    A pet peeve of mine is some of the Chinese novel covers has these too realistic faces that are unattractive

    A novel with a bunch of girls on the cover. That just screams harem, and I avoid that like the plague.

    If there is a series that somehow indicates the following, abandon it: an SJW nagging Flat-Earth mother-in-law who lives in a van down by the river with Seymour, a Chris Walken-sounding and silent film-watching vegan cannibal zombie moose!

    Yea I like BL and litarary BL is just basically the suffering of being outcasted and unaccepted. I like it when MC suffer. Something like Metamorphosis or Madame Bovary.

    same. And those covers featuring a voluptous female that screams LASCIVIOUS MALE + HAREM. I used to dislike those silhouettes of a man against a fantasy eastern landscape backdrop but they're so common that I kinda think they're fine now. But still too common.
