wrote a lot of mafia stories (criticizing that lifestyle, in my country gangs are a huge problem) and the LI and MC tend to be beautiful because people tend to tolerate more of their bullshit if they are pretty…
It’s sad and it’s called pretty privilege, but idk, most of my stories are a critique of something so I include that too
It’s sad to say this, but I know 15-year-old boys who are in gangs, but I think that some authors overexaggerated this :((
This also applies to the gay or trans friend :((
A lot of you mentioned mafia stories, but I also want to include some vampire stories. Don’t get me wrong, I like some popular vampire stories (like BTM and EMU), but some authors write about the same thing: a dark vampire, an innocent girl, she doesn’t know that he is a vampire, etc
Some vampire stories are very generic and predictable…
