Like the title says.
All the clichés I find around wattpad that are deliverable to be avoided.
Warning: contains swearing and a lot of rants.
Any semblance is purely coincidental and none of the clichés are directed to any account or book unless sp...
Now this is a cliche you can find in thousands of books, professional, with hard copies, loved and cherished books as well.
The first chapter is usually...
A move.
That's right.
A move from somewhere to somewhere else where the main protagonist's life turns upside down completely.
For example, biggest one being Twilight. From Phoenix, Arizona to a small town, Forks, Washington (I never cease to be amazed why people would name a town after cutlery. That's a discussion for later.)
That begins with Bella moving to her father's place. And many author's follow the same, sadly.
For example:

(No offence to the 1940's music lovers, if any. No offence to Twihards either.)
Harsh but true. Everyone is always so negative about moving. Why can't they be happy for once maybe? Say, maybe they like it more where they are moved to.
And then;

Why move anyway?
I really liked the beginning of City of Bones when it all changes for Clary when she meets Jace. Same city and yet the different world.
Hats off to Cassandra Clare.
Why not just start a normal chapter with the main protagonist doing normal things? Making tea for example. Then say, a demon appears and asks for tea. (xD Going to use this.)
