Why do authors decide to make their characters to be over 20 when they can't write the character to act like an actual full grown adult? Those uni bls with the immature, jumpy and blushy mc over the toxic love interest is one example. Like if you're gonna go with that trope you might as well make it a high school romance. It's more reasonable for a teenager to act so fucking stupid instead of a grown ass man who has already gone through military service
You can really tell their target demographic is 14-17 year old socially inept high school girls because it's the only demographic outside literal children who can look at the "conflicts" and think they are reasonable and well written 1 reply
