You make an excellent point. Most books are composed of the same tropes, and the difference relies on how the author manages and mixes those tropes.malik khaizran wrote: ↑06 Aug 2021, 05:05 Story characters live in the same world we live in and of course, they use elevators, visit the restaurant, watch movies and meet new people in these places. We cannot call it cliché. What matters is that how the writer describes that event and I find that meeting unique.
I did, however, find Zia to be unrelatable.

Hi! I agree some scenes (particularly the love triangle and finding two millionaires) were cliche. This is the first romance novel I have read in my entire life but I am an avid reader in general. Even I could see what was coming from a mile away, about who the killer was and the fact that a love triangle was going to be created. I found the fact that Zia's fiance did not dump her instantly even more shocking than the ending. That is what I assumed would happen. That did go against the "cliche" of how cheating changes a relationship dynamic. Was he too nice with her about it? I think he should have been extremely angry even if he later forgave Zia. His kindness about the affair also goes against the cliche.Fahad Baibras wrote: ↑03 Aug 2021, 13:19You are right, all stories from same genre do have some similarities (that's why they are the same genre) and they might sound cliche but it really depends upon the author on how she crafts it to fit the needs of the story.Novela book wrote: ↑03 Aug 2021, 04:15 Some scenes always come as cliche, but it doesn't mean the whole story gets affected. I agree this story has some cliche, how they meet and how she gets interested in the author. But as a whole, this is an amazing story to me.
Did the author handle the cliches appropriately? I do not think it was the worst writing, but improvements could be made to craft the story better.
