Your personal ick in romance?
For me is when the mc raises the love interest, there are some exception based on how the author writes the "raising part" for example svsss shen yuan was barely present that's why i managed to enjoy the story but there's some story out there where the mc is fr the mother and father of the love interest and it's just weird for me it's gives off #boymoms
oh I agree this is such an ick for me, and it’s strangely common in romance fantasy isekai manhwas. They’ll introduce a kid for the fmc to raise and then suddenly he grows up and he’s the ml 1 reply
The adopted siblings / step siblings falling in love gives me the ick
What do you mean you love your adopted/step sibling you literally grew up together
It gives of incest vibes even though it's not 1 reply
I've always hated the "I own you" trend in romances even tho it seems that people love ts, no matter the genre I hate this type of confession like it's so goofy, i'd prefer my classic being "you own me, my heart, my soul, take responsibility" instead of the cringe, strange dynamic of a character possibly owning someone and that someone has now the ...... 3 reply

It gets me that apparently (pseudo) incest/ grooming is getting increasingly more common and I am DISGUSTED by it! Oshi no Ko, the evil dutchess has a secret life, my body has been possessed by someone, a changed man and many more of the recent uploads. Ofc you always had a few of them over the years BUT reading an interesting story just to get inc...... 1 reply
When they’re too far apart on the social ladder. Like I love me a good rich x middle class dynamic like yess spoil ur love that’s so cute, but when one mc uses their money to manipulate the other mc bcs they’re dependent on them, that’s when I draw the line. 1 reply
This! I don't see people discussing this enough. When the love interest or the mc plays almost a parental role, it just feels weird. The shizun dynamic in SVSSS was also just a little bit icky for me but like you said, he technically wasn't his shizun to begin which made it more digestible. I don't like the watching the person you're gonna be in lo...... 1 reply
