The good guys win, girls don't get their periods or cramps, women's issues are non-existent, the main characters are always "clumsy" but then are super pretty/handsome, smart or good at combat. And no lgbtq+++ people get beaten up, harassed, or murdered in the streets for loving who they love.

I never got my hogwarts letter at 11, no one has knocked on my door telling me I'm long lost royalty, all the wardrobes I've walked into have a back, and I've never once had a moment where the sky shined upon me as the chosen one. I'm a few years away from Gandalf popping up like a daisy asking me if I want to go on an adventure.

There's still hope.

- A depressive detective that suffers PTSD and/or alcoholism solves an insolveable case on his own while finding love during the investigation

- Teenager are capable of handling even the most extreme situations, from fighting in a death arena with minimal training to messing up a whole military base during an alien invasion

- The bad guys are never fully able to win. No matter the ressources or power they have, the good guys always overpower them and never have to face restrictions or consequences what so ever.

- Everything is possible for the protagonist; being it by a Deus Ex Machina, being born as the chosen one or through pure willpower. Failing is no option and if it happens it's not significant.

- The creepy person is somebody special with loveable attributes and turns out as the best chance for being a love interest.

- It takes only one (maximal two) days to learn any skill, no matter if it's knitting or engineering cold fusion reactors

- The misfit is the one ending up with power or in the overall best position. Bullies and people mistreating the misfit always have something bad happen to them.

I've been reading romance novels since I was 11 (started out with Harlequin romance - remember those?). It has screwed up every single relationship I've ever had. Still waiting for my Fabio look alike, Scottish, Alpha-Male, Duke to come and sweep me off of my feet and whisk me to the Maldives on his private jet, where I'll be lavished with unnecessary luxury. He will love me unconditionally and be faithful until the day we die.

Books: They were wrote by authors that happen to have 5 elements that are called Characters, Conflict, Settings, Plot and Theme. They help us understand the story so what doesn’t happen in life is what happens in books - Talking Animals, Robots malfunctioning itself and etc.
Real Life: We do normal stuff like play, sleep, eat, run and etc. But we prefer something more than books like video games and TV
