Is that because you don't like found family style stories at all, or because gratuitous trope use in summaries feels like a red flag?
There's def also that grey area where "this is objectively clunky" meets "this simply isn't too my taste", yeah! I don't mind the occasional bit of healthy chatter - I am fond of the Lost in Space reboot, which was deliberately and affectionately corny, for example! And then The Umbrella Academy frustrates me sometimes because damn, three seasons in everyone still barely tolerates each other.
Simmer simmer EXPLOSION can be so fulfilling though.
Ooh, interesting question / point about reading at the right age. That honestly might have affected my answers - perhaps it WOULD be nice to renew certain books from my childhood, but I wouldn't want to experience them for the first time as an adult.
