This may seem to vague but "Woke"
Authors trying to make stuff woe makes it seem predictable and less interesting.
Can we try to give some ties to mythology, folklore, story twists, or religions, Like I don't know the bible?
Maybe your an athiest, but at least make some cool anything.
I just don't want to keep seeing romance graphic novels with lgbtq+ characters!
Now respectfully, I'm a follower of the creator and not gay.
I do not hate members of the community, I just don't want it being the only thing in my discussions.
I DO NOT WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU DO UNDER THE COVERS!
It just gets worse because they put it on books for younger and younger audiences
It's getting to the point that we might as well teach fetuses sex ed!



Sorry, I was not meant to rant.
Yall can disagree or hate me all you want, but I know most of you are from America and you believe in Freedom of speech.
This is not hate speech, just my opinion on a certain genre.
Thank you, keep scrolling.

[Zozunen]

I love slow burns and i hate love triangles

[Chosen]

Also I hate tropes where the main character has immense plot armor, or when EVERYONE must be in a relationship!
It's annoying!
I am fine with enemies to lovers.
But I hate polygamy man!
I hate underage stuff too man!
Like WHY IS THIS IN MY FEED!!!
WHY IS THIS IN MY RECOMMENDED!

Favorite romance/fantasy - enemies to lovers and really good friendships. Least favorite would be second chance romances

[Hannah]

Favorite: enemies to lovers
Least: miscommunication or pregnancy

[Karsyn]

Fave: hurt-comfort trope 😩👌
Least fave: second chance (specifically if mains are in good relationships when they reunite and then lowkey cheat and try to justify it)

[Chosen]

Karsyn....I love comforting stuff too! It's so wholesome.
But the second chance is just annoying and unrealistic

[bookhugger]

favourite: enemies to lovers, childhood friends to lovers, fake dating
least: friends w benefits, pregnancy, cheating,

[Chosen]

(Unpopular opinion)
I believe pregnancy can be a good trope as long as it's wholesome, Not overextended, cringe, or anything else.
It could work as a smaller portion but not as a full book.
(Especially if people are trying to make out during that time like WTF)

[•°Dahlia ( on and off )]

I hate the " a dar if i can make you fall for me , but then i fell for you too "
And i love enemies to lovers or arranged marriage !

[Chosen]

Yeah the latter is really stupid

[angeline]

favorite(s): found family, betrayal
least favorite(s): second chance romance, miscommunication

[v3lvetpages]

OMFG I hate Dares and Second Chance romance and When people don't use why choose correctly that pisses me off and I haven't read a really good enemies to lovers I feel like its always confused with bully romance. Sooo if yall could send me some recs that would greattt..

[Chosen]

what would you guys seek in an enemies to lovers?
In my manuscript the characters would realize they had feelings but only later on.
The MC would be someone that the Antagonist (Love interest) Would be trying to apprehend.
I was going to make the antagonist hold back as she would be the one who would have feelings first.

Is this a bad way to get it plotted down?

[Eden]

Favorite: Reluctant Hero. They are either super cocky or not at all confident, and either way it makes for a good narrator.

Least Favorite: Age gaps. 2 years (maybe 3, depending on the circumstance) is the max for me, when it goes over my skin crawls. (This definitely isn't targeting a certain fandom)

[A]

sooo dont hate me but I actually like the pregnancy trope. and i LOVE friends to lovers and fake dating!

[jaycee]

My favorite book trope is enemies to lovers, something about the tension!!!😩🩷 Personally my least favorite book trope is love triangles, it’s okay in some books but i just don’t like when the mc has to choose who they want to be with. 😪

[Carrie]

I can’t pick just one fav trope, I love enemies to lovers, touch her and die, Mine, primal. Anything along those lines.

My least favourite tropes are cheating, and anything that’s too normal lol, like every day stuff ie pregnancy.

[⊹ ⁺ ₊ ✧ she's book obsessed ✧ ₊ ⁺ ⊹]

When miscommunication is executed poorly; instead of being angsty it's just annoying

[Live2009]

[Mbhabibti]

My favorites are extremely slow burn enemies-to-lovers and found family. In my opinion, nearly any trope can be good if it's well written, so I don't really have a "least favorite" — (except I'm seeing people's comments about step siblings, and I've never read that, but it sounds weird!)

[Elena]

Favorite: Tragic past
Least favorite :Anything like dark romance
