What tropes can’t you read because of personal history?

Hi everyone,

Recently I picked up a book recommendation because the reviews sounded great, but I didn’t pay close attention to the description. Turns out the main plot was about the MMC and FMC meeting through online gaming, starting a virtual/sexting relationship, and eventually catching feelings.

The second I realized where it was going, I almost felt sick. A few years ago, I found out my boyfriend of 5 years had been having really explicit conversations with a female friend he gamed with online. It absolutely devastated me at the time, but I never realized it would affect my romance-reading preferences this much. Though I'm fine with books ABOUT gaming or gaming industry.

I definitely have smaller pet peeves too, like I can’t read MMCs with the same name as my dad or brother, and I’m not really into second-chance romance because I don’t personally believe in it (though sometimes I still read them). But this was the first time a trope genuinely hit a nerve because of my own experience.

So now I’m curious: what are your personal “OH HELL NO” micro tropes because of something you’ve gone through in real life?

I have come across the new episode and added to watch later (mainly to listen about the west/amanda drama) and now it’s gone. And I am here trying to figure out why they deleted the episode, why was there an apology, why was it bad, who is bailey etc etc

I’m extremely new but now I’m invested in this podcast drama, so if anyone can give me a tldr about these girls it would be amazing 🫶
