Question of the day:
Which, in y'all's opinion, do you believe to be the worst thing or aspect when it comes to fanfictions?
I would have to say, for me, it would honestly have to be the harem side. Hear me out, for as long as I've been here, since my early years of high school, I've come to develop something of a love-hate relationship when it comes to the process of making harems for any media here on this platform. While yes, I'll admit I do enjoy them and most of the stories I read are harem ask, the problem I have with some of them is when either they have too much, don't develop all that well, or essentially become a total "gotta smash every female that's breathing". It's even worse when it gets to the point where most fanfics aren't even the story, but the image portion of any female from an anime, cartoon, or video game. I'll say I've been guilty of this in the past and want to do better, and even now, most stories that aren't harem focus are great. Plus, as I said earlier, writers who can do well with having harem stories, but are able to execute it well, are incredible reads for me, in which they can balance it out with the story they're trying to convey.
