Reasons to HATE your book

Rushing

This is about the piece of the characters relationships not the amount of time it takes to write.

But that is a good topic though

Anyway, so to further explain this I mean when the characters practically just met and already forms a deep ass bond. In love, in a lovers type of relationship, best friends, a parent type of bond, etc. Unless it has to do with the actually plot like an attachment disorder, love at first sight, etc etc, this is cringy and very unrealistic (not that these situations don't occur in real life because they might but 9 times out of 10 they don't last considering a house won't stand with a weak foundation).

Usually for me, not speaking for everyone but I'm sure somebody somewhere agrees or does the same, when I'm reading a good ole romance and the two or however many love interests meet, then all of a sudden(say about a day to two weeks IG) one or more of the characters thoughts be like, "am I falling in love?" Or they're already confessing their love for each other and I instantly exit.

It really irks my soul but sometimes I actually do continue to read if I'm really book hungry, the plot is irresistible, or I liked how the story was going before that bombshell. Rarely though.

I don't think I really have to give tips on how not to do this but I will anyway

For one if you're going to do this, drag out that short space of time through as many chapters ass you can. I read this one story I was to like the 19 chapter and it had only been about a week maybe and the I love yous came and I didn't mind or even really notice. So this is basically rushing it without the actual rushing part.

You have to convey the emotions and journey the characters have been through articulately. Not only is it better for the story as a whole but readers eat it up. Says me sh. Can only speak from personal experience.

Don't just throw everything out at once and expect the readers to catch it and remember it. Have a nice, decent where you're introducing things at a nice pace, it enforces the thought. Unless you're going for that consistent dropping bombs type of thing, but that's more for plot twists(in my opinion) which are delicious.

Take a moment to think about what you've written. Maybe even do some research. People can only form attachments so fast, we're not ducklings (unless the characters are ducklings or some other creature). Do you think it'll only take YOU a week, or even a month to fall in love? Try to put yourself in the characters' shoes. Think the way they should think. What they've been through, their personalities. Quality takes time, so don't be afraid to take your time. But don't over do it or people will lose interest.

I'm going to end this here.

One. I don't know why I keep making these at the crack of dawn's asshole.
Two. I'm not licensed in anything so you really don't have to take my word for it I'm just speaking from readers (my) point of view and giving my standing point on common things I come across. That make my soul wither
Three. I don't edit nor reread any of these– yes I'm a hypocrite never said I wasn't – so there will be obvious mistakes I don't really care to go back and correct
Four. How are you fine folk doing? Doing great I hope.
