I don't have just one best friend. You're all important to me.

when friendship and love wins against all odds

Important question. Childhood friend love interest that loses? Or childhood friend love interest that wins?

why not both?

why not both?

Revenge. I particularly like revenge relating to love. Like it when a character seemingly comes back from the dead for revenge having completely reinvented their character and grown stronger. One of the reasons I’ve been raving so much about the Count of Monte Cristo recently.

Resurrection. It ruins tension but I just really like the idea of death being temporary

Dragons.

They are overused for a reason! What are your favorite overused tropes and if possible why? Personally I like systems if its not just the protag that gets it because it lets us keep track of what exactly each character can do and some of my favorite novels make good use of the idea of the origin of the system and figuring out its true purpose and stuff. Additionally, I like academies because it gives a good place for the mc to interact with a bunch of people and its easy to put info dumps without breaking the immersion.

"Light vs dark" theme! Especially when they're explored a bit more thoroughly.

The roaring rampage of revenge is always satisfying, especially when mixed with liberal dosage of karmic justice and hoisted by their own petard.

I love when the Isekai FL dies in a stupid way so that she can wake up in the fantasy world. Like the FL who drank water after being awake for 3 days and it shocked her system, so she died. Or the FL who drank expired juice and then died lmao

Gets me everytime.

Dead parents.

On the Scribble Hub?
We have quite a lot of "Trapped in the Another World" or "Reincarnate in Another World".
Those are isekai tropes, after all.
There are quite a few tropes for the default protagonist too.

Academy plot, power of friendship, overpower protagonist and inner demon. yes it all sums up my novel

Portal Fantasy/Isekai. Been a fan since The Wizard of Oz. Lol.

I'm also a sucker for Borderline Yandere holds Love Interest Captive. Gilded Cage dark romance for the win~
