How to avoid writing a cliched romance story?

Well, first off, don't rely on stereotypes. Make the storylines unpredictable. Maybe have the characters face real-life challenges that test their love in non-traditional ways. And give them individual goals that don't solely revolve around the romance.

Think outside the box. Avoid common tropes like love at first sight or the damsel in distress. Focus on building unique and complex characters with real emotions and motivations.

To not write a cliched romance, you need to add depth to the relationship. Explore the characters' flaws and how they overcome them together. Also, create unexpected plot twists that don't follow the typical romance patterns.

If I'm Male, I Can Avoid a Yandere, Right?

If I'm Male, I Can Avoid a Yandere, Right?

Cold horror gripped my heart when I finally admitted out loud: I'm in a dating sim filled with yanderes. I quickly sat up. As much as I love the game and enjoyed the characters, there's no way in hell will I follow any of the routes. All of them lead to pain and some even death! I don't want to die or get raped! But, I don't know if I'll be forced to. There's no neutral ending, after all, and even if there was, I don't think it would be any better than the other endings. What do I do? A light bulb lit up. If I'm male, I can avoid a yandere, right? Getting transported into a dating sim is a girl's wish! But, as they say, be careful what you wish for. Our female lead, who goes by Haruka in her otome games, gets that wish. So, what's the catch? It's the game full of yandere characters and bad “good endings.” Thinking she'll go back to her world at the end of the game timeline, she decides she'll be a guy to bypass any affection. Smart, right? Silly girl forgets there is no neutral ending. She is the Main Character, and there is no escape. Updates: Uhhhh, I try, lol. Taking it at my own pace, which mean irregular updates. Warnings: Many curse words and some violence. Uh, gets a bit sexual later, but nothing extreme. Oh, and since I get people constantly trashing or complaining about my MC, I’ll warn you now that she is a “pushover.” A great target for yanderes, if you will. So leave if that isn’t your cup of tea, thank you.

Regressed Reincarnation: How to Escape a Fantasy World!!

Regressed Reincarnation: How to Escape a Fantasy World!!

[The story will resume from 1st of March] [Currently under heavy Editing. I will be back sometime in the future once I am done with editing the starting chapters through and thorough. Sorry for the inconvenience. (No. of chapter Edited 0/100) Although the major errors are like in the first 30-40 chapters, I will still look a bit further for smoother reading experience. The errors are highlighted in a pinned review.] ........................... 'Every Mistake has a price' Visca, a playground for the 'Gods', is a world where 'Gods' nurture their champions to fight for them. Reincarnators, Transmigrator, Regressers, people with system and other cheat characters, all roam the world of Visca. Then, HE was brought into this world. And THAT, was the mistake the 'Gods' shouldn't have done. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: He reincarnates in a world that has its own laws and rules. A vast world where different species rule over different kingdoms. A world where magic decides your future. There is danger lurking everywhere. Thousands of secrets undiscovered. What happens when a genius among geniuses reincarnates into that world with only a pathetic amount of magic within him? What would happen to someone who only wanted to live a plain life with his wife and family? What was the reason for his reincarnation? and what will he do next? Find out as you follow a magical journey of myths and Legends, as threads of fate unravel themselves at the hands of the 'weakest' mage. ................................................................. [Chapter 1-18 is 0th ark. (A form of intro ark) It has many information dumps and there could be grammatical mistakes in them, so please bear with it. Chapter 19+ is the first ark. It is where the main story actually starts. Thank you for coming here] .................................................................. Other important points: •This isn't a weak to strong type of novel. Our protagonist is strong from the beginning. The story would revolve around him and his brothers along with the future allies and the choices they make as they explore the world. •The first 18 chapters will have a lot of foreshadowing, world-building and other explanations. It will cover at least half of the world area that you should expect to be explored in the future. •Also, you might feel like it started somewhere from the middle with so many things going on in the background and that's because it is so...Don't expect things to finally kick into motion after the MC appears... .................................................................. [I do not own the Cover and if the creator has any issues, please message me at deathscavenger97@gmail.com I'll credit or remove it]
