Many people (actually I'm not talking about you in particular) don't understand that in Japan is the editor who decide the direction of the story, more than the lantana itself. That's why we often have cliches, because they works, people usually like them, and when a work start to become famous they make sure to include all the things the general public like and they are kinda desperate to keep the attention. For the same reason when a work is popular they drag it and I really hate that...
I get what you mean... but I hate it. I hate it cus it always gets to me lmao. Even if I've seen the scenario a hundred times, no matter what manga/manhua, I still cry. And that's what annoys me XD I'm not hating on the author for using cliches, cus I get that not everyone can be different and out-of-the-box. As someone who TRIED to go down the "writer" route, I do believe that using cliches is somewhat the 'safer' route as you can also ensure that you'll get some attention from the audience for it.
Why is it that whenever something good happens, it quickly gets destroyed with these kind of cliche accidents? TT^TT (I'M NOT TRYING TO THROW SHADE AT THE AUTHOR!!) But really... Ngl I didn't really like Aya... but then I cried in the last few pages.... WHY YOU PLAYING WITH OUR FEELS ANASHIN-SENSEI?!?! I'm legit crying so much... WHYYYYYYYYYY
