6/27/2023 What are your least favorite tropes?
Least favorite trope..hm...oh! Bully romances. Like f no! Those are horrible. Same with toxic romances. Like I do not want to see an abusive relationship. I am old, just give me a stable relationship with nice people

Same here. Bully romances would be awful. I like to read something at least somewhat happy :)
ReplyDeleteIt makes my soul heart to even think of those books
DeleteI would have to agree with you. I don't want to see anything toxic.
ReplyDeleteNo thanks. If it is toxic it is a thriller or something, not romance
DeleteYeah, bully romances are not my favorite either! I always cringe, but I have read one that I liked.
ReplyDeleteCringe is the word. But glad you found a good one
DeleteBully trope is hard. I also am not a huge fan of steam punk.
ReplyDeleteI liked steam punk way back
DeleteI like enemies to lovers but not if he's a bully at first.
ReplyDeleteI just can not deal with a bully
DeleteTotally no abuse or toxicity. Not even silly disagreements before the final "I love you".
ReplyDeleteYes to all of that. I hate those things
DeleteWhat is a bully romance? It just seems counterproductive.
ReplyDeleteOne person bullies the other one and then dunno they fall in love. It is enemies to lovers on steroids. Ugh. No thanks. Like you would fall for the person torturing you for years
DeleteI don't hate any one trope by themselves. They are only bad and annoying if not written well - like the dreaded love triangle!
ReplyDeleteTrue. Some can be done well
DeleteI would have to agree with you- those do not sound good to me- or romantic. I would steer clear of someone who bullied me and then wants to date me.
ReplyDeleteIt is so ugh. Like he bullied u for years, but hey he is in love now so that is ok
