What happened to that Jesse? That's the Jesse we need back.
9. They randomly start singing and that takes up like the entire chapter. Like wait what?? It's usually something like.
"Jesse: I love our new adventures! Sea temples, all that good stuff!
Petra: Me too! Though I'm sad about ___
Jesse: Yeah...
Suddenly, Jesse began to sing Titanium by Demi Lovato!"
????
10. High school AUs. These can be great! I feel like these work much better as fun little one-shots! But most of the time if they're full books they're soooooooo boooorrrriiinngggg ahhhh. There's a reason you
11. Not using the new worlds or not making up new worlds to travel to! You guys! There's a whole entire world of new dimensions to make up! Why not expand on that??
12. Wait, no pretty descriptions?...at all?? Just talking? Aww - Okay :(
13. Having a stupid love triangle with an obvious choice and the other's a stalker. I've seen a lot where characters like Jack or Aiden or whatever fall in love with Petra or Jesse or whatever and it's like 'ooh, who will they choose! Jack/Jesse or Aiden/Lukas!?'
I really wonder *rolls eyes*
Also, since they (the author) wants to shove the idea down your throat who they'll choose, they seem to make the other person evil and just a plain straight up creep!
What the heck!?
This is honestly just a problem I have with a lot of stories where to make it seem even more obvious who the protagonist chooses, they make the other guy seem evil and cruel and don't let the main person choose who they want based on the other two's pros and cons and their chemistry.
14. "Carried her bridal style."
15. The guys having abs. This cliche always makes me cry laughing because it just comes out of nowhere.
"Petra looked up from being kidnapped for the thousandth time. Her arm was cracked. Jesse tore off his shirt revealing his big 6-pack. Petra blushed and-"
*Violent sobbing and laughing/cackling*
16. EEEENNNNNNDDDDLLLEEESSSS BBBLLLUUUSSSHHHIIINNG.
17. Aiden being a straight up creep.
I HATE. THIS. SO MUCH.
I've seen quite a few stories where, to make Aiden absolutely irredeemable, becomes a straight up pervert and literally. attempts. to take advantage of. someone.
OH.
MY.
NOTCH.
NO.
No no no no no no no no no no bad. He just becomes a total creep and has that smooth talk that makes my skin crawl whenever I read it. Yes, Aiden's misguided and jealous and probably killed a few people, but for him to be this sleazy and genuinely creepy is not cool.
18. This one's not as common but I really dislike it: the friend of someone comes back after like years and they're the childhood friend of usually Petra, Jesse gets jealous, then the friend turns out to be evil!
Wow! It's almost like *slowly turns head towards invisible camera* I predicted that and that's exactly what everyone thought would happen.
This also kinda ties into the entire, 'make the other love interest a total jerk and terrible person just to justify the protagonist's choice in the end.' thing I pointed out earlier.
19. Episode 6 murder mystery stuff that's literally just Toruqedawg and Sparklez or Dan and Stampy shipping. It can be cool! But just...not if it's the main thing of the story.
20. The fact that a lot of people make OCs but don't utilize them into the story! Mainly they're just the person's main OC that's shipped with someone and kinda just becomes instant friends with the main group.
No new OCs that add to their adventure, no cool new bad guys or interesting mentors or..anything.
Like, you don't have to add new characters! But if you're gonna, please don't just add yourself.
21. No adventure. I know this is the first one but I hate it so much when it's an ADVENTURE GAME. AND THERE'S NO DEPTH OR PLOT IT'S JUST SHIPPING AHH WHY.
(Also! Yes please everyone feel free to add your personal cliches or ships that irk you!)
