Love Tropes rewriting
What’s one love trope you wish authors would write differently, and how would you change it?
Personally, I love enemies to lovers, but authors always seem to make it about mafia/yakuza or bullies. I want NORMAL characters who might even have been attracted to each other at first sight, but somehow keep bickering, getting on each other’s nerves, and clashing over everything.
I want to see that tension last for a while before they start falling for each other, not just have them go, “OMG, I might actually be in love with him/her!” after one argument. Like, let them be enemies for a little longer!
What about you guys? Whats trope do you want to change about?
I love but also hate enemies to lovers. You cannot realistically have real enemies experience the moments of quiet heart to heart interaction that building realistic love requires. Every time I see enemies to lovers, the hate and dread is so mellowed out its more like highschoolers that got into an argument, even when their backstories are some kin...... 3 reply
