Please read the description before reading this story (or rant rather)~
I'll start this again, this is not a hate rant or a diss to any ambw couples out there. This isn't to offend any fellow ebony sistas that like and or find Asian men attractive. Nor is this a 'diss' to Asian men who like or find Black women attractive. No this is just me addressing some of the things I find unnecessary, annoying, and or just friggin' stupid when it comes to most Ambw stories I've read thus far. (Which are a lot btw) Hopefully, after reading this rant many of you will agree with me, and attempt to write new material.
Maybe if you've written some of the crap I'm talking about, you'll rewrite/edit your material. (I highly suggest most of ya do that tbh because...*Sigh* some of yall's stories are wack, straight up trash)
Enjoy curious ones.

Alright here I go, I guess I'll start off with the Writing. Most ambw stories usually start off interesting and have some really good plots. However, the writers seem to find a way to make the story less interesting after the first three chapters. When I read the descriptions, I expect some well-written stuff with decent pacing, development, and dialogue. SMH boy am I always disappointed. ( when it comes to ambw stories that is)
Ok, I know that that may have seemed harsh, but I know some of you can surely agree with me. Especially when I state that some of these stories have a lack of pacing. If it's not paced, it is extremely rushed, and by that, I mean too many time skips. There's nothing wrong with having time skips in stories, but when writing a love story please take your time. It is important to write romance at a steady pace.
Seriously WTF are you rushing for? I've noticed that usually when reading ambw, the writer speeds things up to a kiss or sex scene. (that would be acceptable if it were a one-shot but... there has yet to be one so that really isn't necessary) If it's not rushed writing, the story lacks details when it comes to characters personality traits. Their interest, dislikes, goals, and morals aren't explored. (or if explored aren't explored enough) As the story goes on, the characters interest and individual goals are dropped or forgotten.
If such things are brought up again, it usually happens when the story is damn near over or irrelevant. I like to read about a character's dreams, morals, and personality traits. I really do care if they achieve their goals or if they act upon or lose their morals. It is important to see a character grow, gain, and or lose. Like, come on, ever heard of character development?
Oh and let's not forget the dialogue and grammar. Ok don't get me, wrong everyone slips up on grammar. But come on readers shouldn't have to struggle to read or dissect ambw stories. It makes the reader want to give up. Now the dialogue, also known as the conversation between characters, is usually written in a decent manner.
Could be better but decent enough. What I mean is, the conversation doesn't have to be about shallow topics. Some authors (notice how I stated some not all just some ok) of these stories tend to waste chapters of the main characters talking about bland crap. Like, give the conversations some depth a bit; keep the readers awake.
A/N
