Obviously, we had Trump, McConnell and a host of others of this ilk to prove that we are living in a Stephen King novel, and not reality.

“Hey, sis!” “Hey little bro!” Why would anyone address their sibling that way unless they want to make it VERY obvious they’re related?? No one does that(that I know of). Usually I just say “hi Demon 1”

- A depressive detective that suffers PTSD and/or alcoholism solves an insolveable case on his own while finding love during the investigation
- Teenager are capable of handling even the most extreme situations, from fighting in a death arena with minimal training to messing up a whole military base during an alien invasion
- The bad guys are never fully able to win. No matter the ressources or power they have, the good guys always overpower them and never have to face restrictions or consequences what so ever.
- Everything is possible for the protagonist; being it by a Deus Ex Machina, being born as the chosen one or through pure willpower. Failing is no option and if it happens it's not significant.
- The creepy person is somebody special with loveable attributes and turns out as the best chance for being a love interest.
- It takes only one (maximal two) days to learn any skill, no matter if it's knitting or engineering cold fusion reactors
- The misfit is the one ending up with power or in the overall best position. Bullies and people mistreating the misfit always have something bad happen to them.

People getting the absolute crap beaten out of them & tending to their own wounds. Broken ribs/ankle? Wrap it up! Deep cuts? Stitch it yourself or cauterize it! Then go somewhere remote to recover.

In books nobody ever has to to poop. They're forever stopping to eat or grab some coffee or whatever, but never go to the bathroom. As a child I learned, Everybody Poops😁

I've been reading romance novels since I was 11 (started out with Harlequin romance - remember those?). It has screwed up every single relationship I've ever had. Still waiting for my Fabio look alike, Scottish, Alpha-Male, Duke to come and sweep me off of my feet and whisk me to the Maldives on his private jet, where I'll be lavished with unnecessary luxury. He will love me unconditionally and be faithful until the day we die.

The unimportant characters can die of an arrow in their leg while the important ones can survive boing crushed by a cat, stabbed 19 times, missing a limb and being shot in the head.

The hero and heroine always hate each other before they fall in love. It’s such a cliche in books but I’ve never heard of it happening in real life.

No smoke damage. For real, it's dangerous and there's always no lasting damage in the books. I would be coughing for DAYS.
