I'm going to continue the 30 days of anime and manga meme but I find that I don't have substantial things to say. It's better to be quiet than say empty words, right? So I post this instead.

Deadlbreakers:
Anything that needs a major AO3 warning.
Torture
Partner infidelity and betrayal.
Grim Dark. If I want to lose all my hope in humanity, I will read the news.
Character bashing. Just no. If you don't like the characters, just don't write about them.
Conforming to -isms. No need to explain.

Red Flag
First person narration. I tolerate it better in original fiction, but I prefers 3-rd person limited.
Gritty realism. See grim dark.
billed as Artistic/transcend the genre. It jut sounds snobbish to me.
Work in progress. I will only read those written by people I trust to finish it.
Non-con embarrassment
Villain protagonist. I like decent, characters that I can root for.
Brooding. Too much of it and it gets annoying.

Love at First Sight
A sense of wonder. A world to be explored. e.g. Kino's Journey, Kieli, Bandit King Jing, Planetary
Family by choice.
Clueless/Pining. Yes. I have been converted to a pairing because it promised to have years of pining, more than once.
Competent characters.
Tragic hero. Fighting the good fight not because they'll win, but because it's right.
Hope in the daunting time.
