i hate like when he calls her “pet” or “kitten” or “little one” like STOPalso those weird little half cover things if yk what i mean🤮
certain nicknames bother me sm, half cover things, fake stickers on the cover, books where the actual page size is too small (like I hope this doesn't find you has that), plagiarism, when the mmc is annoying and cringy, when the only thing the main characters think about is eachothers eyes and eyes are mentioned every 2 pages
oh also when the book is stiff and hard to open, real people on covers, and when it takes 100 pages to get into the book
I hate it when the dialogue doesn’t have quotation marks around it. You’re very literary. We get it. Just use quotes. When every woman except the FMC is evil, especially any exes. Women can be villains, just make them interesting. If they’re flat and their only characteristic is being mean, I take off a star. That’s poor writing.
When MCs in a romance spend no time together. I want to see their relationship grow! To do that, they need to be together. (On the telephone, over voice notes, on FaceTime, whatever. But they need to interact somehow.)

oh and those freaky age gaps like…51 year old guys dont needa be dating 22 year old girls……js saying
I saw this pin on Pinterest that says "he's 1007 but looks 17 and she's 16 so the age gap is fine." Like nooooo
H۶ৎ wrote: "eugh i hate when authors write about a big age gap and think its sexy or something like its really not"I think it depends, I think it can be written well if they are both ADULTS and not minor x 77 yr old man and I think if their age gap is over 15 years it starts to ick me out ☹️
H۶ৎ wrote: "eugh i hate when authors write about a big age gap and think its sexy or something like its really not"Yesss (the only exception to me is sometimes it works if they’re both immortal)

✧☾E l l i☽✧ wrote: "Oh yea and when it has real people or animals on the cover…… it lwk freaks me out"Agreed- I hate realistic covers with a PASSION. As soon as I see them I don't even bother TOUCHING the book. People be like "dont judge a book by it's cover!" IM JUDGING. IM. JUDGING. THERE IS NO SAVING THAT BOOK.

@ AJ could you send me the poll analysis and make another poll for what isn't the appropriate age gap to have, plz? (I won't make it like 15 and a 30year old or something. I would like it to be over 18, plz?)
