Number two, trend. Number two trend, that's not English. I just... Ugh. It drives me crazy. You know, the love's in my name is from English. You'll see how angry I am about this. I can't even speak. Hey guys, it's Jay and today I'm here with another top five Wednesday video. Top five Wednesday was originally created by Lany, over at Ginger Reads Lany, and is now run by Sam over on Thoughts on Tom's, so I believe both those links down below, as well as the Goodreads group. If you guys want to join us for the next topic and whatnot, so without further ado, let us get started. Wow. This week's topic is one that I could rant about for a million years, and it is supposed to be book trends that you are tired of. These are things that are like on covers or your typical things that show up in books that you are just done with. And honestly, I could list these all forever, but I just did the first five that came to my head. So... My number one is InstaLove. I feel like you should all know that this is my number one thing that I am just so done with. I don't understand why we can't have some more like slow-burning love. Why is it like you? Look at them and it's like I love you. I've just met you, but I love you. Like, no, don't work that way. In real life, like sure there might be a little bit of attraction, and it's like damn you fine. Damn you fine as well. Let's get to know each other, but it's not like let's get in a relationship in two seconds that I just saw you at least make out right now. Doesn't happen. Like I mean it might, but like most most likely, it ain't happening. So like simmer down, simmer down. The second trend that I see so often in books that I'm just so sick of, there's like two parts to this. First, I would like to say the whole inclusion of this is good, but the way that it's done is bad. I will get to that. Second trend is the inclusion of gay characters literally just forward the topic of being the gay best friend. Like why? Why? It drives me crazy. Like it's great that the author is including a gay character because we need more diverse characters, diversity. You know all that jazz. But why does it gotta be just for the purpose of being the gay best friend? Like can't they be the main character? I mean that would be nice. I'm just saying. That leads me to like the second part of this trope that I hate killing off the gay character. Why? Why don't you do that? I just don't understand. I mean like there are so many other people who can kill. Why do I kill the gay one? I just, it makes me angry. Can we just kill off the main character? I mean like that could be fun. Number three. I hate seeing female friendships where they hate each other but pretend to be best friends and is usually over a guy. Like no guy is worse than I'm his trouble. I just, why authors why? Just why do you do this to me? Like I just want to see some more like female female friendships that are like strong like truth which by Susan Denner. That's a great one. They're like super close and they love each other and you know they love each other and they're not going to let some stupid guy get in the way and it just drives me crazy. I just know which second part of this, second part. We need more male male friendships. That like they're not scared to show like affection to each other. Because it's like no homo when it's like why do you have to say that? Like you better friends you're allowed to like be gross like fisted up like it's a scrape, fist pound it. Like it just drives me crazy. I just need some more male friendships in my life. I just, uh. What's trend that I'm just so done with in books is like the brooding the steeriest bad boy. Like I like those types of guys when I'm reading but then like over the more I think of it, I'm like why can't we have like more the wee guys from Fangirl who are like little baby angel unicorns and so sweet like why can't we see that in books? Because honestly when I'm reading these mysterious bad boys I'm like dang I want to mystery bad boys but they always treat the girl like crap. And I'm just so sick of the whole treat like crap trope okay I just I don't need it. I'm so over it. I just, I need a man that's gonna treat me right okay and I need to see that in the book so I know I'm worth it you know what I'm saying. Teenagers read these books and they're like I want a guy like that and then it's like you're gonna be treated like shit so please find a Levi. I'm working on it we're working on totally bad things it's gonna happen one day. And then the last trend that I hate in books the fifth trope whatever you want to call it I hate novellas I hate them so much or like books where you're at the series and it's at like the eighth book and you're just like Linda listen like the series is dead move on we're done like we just need to get passed in the series right something else. It does nothing for the story you're just you're just trying to get more money. And I just know make something new that I can love as well you know what I'm saying. The selection series by Kira Kass the fourth and fifth book they just weren't needed like the fourth book okay fine like cool we're learning about the daughter but that fifth book man like what was the point of that you could have just combined the fourth and fifth book and they just a fourth book and it would have been equally you know you know what I'm trying to say it would have been equal it just would have worked out and I just now move on Linda move on. All right guys that said that was at my top five Wednesday. I'm sure that it didn't make a lot of sense because I just kind of started rambling and ranting and you can tell I don't script my video so he's not funny I'm over it. I will see you all in my next video. Goodbye.
