I've been on wattpad for 4 years (ig?) and I've been reading for almost 6-7 something yrs now and I've noticed that my capacity for tolerating certain things has gone down to hell.

Just now I was reading a mafia book on wattpad and dnf'ed it cuz the MMC is emotionally and literally deaf and blind. For me, to track all the books (actually just to *stare* at the growing numbers sometimes and feel good) I've read, I save them in my reading lists and I'm doing it for quite some time and I've many books I read in past where the scene was almost similar and I've finished it.

Also, just the other day, I was reading the story about an orphan girl who with the help of her lover found her family, she was a single child and her parents adopted a girl when she got lost. Now, the said girl who's her adopted sis was making her life difficult by pulling bs shits. Her parents, who the author emphasized again and again were gentle and loved her very much were either spectating or just said to her, "you're her big sis, she made mistake, you can forgive her." Utter fucking dogshit, another dnf.

Yesterday, I dnf'ed one more, the FMC's MIL 'by mistake' poured a whole ass kalash of milk over her when she was going to an imp meeting with MMC. Now, even the blind could have seen (or read) that it was deliberate. The MMC, who by the way loves her so much that he can 'allegedly' take a bullet for her, went to his mother and yelled at FMC for coming in his mother's way and making her late for the temple. Like, dude what?

And these are some of the 'extreme' egs, I've dnf'ed for far more smaller things in the recent months. The MC is top surgeon at 23? dnf. The 'badass' FMC is tolerating bs? dnf. 18 years old is somehow mafia boss and topper? dnf. The capable MC is acting like a dumbfuck? dnf.

I've dnf'ed more recently than read, has anyone having similar... what do I call this? issue? nah. situation, yes. Is anyone having similar situation?

I don't generally read MC club romance cuz I feel like there's too much misogyny there but I was reading a second chance MC romance today and it pissed me off into dnf'ing. So, I'm asking you all to plz give me one where MMC leaves his club because of her. It can be for any reason, for eg,

1. She expressed she wouldn't date a MC guy, doesn't like MC clubs and their culture or whatsoever (bonus)
2. She didn't like how he was prioritizing his club over her and said she don't wanna data a guy who doesn't prioritize her.
3. She had an altercation with someone from the club and told him, he was enraged and left the club.
4. She felt like an outsider there and didn't like it.

It can be any reason involving her. Also, I don't want her to be his ol' lady or having his cut at any point in the story.

Bonus, he offers her the title/cut and she rejects it.

Now, things I absolutely don't want,

1. Bully, HR, OV, RH, OW, Too much mdom, Single Parent, Pregnancy
2. Toxic dynamics: manipulative, cruel, alphahole MMC
3. Over-controlling and over-possessive MMC
4. Stockholm Syndrome or doormat FMC
5. Age-gaps more than 10 yrs (Absolutely no large age gap pairings with FMC under 24)
6. Third act breakups or MMC fucking up and groveling

Ok, here's what all I recall,

1. FMC belonged to a very conservative and misogynist family.
2. MMC and FMC were both from the same culture and MMC didn't go to church(?) much and FMC was forced to.
3. FMC and MMC didn't like each other much in the real life.
4. Both of them were friends online with the username of Adam and Eve (iirc) but didn't actually know that it was them irl.
5. They had an MOC where FMC married him for freedom and I remember there was a scene where she was going to a club at night and he was like, she should at least take him/inform.
6. MMC loved Eve (FMC's username) but didn't actually know it's FMC so he pretty much ignored or was kinda asshole(?) to her.
7. One day when FMC was messaged Adam, she heard MMC's phone ping, she messaged again and it pinged again, she saw the phone and gtk that MMC is Adam.

I'm like 75% sure it was a published romance and not a wattpad romance.

TYIA

I'm sick and tired of forced marriage trope, like so sick. Every other story has someone forcing FL to get married. More than half of the arranged marriage books on Wattpad should be categorized under 'forced marriage,' cuz most of the FLs are forced by their parents/someone, what's the issue in giving the choice to FL, bruh. Like, why can't there be FLs who are fine and consents to arrange marriage???

And when I say forced marriage, it includes force of any kind, like,

1. forced into arranged marriage by parents (if FL wants to get married, then it's fine)
2. forced/manipulated into marriage by ml (absolutely disgusts me)
3. replaced bride where she doesn't want it (replaced groom is alright as long as she's made aware of it before marriage and consents to it)
4. forced into marriage due to some situation (fake marriage or MOC is fine as long as she fully consents to it)
5. Conditioned to marry the ML (absolutely no)

Fake marriage or fake relationship or MOC (marriage of convinence) is fine as long as FL consents to it fully as it benefits her too, without being forced or coerced or manipulated into it by ML. Adult leads plz, not searching for ya.

Bonus,

1. FL and ML actually live separately and not with his big ass family
2. FL doesn't change her name and it's not romanticized.
3. No/Less age gap (idk why this is also bonus nowadays)

Some of the other things that I don't want,

1. Age gap more than 10 years
2. manipulative or cruel or alphahole ML
3. Over-controlling and over-possessive ML
4. Stockholm Syndrome or doormat FL
5. 'Sanskari' Bahu who endures everything cuz she 'respects' her husband and elders
6. Single Parent (I'll take single mothers if the book is too good to ignore)

MMC is shown concrete proof that FMC betrayed him. Maybe like voice chats, messages, photos, eye witnesses, contract, whatever.

The betrayal can be regarding anything, like she cheated on him, sold his companies' data, was spying on him, etc etc.

But, ladies and gentleman (if there's any), he absolutely refuse to believe it. Like, the trust he has in FMC is absolute. Even if the god/devil (whoever u believe in... or not) tells him that FMC is a liar/traitor, he wouldn't bat an eye.

I don't rly care if FMC rly did betray him or is being framed, he simply trusts her and is like 'even if she did something, he'll forgive her cuz he knows she must have a reason behind it and that he knows that she loves him.'

Also, I'd like a big drama around it, not the type where he didn't believe her, but due to external factors.

Bonus,

1. Office romance where MMC is the CEO/owner
2. Less spice
3. The one who blames the FMC is someone very close to MMC
4. Scene early in the book

Negatives,

1. Bully, HR, OV, RH, Too much mdom, Single Parent, Pregnancy
2. Toxic dynamics: manipulative or cruel MMC
3. Over-controlling and over-possessive MMC
4. Stockholm Syndrome or doormat FMC
5. Age-gaps more than 10 yrs (Absolutely no large age gap pairings with FMC under 24)
6. Third act breakups or MMC fucking up and groveling

Ok, so the MMC is the CEO/Owner/Director of the company and the FMC is his Secretary/PA/COO/CFO, basically someone who works directly under him and reports only to him.

Now he needs a fake date or marriage for some reason. Maybe to get rid of some rumors, inheritance, to make someone jealous, to show her they can be good together etc etc.

After the arrangement starts, he notices how much she overworks herself or he overworks her. Also, she should be a long term (at least 2-3 yrs) employee for him. He must fall first. Office Romance preferred.

Bonus,

1. He asks the her but she outright rejects cuz she doesn't gain anything from the arrangement or doesn't want to waste her time and energy doing something like that.
2. Slow Burn done right
3. Cold and Practical FMC who only cares about professional work

What I don't want,

1. Bully, HR, OV, RH, Too much mdom, Single Parent, Pregnancy in middle
2. Toxic dynamics: manipulative or unnecessarily cruel MMC
3. Over-controlling and over-possessive MMC
4. Stockholm Syndrome or doormat FMC
5. Age-gaps more than 6 yrs (Absolutely no large age gap pairings with FMC under 24)
6. FMC drowning in debt (I don't mind her in debt as long as she ain't much struggling to pay it)
