  • Today I'm borrowing the CZcams trope of watching a first and last episode and applying it to self-published stories from Wattpad! I managed to find a good smattering of tried and true Wattpad genres: the undercover teen romance, the billionaire arranged marriage romance, and the bad boy gangster romance. Is this video way too long? Yes. But did it at least yield an entertaining result? No.

    "Samantha Grey" sounds like the main character from a spinoff of fifty shades of grey that revolves around christian and anna's daughter who is a CEO just like her dad from that sweet sweet nepotism and ends up becoming more of a morally skewed degenerate than him.

    1:09 I have a lot of respect for all these young writers who have the dedication to stick to writing and put out Britannica-sized tomes between living the rest of their lives. Quality will come with practice and critique, but the work discipline and passion they already have are priceless qualities that differentiate the potential future pro from the forever hobbyist.

    @hurgenflerg2133 Před rokem +82

    I like how much crossover there is between these stories. The Sam Smith story has the same kind of romantic description of a sibling as The Bad Boy and the Tomboy, but then Sam Smith and the Devil Husband both have final chapters that start with people struggling to open doors, and all three of the stories in this video end with the return of a long-lost parent, three out of four of which immediately die.
    I mean, there are tropes and then there's whatever this is.

    Honestly that second story is kind of cute. I mean it's called Devil For A Husband but it ends on this really sweet and wholesome note of him reconciling with his mom, being happy and relieved that she didn't kill the evil ex antagonist, and this just absolutely incredible himbo moment with him not getting her cutesy pregnancy reveal. That on top of the vague business talk in the first chapter, it's honestly so endearing. I love that teen girl fantasies are either 'sexy bad boy love interest', 'wholesome dumb boy love interest' or 'my sexy bad boy love interest is actually a wholesome dummy'.

    • @jane-mulcahy
      @jane-mulcahy  Před rokem +10

      No I kind of agree! Like I said reading the description, most stories like that are like dark creepy abusive 'romances,' I was pleasantly surprised that it's basically just a tame Lifetime movie (with no explicit love making scenes) (because reading about intercourse is boring)
