Me: (desperately browsing Amazon for something to read) Why is every damn romance book the same plot?!
Author: I've written something fresh and new! Revolutionary!
Me: (cautiously optimistic) Go on...
Author: So there's this jacked-up billionaire manwhore and this virgin, right?...I
Fangirls: OMG BRILLIANT! SO FRESH! DARING STORYTELLING! SEVENTY STARS!
Me:...Guess I'll just re-read the "Mindf*ck" series again.

That is as refreshing as drinking lighter fluid!

It has been hard to find books lately hasn't it? but the 'mindf@#$' series is amazing. I have read it twice.

Originality does seem at an all time low. And both the billionaire and virgin character types are beyond over done. I really wish authors would cease with the rinse-repeat.

I put up with this paint-by-numbers crap when I was sneaking my mom's Harlequins in middle school and i didn't know better, but I'm just so beyond tolerating lazy storytelling these days. I know it's a guaranteed sale, especially for newer authors trying to break into the market, but I'm just done with giving my money to hacks with no imagination.

V. PARENTAL GUIDANCE ALERT: A Court of Wings and Ruin is NEW ADULT/EROTICA but Goodreads editors won't tell you wrote: "The manwhore virgin combo is so overdone."It really is. I don't understand why readers are so in love with that trope.
