Is it just me or are straight romance running out of ideas these days... I scroll in tiktok once in awhile for recommendations and it's all villainess or some form of reincarnation manhwa. This trope is milked so much I gen want something new. Not anything in highschool. Not anything CEO. Something new.

    i’ve thought abt this, too!! back when villainess tropes were starting out, it was super common to see them be original and unique in their premises while also having that trope be their backboard to stand on but now it’s just gotten so common and muddy that none of them seem that original anymore. it’s like seeing hundreds of snowflakes all swirling around, like yeah they’re all original in the minute but as soon as u zoom out they all look and sound the exact same. i just wish there was more to the stories than just the premise, like character growth that’s not just “i change my mind, i wanna have feelings for the people around me!” yk?
