Some things that I like to see in stories is genuine love interests that are nice and show their feelings well. I also like when in some stories, there is no romance and its all about mystery and things like that, it is refreshing sometimes:)but I also like romance stories too! What I don’t like is a whole bunch of cliches, bad boy falling for good girl, mean girls being mean to the nerd so she changes herself, and having the love interest be a player until the MC changes that, and things like that. It all gets very old. I also dislike when the story moves to fast, it gets overwhelming and it just doesn’t seem right.
Hope this helps, Have fun writing! Its a great experience!

Personally, I like to see a slow burn in a story, like enemies to lovers and well paced. I don’t want to see cliche high school situations, mafias, bad boy falling for mean girl or anything like that. It’s not that it’s “bad” but it’s so common that I want to read something new. :))

Yes slow burns keep me reading bc if the LI and MC get together too quickly it just seems forced/rushed.

Same here!!
I think clichés are ok if they are done correctly…
Here’s my list:
Things I would like to see:
Interesting side characters.
Dark topics (without going against the guidelines).
Things I wouldn’t like to see:
Perfect characters. We all have flaws…
