Enemies to lovers, 1000%. I can never get enough of two hot-blooded enemies coming together for hot-blooded passion, especially if it's angsty and bitter and really requires both of them to compromise and acknowledge their desire as a team.

Tricking the antagonist so completely that when he thinks he's won you yank the confidence out from under him and it all comes crashing down.

Conservation of ninjitsu. Cut through hordes of enemies like grass on the field, but when it's one on one, you know sh**'s about to get serious.

Absolute best guilty pleasure trope that we love to read, but we'd never write.

Speak for yourself! I'm writing a romance and by god do I plan to splash some angst in there!

And in that case when we catch up on the stories we're review swapping with, then we'll keep your story in the back of our head for when we're free to read it.

Isekai, reincarnation, semi cliche villains... I know, I know, it's pretty generic.

I love a good love story. I don't care if it grinds the main plot to a halt, I just love a true love plot.

Non-powered human in a powered world. Dunno, I just like this trope because MCs written under it are usually either devious and ingenious or cocky bastards in personality, and there are no inbetweens.

II still have a soft spot for genderbenders even though I'm trans and have found far better actual trans representation written by trans authors it's still fun to read a goofy unrealistic tropey little gb.

Yamato Nadeshiko and the Western version. Politeness Judo. Flipped zombie fic (where everything is not the usual boring grey, brain eating mess). And of course, Monty Python.

I love the trope of two people with opposite personalities or opposing sides falling in love with each other. This means that I can never get tired of the cold person falling head over heels for the happy-go-lucky person. Moreover, there is also a villain falling for the good-hearted protagonist and trying to change for the better or eventually changing sides.

I just love sexy-schmexy. I don't need vulgarity or cruelty.
Just good honest naked fun. Or even good honest not naked fun.
I don't care. I just love it! ❤😻❤
