That’s really what the whole jist of this story is, a series of obvious tropes done in a tasteful way in the manner in which they’re done by averages.
i wasn’t trying to reinvent the wheel, just give the wheel a nod and maybe pay some homage to memories of other stories readers may have read in the past, you know not a direct call out but give that vague feeling of familiarity.
But I’m also poking a little bit of humor into the tropes as well, just a little over exaggeration.
Im glad I was able to pull off something you mentioned, most people would be turned off on something like this, just like you said you would.
It’s something I do worry about.
