How can common cliches in romance novels be both appealing and annoying?

One of the annoying cliches is the 'instant love' concept. Characters meet and immediately fall head over heels without really getting to know each other. It's so unrealistic. Another is the 'damsel in distress' scenario where the female lead is always in trouble and needs the male lead to save her. It gives a rather old - fashioned view of female characters. And the 'rich and brooding hero' who is always moody but somehow super attractive just because of his wealth and looks.

To avoid the cliches, writers should focus on unique storylines. Instead of the overused love triangle, think of new ways for characters to interact and develop relationships. Don't rely on the 'happily ever after' ending without showing some real challenges that the couple might face in the future. And when it comes to character descriptions, be more creative than just using the standard 'tall, dark, and handsome' for the male and 'big - eyed beauty' for the female.

One common cliche is the 'love at first sight' trope. The protagonists see each other across a crowded room and are instantly smitten. Another is the 'damsel in distress' where the female lead is constantly in trouble and needs the male lead to rescue her. Also, the 'rich and brooding hero' who has a troubled past but is softened by the love of the heroine.

One common cliche is the 'love at first sight' scenario. The protagonists see each other and immediately feel an intense, indescribable attraction. Another is the 'tall, dark, and handsome' hero. He's often described this way to give an air of mystery and allure. Also, the 'damsel in distress' where the female lead constantly needs rescuing by the male.

One common cliche is the 'love at first sight' trope. The two main characters see each other and immediately feel an intense, almost magical attraction. Another is the 'rich and powerful hero' who sweeps the ordinary girl off her feet. And the 'big misunderstanding' that causes a rift between the couple but is eventually resolved.

The most common cliches in novels included: 1. The plot of transmigration/rebirth/returning to the past was commonly seen in various fantasy, science fiction, and historical novels. The protagonist obtained a new life in this way, changed the history of the past, and became a legendary figure. 2. In romance, fantasy, and urban novels, there were always a few ways to pair the cold male leads with the cute female leads. From meeting, getting to know each other, falling in love, and finally getting together, there were always a few patterns. 3. Various plots of counterattack/revenge/leveling up. The protagonist always defeated the evil forces and became a hero through continuous efforts and struggle. 4. All kinds of transmigration/rebirth/return to the past. The protagonist returns to the past in some magical way to change history to achieve his own goal. The protagonist always leads to a series of tragic endings because of some of his own misunderstandings or misunderstandings of other people's actions. 6. All kinds of love at first sight/mutual affection plots. The protagonist and a protagonist of the opposite sex fell in love at first sight and then ended up together happily. 7. Adventurers of various classes such as the Breaking Poison Master/Gourmet/Secret Service. The protagonists use some special skills or methods to solve various difficulties and obtain victory. 8. The protagonists of all kinds of family/love/friendship novels always had conflicts with friends or relatives for some reason, and finally resolved the misunderstanding and became good friends or good family. These are the most common cliché plots in novels. These plots appear repeatedly in novels and make people feel bored. Therefore, when writing novels, it's best not to repeat them and be brave enough to create your own unique storyline.

The impact of cliches in romance novels on the reading experience varies. The 'damsel in distress' cliche, for example, can be off - putting for some readers who want strong female characters. But for others, it can be part of the charm. Similarly, the 'rich and powerful male' cliche might seem too unrealistic for some, while others enjoy the fantasy element. In general, it depends on the reader's personal taste and the author's ability to handle these cliches in an interesting way.

Well, there are several. A lot of horror novels have the cliche of the character going into a place they're clearly been warned not to. Like the abandoned asylum or the dark forest. Then there's the cliche of the character being alone and hearing footsteps or breathing when no one else should be there. And the whole 'it was just a dream... or was it?' trope is also very common in horror novels.

Some of the typical cliches in fantasy novels include the use of magic systems that are either very elemental (fire, water, earth, air) or based on some sort of internal power source like mana. There are also the over - used character archetypes such as the grizzled old mentor who teaches the young hero. The concept of a quest, like going on a journey to find a magical object or rescue a princess, is also a very common cliche.

One of the typical cliches in comics is the never-ending battle between good and evil. It's like they can never truly defeat each other for good. Another is the secret identity of the hero, which always seems to be in danger of being exposed.
