The Realm of Literacy

I agree on the "love a first sight" trope. I'm sorry but I feel it's a cheap way of making a couple. Two people are in love because the author said so is not going to make me believe it. At most I can believe in liking somebody at first sight if the object of affection was doing something that has been established that the character likes (For example have a girl argue in favor of a movie the main character likes in a funny way). If not then it's just lust and it's trying to pass as something more. Heck, the reason I love "The light princess" fairy tale so much it's because mr. picky prince falls for the imperfect heroine at first sight of her calling him a series of insults (which is more than other fairy tales gives us)
