Stories you hate.

[widower72]

The question here is I want to know what kind of stories do you absolutely hate. Now to clarify I do not mean any specific stories, but more along of story genre.

I will start off. What I absolutely hate is where the spouse gets cuckold. He/she hates it and does nothing about it. It does not have to be a BTB. If the spouse just leaves I'm fine with it.

I don't care for that either. Or Hot Wives, Incest, Sci Fi, or Scat.

LTB or Lobotomize the Bitch.

It’s where the pursued character is so damn stupid it hurts. Why do people fantasize that stupid is attractive? Is it the fear that someone with average or better intelligence wouldn’t want them?

 

[SimonDoom]

I can't think of any type of story that I hate. If it's well written I can probably enjoy it, regardless of genre or category.

Incest

I absolutely have no idea whatsoever how the incest thing has taken off like it has in lit AND porn. Make zero sense to me. So I get that style, but moreso how it has become SO ubiquitous.

 

[MelissaBaby]

I just don’t read what I find distasteful, so I don’t “hate” them, I just dismiss them. The stories I dislike the most are interracial stories that dehumanize black
men and turn them into little more than living sex toys. I realize that is not unique to Interracial stories, but I find it particularly irksome in that context

I stopped using pornhub for that reason. I don't understand the incest kink either.

The allure of the forbidden. But it’s a creepy one. It must be big with only children. Anyone who actually had brothers or sisters to grow up bickering with could not see past the irritation of how much time that sibling spent in the bathroom to find them sexually attractive.

I can confirm that's what it is for me. The only aspect of incest stories I like is with siblings because I'm an only child. I have cousins that are like siblings, but I could never see them that way.
That being said, I'm really picky about incest stories. If an entire family breaks out into an inexplicable orgy, I won't read it. Sexual situations with a parent? Not for me.

I don't think you can make any generalizations about what sort of people like these stories. It's a huge and varied audience. I read and write these stories but am not an only child. In real life I never fantasized about parents or siblings. Erotica preferences often do not match up with real life fantasies.

I dislike Lit stories where the woman/female/girl gets pregnant (i.e. outside of marriage, etc.). Especially where that outcome is the expressed goal of the male. Bringing a child into the world is a fearsome responsibility. Yes, sometimes the story goes on to relate how the man and woman raise the child together, but that is rarely part of the story. Better when she is on the pill, has had her tubes tied, or even that he has had a vasectomy. Then they can fuck and spread all the uninhibited sperm they want without the concern of pregnancy.

 

[Hypoxia]

I dislike the badly-written. I generally avoid various fetishes but if I'm reading an authors catalog I'll try everything. As for incest -- I don't read it but I write a lot, not because it's my kink (it's totally not) but because 1) many readers and 2) incest stories are a puzzle to write something so unbelievable.

 

[ElectricBlue]

"Hatred" to me is an active emotional engagement with something, which implies to me that the reader goes out of their way to find and read these stories, to inflame and fuel that hatred.

If you mean are you "disinterested" in a category that's a different thing altogether - it means you have no interest in that category at all, don't read it, don't emotionally respond to it, it's just a nothing category. For example, I don't understand non-con and reluctance at all, they're a foreign concept to my sexual philosophy, so I don't read those stories, ever. Do I "hate" them? No, I've only ever read one or two, when I first found Lit, and found them very distasteful, and haven't read any since. So my emotional engagement is zero.

 

[Bill_Cosplay]

I don't hate stories. That's too strong a word. But there certain types of stories that I'll put down because I find no pleasure in reading them.

Examples of what I won't read because I find nothing interesting about them:

1. Perfect Heroes that the author is absolutely in love with. They set the standard the first time, every time, and the author is so scared to cause them pain that they are never in any danger.
   
2. Obnoxious and overpowered heroes: not only is everything easy for them, but they're jerks while doing it and everyone in the story thinks that they are great for acting like the do.
   
3. Stories that borrow too closely from their source material. If every scene is a recognizable scene from a more famous story, I'll put the story down. It works for a satirical half hour in a sitcom, but not for short stories.
   
4. Scat, pedo, stories that come across as a fictitious biography of the writer's hate or depraved perversions (those stories feel like a tale wish fulfillment). There are revenge stories in Loving Wives that come across like that.
   
5. Preachy stories.

Some readers on this site seem to lack a sense of humor and strongly dislike any stories with comedic elements.

I have copped a few negative comments for committing the terrible crime of just attempting to make people laugh.

In my writings, a complete lack of concern for either STIs or unwanted pregnancies is part of the fantasy.

Pregnancy, as a part of kink, makes some sense to me in romance. I’m not interested in titles like “Bearing my Duke’s twin heirs” or something, but I k ow women who love that.

I draw the line at stories about surpise babies or unilateral procreation decisions.

 

[Kantarii]

I rarely read stories on Lit now that I’ve started submitting my own. As far as the few stories I do read in the categories that interest me, there’s nothing I would say “I hate” per se. I run across a few with serious grammatical errors or plot holes, but I remind myself that when I started submitting stories I was probably worse. I’ve come a long way since then and I can respect anyone brave enough to submit a story regardless of how it will be received.

Bottom line: if it doesn’t interest me, I just move on to something that does.

I've always thought that the worst types of stories are those set in reality but which have totally unrealistic plots.

For example, say a writer has a thing about tall girls. They could write a real world story about a girls' college basketball team, or a married couple where the wife is six feet two. They could write a sci-fi or fantasy story about a futuristic world where the only remaining humans are women over six feet tall, who reproduce asexually. But a story set in an ordinary office such as a legal firm or accounting practice where all female employees are inexplicably over six feet tall is too unrealistic, and therefore not a good premise.

Or they could write a story about a man who is four feet tall.

Thank you!!!!!

Personally, I also hate the similar trend of authors not researching any of that so-called “realism” when developing the characters and plot. Just an example for sake of argument: the protagonist is a pilot who has sex with women all over the world, but the author hasn’t done any research into what a typical commercial pilot’s flight routes or schedules are like.

I get it that we’re writing smut, but it takes so little effort to create realistic scenarios from the most basic Google searches....

As a side note, I think it’s interesting that a handful of commenters have said they hate incest genre and how it’s “taken off.” I personally write incest stories because I’m a classicist; great Western literature has had underlying incest relationships since Oedipus. From Henry Fielding and Daniel Defoe to Ralph Ellison and there’s even incest in Harry Potter. I have my own personal theories of why incest remains fascinating, but I would humbly ask other authors to keep an open mind to it, solely as a literary platform. As an incest writer, I use it because I like to consider primal questions about social order and mores.

Happy weekend, all!

That neglect can work in parodies (details twisted) and strokers (details irrelevant). I mostly aim for reality but ignore it for a good gasp or laugh.

And LIT incest is totally unreal. Players and settings may be based on reality but the acts are 99.91% fantasy. IRL incest and some fetishes are ugly so they're tarted-up here. Then we have cucks, and BtBs, and rapes that end well. Right. This is LIT fantasyland. Be entertaining, not too truthful.

One of the reasons it's big on Literotica is that a lot of the major outlets (Amazon, etc.) either ban or heavily restrict it.

 

[LupusDei]

Hate is a word much too strong to be attributed to stories. However it is concise if we accept the hyperbole. So why not.

In more general terms I would say, I hate stories where author attempt to hold moral highground or his own strong opinions and judge his own characters (as opposed to letting characters to judge each other). Part of Burn-The-Bitch stories could be obvious candidates for this, but I do not read Lowing Wifes section, not normally (accidentally I can end up reading just about anything sometimes). However, we all write propaganda, one way or another, just try to make it subtle and tasty and not so obvious.

Sure there's a number of kinks I don't particularly care for, but if the writing is good I can slip in character and at least attempt to understand. If not, I just leave without hate.

Now, there is a story line I may fall into and follow through but that do disturb me (and I think that's what OP have in mind but calls hate as secondary reaction): consenting to absolute slavery. Chasing public nudity I have learned to accept willing submission and tolerate even humiliation sluts, and just selectively ignore some aspects of pain sluts, and non-consent don't disturb me. But this one kink does, and I mean, I understand that can be someone's kink to ponder over that "last decision ever" and then giving herself (it's usually a girl) over unconditionally. Still, there's so much wrong with that, I won't even attempt to unpack, but in my opinion that shouldn't ever happen, If for no other reason, I don't believe it can be truthful to self.

Ah, and mention of non-consent reminded me, the "she liked it at the end only because that's required to publish" trope is if anything actively toxic. I can't hate it because it is in fact a non-consent requirement for non-consent stories, so in a way meta-non-consent, but it is disturbing too.

This. This a thousand times. I like reluctance and non consent fantasies, but the mandated "she says no but she really wants it" is scary and sickening to me. It's FAR more distasteful than the things it bans.
