    GODAMNIT you made me remember now !

    https://www.novelupdates.com/series...ut-with-this-unique-skill-i-am-the-strongest/
    Basically receptionist girl kiss MC on the lips and next chapter, NOTHING ! NADA ! NIET ! As if it never happened ! It makes the reader wonder if there was a rewrite on the available chapters when there was next chapter and you missed it !
    We cross with each other——Chyuu~

    A wet sound was heard, and I felt a warm and soft feeling.

    …………………………Kiss?

    I finally realized what was happening after 10 seconds have passed.

    I was taken aback and moved back a bit, there, Elza’s face was bright red while holding her mouth.

    [I, I’m sooooooo soooooorrrrryyy! I didn’t mean it that way]

    (TLN: Oh you do ( ?° ?? ?°) )

    I panicked whilst trying to explain myself.

    This is bad, this is really bad.

    This incident of taking her lips, this is unforgivable.

    [This incident—Wait it’s not like that, I’m so sorry. If it’s within my capability I can do—]

    She’s desperately trying to explain herself. But

    Chyuu.

    [……Eh.]

    I felt a wet, and a warm feeling

    A Kiss.

    Elza gave me a kiss.

    [Eh, Elza?]

    [It wasn’t an accident.]

    [Eh?]

    [I don’t want it to be an accident.]

    [Th, this is…]

    [Because it’s Ryouta-san that’s why I did it.]

    When she said this, her face became even redder than before. She touched her lips, and ran back inside the store.

    Before realizing what just happened, I stood there dazed.


    What about this series ?
    https://www.novelupdates.com/series/ore-no-ongaeshi-high-spec-murazukuri/
    FL said she is now an adult to MC, MC say people are adult later in Japan, FL said she is gonna wait or something.
    She even asks if he like kids, how many kids would be nice for a couple or some bullshit. Saying she will work hard for it after the number he gave.

    Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms
    Legend of Ling Tian
    Red Packet Server

    Any, and practically nearly all forms of wish fulfillment. Satire and good comedy can negate and salvage it.

    Extreme self centered-ness, utter hypocrisy (esp morals), and ridiculous jingoism comes next, but all of these are very common in wish fulfillment.

    with the personalities of those mc if the author what them to get any it is that, or whores

    o yes indeed
    those mc get have kill list longer then al his opponent put together with half of them because they where at the wrong place at the wrong time, got a item the mc wanted (urgg) or looked at or said something wrong to the mc or his girl(s)
    en the author still praises him for being the most kind and forgiving person to ever walk the planet

    Every 'smexy' or 'propaganda inducing' scene in god and devil world.
    The romance in most chinese novel.
    When the mc compares a girls beauty to jade.
    Everytime an mc starts admiring a girl's wrist.
    When an ml says 'you belong to me' to a male/female mc.
    When mc forgives ml for raping her.

    When Chinese authors write about different countries.
    In Rebirth: How a Loser Became a Prince Charming during the whole America arc I had to stop reading when the exchange student from Africa fought thieves off using a blow-dart and spear. :notlikeblob::notlikeblob::notlikeblob:

    In Chinese novels that concerns modern day.
    Racism / Propaganda / when they write about other countries. :v
    In Chinese cultivation novels.
    Rape = Female falling in love with the m.c later
    Crowd of commentators saying Expert this expert that. Righteous this Righteous that.

    Japanese Novels
    M.C Being a dense afk making me think if he's brain dead when the female is clearly saying and expressing she is in love with him
    M.C being 30 years old or more. Making his background have like a Super soldier or hitman level and
    then when it comes to women that get's close to him or is in love with him, he get's flustered like a 16 year old holding hands with a girl for the first time.

    Korean
    Don't know about this. Rarely read korean novels and they are usually good.
