    What is the worst story plot you could ever come up with? One with no proper plot or lesson. Or maybe what is the worst plot you've read?

    I never liked world-hopping novels always hated that they leave even though I know the point is to move on I always feel like you can flesh out more from those stories

    It's a guy whose dog ran away. So he sets out to find it, but stumbles on a dragon cave and kills all the baby dragons to get their gold. Now that he's rich he runs for presidency. Gets married and has 3 kids, divorces, remarries a younger model. Goes at war with a country and gets elected a second time. But then he stumbles over a newspaper and falls. And bam, amnesia. So he sets out to find his dog. And finds his cadaver, because it's been too long. Thus he ingests a lot of sleeping pills and kills himself.

    Never been a fan of Mary/Gary Sues.
    I mean, a little is fine. What OP MC doesn't have a little Sue-ness? But when every problem they face ends up either 1: being solved by their Uber rich and famous significant other so they won't be bothered 2: gets hand waved away by their sheer "awesomeness"(tm) or 3: physics, probability and everyone in the entire the world bends to make whatever was the problem, not be a problem anymore and praise the MC for their excellent conflict resolution.... It's tiresome at best.
    Give me conflict with consequences! MC's with feelings besides smug arrogance, naive bliss, denseness, and holier than thou disgust.
    I know that's not a plot issue, it's a character one, but the stories that go with these sorts of characters feel all the same.

    Hashiro woke up to a new world of magic and boobs.

    " Ah! Truck-kun! Thank you!"

    On his first day he came pass a prince, with a parade of voluptuous fair beauties following him. Each capable of toppling countries with their presence.


    Hashiro was instantly drowned in self loathing and jealousy, his eyes turned red his breath heated and with grinding teeth he swore to the heavens

    " I swear upon my name, I will bed each and every one of those women, and many more in this life. I will make that prince crawl between my legs. If not let my name be reversed and let me not be a man"


    And there began the chronicles of Hashiro and his Harem of Cosmos. "



    Reporter- Hashiro Kodatsu-san, ah..isn't the title a bit long?

    Hashiro kodatsu- the title is the face readers see for the first impression, with a story such as mine with such a vast and immense plot it is only normal to have the title like

    "Hashiro woke up to a new world of magic and bo.."

    Reporter- HASHIRO-SAAN! Yes we know the title...hahaha*nervous laugh* now could you tell about the story itself?


    Hashiro kodatsu- *deep puff of cig* simple, it is my autobiography.


    Reporter - ah..hahaha*nervous laugh* Hashiro San you joke very well. How could a harem fantasy with nonsense like truck-k..


    Hashiro Kodatsu- YoU DaRe InSuLt TrUcK kUn?!

    *Flips table*.


    Video fades to black.

    Reminds me of a critique of 12 minutes, a horror video game, I recently saw.
    The ending is that it was all a dream the protagonist was having because his subconscious tried to deal with the fact that he tricked his half-sister to marry him after killing their dad and now she's pregnant and he feels a bit bad

    There are lots of boring, face-slapping novels but those are way too obvious. You usually just drop them within the first few chapters. The worse plot I've ever read was a world hopping novel where the protagonist, an epic level DND monk, was doing missions like becoming world renown doctor, artist, etc. This went on for so many worlds that I just dropped the novel. It made me wonder why the author even bothered to make the protagonist a DND monk.
