What Are The Most Cringe Wattpad Stories Ever Written?

I've spent way too many late nights scrolling through Wattpad, and some stories just make me want to facepalm so hard. There's this one called 'The Bad Boy's Obsession' where the 'bad boy' literally breaks into the girl's house to watch her sleep, and it's portrayed as romantic. Another gem is 'My Brother's Best Friend,' where the brother's best friend is a billionaire CEO at 18 who falls for the MC after she trips and spills coffee on him—classic. And let's not forget 'I'm Pregnant with the Vampire King's Baby,' which is exactly what it sounds like. The dialogue is so stiff, and the plot twists are laughably predictable. These stories often rely on overused tropes like instant love, toxic relationships framed as passion, and characters with zero depth. It's like they're trying to outdo each other in absurdity.

Wattpad has given us some truly unforgettable cringe, and I’m here to break it down. The worst offenders often fall into the 'bad boy' or 'supernatural romance' categories. Take 'The Alpha’s Forbidden Mate,' where the werewolf alpha growls 'mine' every five seconds, and the female lead has the personality of a soggy towel. The writing is so repetitive it feels like the author just discovered the thesaurus button. Then there’s 'The Billionaire’s Contract Wife,' where the billionaire is inexplicably obsessed with a random girl who has no notable qualities except being 'not like other girls.' The plot is a mess of clichés, from the accidental pregnancy to the villainous ex-girlfriend who exists solely to create drama.

Another category is the 'celebrity fanfiction' that’s so poorly disguised it hurts. 'One Direction’s Secret Baby' is a prime example—Harry Styles falls in love with a fan after she, surprise, has his baby. The dialogue is cringeworthy, with lines like 'I never knew love until I saw you holding our son.' These stories often ignore basic logic, like how a 17-year-old is somehow a CEO or a vampire king. The worst part? They’re weirdly addictive, like watching a train wreck in slow motion.

As someone who’s read way too many Wattpad stories, I’ve developed a sixth sense for cringe. The absolute pinnacle has to be 'The Demon King’s Human Pet,' where the demon king—who’s supposedly terrifying—immediately becomes a simp for the MC because she’s 'different.' The story is full of awkward phrasing, like 'his crimson orbs burned with desire,' and the romance feels more like stalking. Another classic is 'The Bad Boy’s Stolen Bride,' where the MC gets kidnapped by a mafia boss but falls in love with him because he’s hot. The plot holes are big enough to drive a truck through, and the characters make decisions that defy all logic.

Then there’s the 'high school romance' genre, where the football captain is inexplicably obsessed with the shy bookworm. 'The Quarterback’s Weakness' is a masterclass in bad writing, with lines like 'her innocence called to the darkness in his soul.' These stories often glorify toxic behavior, like jealousy and possessiveness, as signs of true love. The worst part is how predictable they are—you can guess the entire plot from the first chapter. Yet, they’re weirdly entertaining, like junk food for the brain.
