I know it’s weird but for me, for a plot, when the main character has a best friend and the best friend has a big crush on the main character’s brother

- Character Development ~ I love seeing my character changing it just doesn’t have to be positive, it can also be negative
- Choices That Matter ~ I like to see what I choose for a choice affect something because then I just feel like "What was that for? But I’m weird.
- Amazing Grammar ~ Everybody makes grammar mistakes, no big deal. Just try to make your grammar neat as possible
- Engaging Scenes ~ I like to be engaged in a story, that way I’m all like "THIS STORY IS THE BOMB!!! I NEED MORE!!!
- Good Episode Ender, to make me come back for more. ~ I love a good cliffhanger, it keeps me on the edge of my seat wanting more.
- Not a lot of author notes ~ Author notes really annoy me, use them when needed
- Have an option to customize our character after we know them, {Personal} ~ *Maybe it’s just me, but if I have a best friend in the plot, and she is a backstabber I don’t wanna make her look like a supermodel *
- Good Plot ~ Everyone needs a good plot to write a GOOD story, that is a must
- Good Directing ~ Basic directing is well…basic. It wouldn’t want me leaving for more.
- Emotion ~ I like to feel something when really reading a story, that way your story is coming to life.
I hope this helped, I hope you got the idea.

Oh and too add also, this is more of a personal opinion but I love stories where they mc doesn’t fall for the love interest right away.

Yes I totally agree because some stories the mc falls for the love interest when she literally just met him/her like a week ago. But I mean it can kinda be a love at first sight type of thing

Yesss I agree 100% with you! okay this might sound a little cliche but I really like it when the love interest has a best friend and then the mc’s best friend ends up liking the love interest best friend (hopefully that all made since ).

A plot that advances not too slowly. I like a big event that effects the storyline every chapter, or two if there’s a lot going on

I like when the mc doesn’t fall for her/his love interest right away and visa versa. It makes it more exciting😋

A loveable and interesting main character!! I can not stress this enough, I honestly hate main characters that think they’re all bad ass because they’re rude 24/7 and slaps the love interests over the most smallest things.

I agree with what’s been said above
I’d also like to add option to play as a male!
I love reading / playing as a male! I’m more likely to continue a story if it’s from a male perspective >.<

Also tbh I love it when the love interest is a bad boy lmao. I also love it iin romance stories when the two main characters fall for eachother’s personality first before their looks.
And I don’t really like stories where the main character slaps the love interest because it’s “badass” and I dislike stories that have token POC or LGBT characters.
