I find it really interesting talking about what people dislike in episode stories, what makes you NOT want to finish an story.
What makes me not want to finish a story:
● Using the gay bestfriend as a prop to make your story look more diverse, but really they have no persona whatsoever and are not relevant. Don’t include a ‘diverse’ character if it’s going to be completley based on stereotypes which brings me to my next point.
● When authors try and write stories about minorites or cultures that they are not educated on and get offended and call it bullying when people call them out. Publishing a story means you should be open to all types of constructive criticism.
● The bad boy stories, I’m not going to lie, i have read a couple bad boy stories but they are all pretty much identical. The bad boy is a complete idiot to the MC and she ‘doesn’t like him’ usually slams her against a locker which is btw sexual assault ,who in their right mind slams someone against a locker? And it’s ok because he’s ‘hot’ in rl If someone did that to me I would be kicking and screaming lmao. Bad boys aren’t boys who f*ck all the women they can and they are not all jerks.
●Please dont write a story that is
homophobic,racist,islamophobic or offensive in any way shape or form. If you dont support the LGBTQ+ community then thats your issue but just be mature.
●Customizing, before I used to love customizing the MC and refused to read stories where I couldn’t but now I dont really mind. What I still despise is having a whole episode for CC… Just no. I also dont like cusomising the whole town. Like i’m sorry but I dont want to CC johnny who works at the cafe or Mary who works at the bar. Maybe just the MC & LL.
● Another thing that makes me click off the story super quick is a scene thats totally uncalled for in most stories 'The omg I’m about to get raped scene then all of a sudden the bad boy comes from no where and punches the guy and BAM! He’s down This is not only highly unrealistic and romanticizing rape Like no just don’t add a scene that was completely irrelevant to the plot to make the bad boy seem like a ‘nice guy’ idk about everyone else, but reading these types of stories make me

● Stereotypes based on looks. What pisses me off is when people stereotype peopl based on what they look like for example, nerds with glasses. I wear glasses sometimes, not for fashion but because i need them to see. Blonde cheerleaders that are mean and bitchy for no reason whatsoever. One of my bestfriends is a blonde and she’s literally one of the sweetest people I know. I just refuse to believe that someones looks defines their character.
I’ve probably missed alot out and am going to add onto it later but what do y’all find annoying?
