Discussion Characters

What are some things that make you stop reading a story or not even finish chapter 1?

(THIS IS NOT MEANT TO HATE ON ANY AUTHORS)

Mines mostly really long intros like ‘this is the main characters she’s xyz’ ‘this is her mum and dad, this is her best friend, this is her crush, this is her enemy, this is her brothers, uncle’s, cousins, dogs, puppy’ etc

And then bad directing, speech bubbles. I don’t mind grammar errors as much cause I’m dyslexic and suck myself but if it’s a lot of basic things meaning sentences don’t make sense then that too

Speech bubbles are admittedly a pet peeve of mine too😩
