#QuestionOfTheDay what's a common thing in media (mechanic in a game, plot point, stage design, character type, trope, filmmaking technique/shot, writing style, etc etc etc) that you don't necessarily dislike but you hate when it's used unnecessarily/inappropriately/too often/etc

@ami_angelwings as I'm primarily in the reading webnovels space, litrpg. The idea of game-ifying a person's capabilities. Done right it can be a great addition. But I constantly see it done oh so wrong and used as powerscaling crutch. Instead of being the driving force behind a character's development, it should only ever serve as a more digestible representation of the skills they've earned themselves, not by killing the same monster a dozen times for example

@mstar yesssss.

I can and have enjoyed LitRPG-based stories, but yegods so many of them are laaaaaaazyyyyyy.
