I am so sick of the tropification of books
Before you come at me, let me explain. I love good a trope, I think it is a nice way to know what kind of book you are getting into. But, what I don't like is how a whole book is often described just by the trope not the plot, and also when the tropes get very specific -one bed, forced to kiss ect- like you are spoiling the book. Another thing I hate, is when a booktoker start to tropify a book where the main theme isn't even romance, like this is just spoiling at this point and also very misleading. Take for example "The cruel prince", almost everyone on booktok was calling it "enemies to lovers" when it was a political fantasy with a romance subplot. I get it, giving the trope attract the reader but like it get to a point we only see the same thing over and over again, authors start to get lazy, spitting books only driven by tropes without bothering to give their characters any depth whatsoever, they sprinkle some spicy scenes and that is it. (Even tho I get it some people just want to read a simple cute book without needing it to be to full).
Would love to hear anyone thoughts or opinion on this
