I had to read a romance novel for my summer reading. (It claimed it was sci-fi, it really wasn't) I hated both the main character and the love interest. The main girl character was annoying and whiny and the love interest had no character flaws and every time he appeared the author had to describe his "curly autumn hair". I wanted to throw the book across my room.
and yeah I love edgy villains but DON'T SHIP THEM WITH THE HERO WHILE THEY ARE COMPLETELY UNREDEEMABLE*. like bill cipher x anyone confuses me, all the shipping fanarts of him have to make him out-of-character for the art to make any sense.
*ben solo doesn't count for me since the story is basically going in the redemption direction. but when i see reylo fanworks where he's still evil its uncomfortable for me
