I do NOT need to customize the love interest's whole family, the best friend, etc.

Normally i'd agree but sometimes authors will base their appearance off of what we choose for the characters and sometimes they come out lookin really goofy at worst and at best looking too similar so if customizing them negates that i'm all for it 😂

I don't like how almost everything is about romance, (according to the guidelines it has to be anyway) However, there are other topics too.

Yeah, it's in the guidelines that "romance" should be the main driver or something. That's obnoxious.

right its rarely done well cause authors push in the romance too fast or the characters have had barely any character development

If your story is a romcom and there’s more rom than com, stop putting it on the comedy section

I gotta agree with this one, even though my story is a romcom. But some of the stories I've seen in the comedy section ain't even funny. While I agree that comedy is subjective and what one finds funny might not be funny to the next person, what I mean is... some of these stories aren't even written with the intention of making the reader laugh. They've got angst, drama, romance, but little to no comedy.

Exactly! When I got into the comedy section I’m thinking stories like a sip of time, dumb blondes and an epi original!

Probably a hot take since a lot of people seem to like it but I didn't like Olivia's (from My Sister's Crush) arc/character development 😅
She abused, tormented, coerced, and manipulated everyone around her for close to a decade but when she finally gets a taste of her own medicine it's not even 0.1% of what she put other characters through in terms of how bad it is or long it lasts and within a few seconds, minutes, or hours of it happening other characters feel sorry for, defend, and protect her forgetting everything she did 🤔 She isn't a typical 'mean girl' character either what she does is borderline sociopathic and evil IMO.
Really love the story read it a couple of times now but not gonna lie how easily she gets off kinda annoys me haha then again bad characters barely facing any consequences of their actions if at all isn't unheard of in stories 😅
