• no “.” at the end of sentences
• messed up layers
• too much focus on romance in a non romance story
• most music effects, because I find them unnecessary
• choices that don’t affect the plot at all and force you to a certain outcome example: do you want to kiss him a) yes b) nö, in Option b He will just kiss you first and you’ll still end up kissing
• cliche characters
• “forced” diversity
• stock BG characters
• bad grammar and spelling

I hate when their is a cliche fragile girl who ends up with a bad boy or boy always trying to save the girl rather he a bad or good, OR always about romance and not really any family drama or making it mainly about the MC when it should be about any of characters point of view which is better not just MC

Bad directing: When the CHARACTER stops at a zone and the screen is still panning to that zone or panning too fast.
-
Saying “Don’t click to fast or it will mess up the directing/panning”… If you can’t make it to where no matter how fast you click, it doesn’t mess up then just don’t use complicated directing!!
-
When the author gives you MULTIPLE love interest but still picks who you end up with…
-
When the story is about the MC but we’re mainly only reading from the loves interest POV.
-
Constantly Scene hopping: When your on one scene then like 5 lines later on the next scene/day.
-
Irrelevant sound/music

I am realy picky actually. 
regarding thew good writing characters and story line.
I can tolerate mistakes in directiong but the story itself must be good written.
examples
…story is boring too long narratos with too mcuh informations I actually do not need and forget instantly
…story is confuzing .and too quick…often by begiining writers know the basisc what should happen in the chapter.like girl goes to new school meet new friend and qeen bee and some guy who is rude to her…that is enoug for 1 chapted but writer need to put the stuff inbetween to make reader know the characters and begining writers often do not put anything in between and literaly just have there this scenes and it is so rush and makes feelik it was written by 2 years old kid…
flat characters.o boy this is so important to have 3D characters but sometimes writers forgot to give diferrnet characters different personalities and all people are kinda the same. That is so boring and unrealistic.
I hate when I miss some info (can happen to anybody) and even 3 chapters later I still dont get what I missed from the stroy itself…if it is important make sure it is in the story naturaly mentioned more times…one story got me so confused I just because I missed one infor from boring narrator was absolutly not understandig what is going on in the story.
totaly predicible lot…I am not talking abotu cliche even chliche can be good written un fun but In one story I read …guy meet girls she gives him info abotu job guy ghoes to interview, guy talks about it with his best friend guy goes on date with girl…and next day absolutly the same scenario jut with another girl and another company…uh…like where is something surprising,
also I realy do not like authors intro especialy the one “sory its my first story I know it is not good please dontv hate me” type…and the funny one are also going on my nerves.
I also do not like habit of many stories that thay start with look to the now and thas back to past where the story starts…it might work in some cases but if I see in the intro she will have dificult relationship with a guy and than thay take me back in past before she even met him…I had the feeling like I already know wjhat will be tzhe whole story about and do not get why the aurthor took me the funn to find out that she will develope with him dificult relationship…
And many others.

Having a obsessed with food is actually realistic and funny and relatable lol.

Overly long descriptions of romantic scenes
When the MC makes bad decisions nonstop and you’re just sitting there dying of secondhand embarrassment (it’s worse if it’s a self insert one… bleh)
When you get to pick an outfit and all the options are either hideous or have layers glitching through

I really hate it when people make fake choices.
and by fake I mean. one is locked. not because something you done but because the writer wont actualy give you one
or choices where all is the same. like
so do you wanna kiss me?
yes
Yes
YES!
this are not choices. dont make them. if it dont actually change anything I hate them. I am fine with the small go left or right. or kiss him. let him kiss you. but if the choice dont change a single line its useless and should not be their

A big pet peeve of mine is when people call an episode featured story problematic for silly reasons, most of them are problematic but still people bash these stories for the simplest things. Like saying stuff like “omg this person in the background is smoking, they are promoting smoking to children” Girl how?

Drinking->sleeping with a ‘hot guy’-> Pregnancy. I’m so tired of it. It makes the MC looks stupid and it’s almost in every pregnancy story.
Sexual romance story- almost every romance story contains a very sexual cover. And a lot of ‘steamy’ scenes. I just want to read a pure romance story is it too much to ask 
Bad directioning. I don’t mind few errors it doesn’t bother me at all cuz we all make typos. But when the directioning is generally bad It’s pretty difficult to enjoy.
Falling in love in like two episodes. I really hate this. I love a good slowburn and I get annoyed when my characters kiss in the first episode

I think this is the third pet peeve thread I’ve opened since starting the forums lmao
There’s the usual, the bad grammar, weird pauses, flat characters, unrealistic dialogue, the introducing-characters thing, pregnancy (especially when the sex-ed is terrible), fake diversity, default characters, weak erotica, second-hand embarrassment, but one that might maybe be unusual:
I won’t read a story when the description contains “What happens when…”
Idk why, I just find it to be an uncreative and overused filler for the description.

The finding out you are pregnant the day after you have sex. Like I know you need to progress the story but the next day is just insane.
The fact that safe sex is not even an option. It is like telling people there are no consequences for having unsafe sex.
I would love to read a story about the MC having unsafe sex and having to deal with the fact that they now have a STD or HIV/Aids.

Using the silhouette hair colour. I hate it so much. it’s not black hair it’s an empty pit of nothing but darkness. and it looks wrong that it has no details. I dont understand why so many people use it. I hate to look at it and often wanna leave a story because of it

I don’t think you can use silhouette as a hair color anymore.
When the authors don’t know how to match lip colors for dark skinned characters, it’s not that hard! And then it looks like this…NO nobody’s natural lips look like this!
