#wn is very kind but he has shown how cruel he can be and how much resentment he feels!

I am very boring and picky, so there are few things I've discovered I don't enjoy reading (at least, for now; people grow and change):
Becoming a fierce corpse. I think it's a terrible situation! You don't need to sleep, eat, heal and if it has positive aspects (you are super strong and lethal), what does life mean to you? What do you even enjoy? Fierce corpses are made of resentful energy, they are full of hatred and resentment; how do they feel? And when the resentment isn't there anymore, what would happen to them?
Being a demonic cultivator. In the novel Imo is quite clear how wwx is fucked up by the resentful energy (me looking at jzx's death), without considering the cultural contest. So, I would love a character who practices demonic cultivation and then spirals in madness and grief (yeah, the yling patriarch' downfall is my favorite arc), but I've seen writers going literally the opposite side, so, ugh.
Fixing everything. Why would you do that? Idk if it's born from the conviction that if someone has good intentions, then they will succeed and everything will be fine. Everyone in mdzs has good intentions! Everyone is trying their best with what they have! But that doesn't fix shit, instead it makes things even worse! And isn't it satisfying? Watching your character push to make things better and at the end finding themselves without nothing if not dead bodies and guilt? (yeah, I love the yling patriarch' arc lol)
What I find very annoying is the definition "they are so good, they can't hate anyone"... Mmmm, kind people are still people??? Hate isn't a synonym to bad, it's an emotion people can feel, regardless of their character/temper (for example I read a fic where wwx left without notice the jiang siblings and after 6 years he returned; jc was quite pissed while jyl embraced him without questions. I got the feeling that jyl didn't give a shit about wwx lmao, even if the author' intent wasn't it.) Hate is a feeling most of time born from pain! I would like to read a fic where a character doesn't hate to a fault, creating unhealthy relationships, but, again people go the opposite direction, so, ugh.
