Romans & histoires Plot Cliches

Or an alien? I know, I know. I am stupid. Like, this is so cliche. This is how most characters in a cliche movie gets killed. And I am doing it. Why? Curiousity. And I want to satisfy my curiousity. Like, what's with the sound? Yeah. You're stupid. Why do you even get A's? Stupid brain insulting me.

This is such a cliché scene. But there is always a reason why cliché scenes are still loved by fans. Hayden appears at a time when Sarah is in danger. Reminds you of many stories that describe how a princess can escape all her problems just by the presence of a big and charming prince. That scene was always right before the princess lost her life. Oh, how lucky Sarah is. I'm really sick of all the repetition going on in this world that keeps me from getting rid of it. As if like each of these characters must obey the classic rules in fairy tales. Where now, I became the villainess, again.

You should have been nominated for Oscars. From now on, I will disappear from your sight, you jerk. Let us see if you will really die. I will kill you with my own hands if you won’t. I wish you will get impotent for doing this to me. Having babies that will eventually grow up like you will not be good for the human race. What was that cliché line again? I always hear it from people nowadays. They are correct. Ignorance is bliss. I think this line was invented by a person who got hurt when he knew something that cannot be knew if you are not smart. I wish I am not smart.

"Oh, please! I'm nothing like those sickly annoying clichés the teenagers fawn about. Tell me one thing that's cliché about me, I dare you." I smirked at him. "Hmm... let's see." I thought for a while and made a show of counting my fingers as I started listing out. "For one, you're that clichéd youngest billionaire, the most eligible bachelor." I made finger quotation gesture at that. "And oh, how can I forget the arrogant, rude, ruthless, cold, stone-hearted, cru-"

The moment appeared like a small, lightweight, wooden box which could be blown away by the gentle, afternoon breeze of Spring. In that smoking-room, it didn’t even matter that while battling my first conscious struggle while chasing the year’s biggest pursuit, I had discovered my life-long pursuits: Junali and stories. In fact, the entire episode felt like a rotten formula film script. Something that most of you are tired of watching, reading, conceiving, writing, re-writing and scrapping. Cliché.

It was a cliche story. It was those kinds of stories in which an average office worker transmigrated into a novel and saved herself from a bad fate. It was one of those kinds of cheap stories that I knew how it would end… but I couldn't stop myself from reading it. There was magic, action, drama, shitty ex-fiancees, and love triangles.

She read it all an impressive speed and patted his shoulder. “This is one of the harder types to decide on. It’s clearly going to capture readers’ interest even if they can tell what’s roughly going to happen because it’s quite cliché. It’s tough in the fiction market- you can write the most brilliant and unique story, but readers will pass it up in favour of a cliché and substanceless story.” Zach could understand the frustration of authors trying to write their magnum opus and having it continually rejected by different publishers in favour of much trashier stories. It was undeniably hard to make it as an author in certain genres.

“What’s wrong with you two? One spacing out, the other crying like crazy?” Yvonne sniffled. “Waaah, the female lead died of cancer! Why do novels always go with car accidents, cancer, and long-lost siblings?! So annoying!” Goselle comforted her. “It’s cliché, but at least it’s better than mine. Mine’s so boring.” Then she turned to me. “What about you? You’ve been reading forever and you’re still on page two?” I closed the book. “Mine’s not good either.”

He hums. I continue speaking. “You know, almost the same thing happens in every romantic movie. Still, it’s just so…perfect. The whole meetcute, love at first sight, enemies to lovers, fake relationships. All those cliche troupes are the best. I just can’t get enough of them.” I continue talking. “Then something silly and inconsequential happens and they have a big fight.” Ronan mumbles.

The worst-case scenario is when a sincere heart meets one that feels nothing. "Alright, fine. Then you should explain things to him properly. At the very least, you must clear the air regarding Kyle. Don't let it turn into one of those 'misunderstanding' tropes; that would be way too melodramatic. We the audience hate that stuff—it's such a tired old cliché." Candice was coaxed into a laugh. "Do you think Kyle spent all night studying old-school soap operas?" Sophia nodded solemnly. "It’s possible. That vibe he had... it was like he was possessed by a 'Green Tea' second female lead."
