When I drop a novel

I drop the novel when fellow fans become unbearable. I will search for the spoilers myself and I wont tell anyone coz some fellow fan thinks they can write better than the author. 

i normally drop novels when i'm just not in the mood for them, but some other reasons include:
insta-love in 100 chapters, especially when each chapters have barely 2000 words, and the work runs for about 1000+ chapterswhen it's infodumpy af-- i mean 50 chapters and literally nothing happened? Dropped.when author waxes the sames poetic descriptions about the godlike handsomeness and beauty and whatever else fucking prowess the ML has whenever he appears. i mean, every damn time, i'm looking at you Ghost Emperor Wild Wife. <-- this one left a mark.when MC becomes too shitty of a person to bear reading, like in Hollywood Hunter. at first, MC's still respectful of the women he encounters, even though he's interested in them, but later on, he just goes for it even if the other character was against it/ didn't really want to sleep with him but just couldn't bear the repercussions of resisting. this feeling of "women as sexual objects" became a little too tangible in the novel and i just stopped reading at that point, even though i honestly liked the women already in his "harem"-- they're amazingly written, like i'd go for them as well if i was in the MC's shoes. but i'm still thankful for this work as it made me appreciate harem a little bit
i'm only willing to suspend my disbelief up to a certain point, and maybe a little over that point sometimes, but when the work verges on the ridiculous-- it's droppedwhen a hyper energetic, and sometimes too optimistic character appears too often, or is the MC's love interestwhen the gap in intelligence of a female MC when in the presence and not in the presence of the ML becomes too much-- this is probably the main reason why i dropped so many romance novels 

I drop novels for any of a thousand reasons. I have too little time to waste on bad novels 

I drop stuff when the quality drops and it becomes a bad novel. I prefer reading good stuff~ 

I believe this is a predominantly female-consumer opinion. At least all the guys I've ever talked about stuff like this are rather annoyed about One-True-Pairs never getting together (without it leading to some bullshit drama after one lovey-dovey episode)... But then again; at least my friends don't look movies/series for the romance alone.

I've heard before that girls/women are more interested about what's before the sex, while men are more interested about what's after it. At least after puberty it can't really be called a relationship, if she doesn't want you in her pants.  

you sound like you had your fair share of Fairy Tail-ish stories

I drop novels when they become less interesting to me than staring at a wall. 

I read what I like and like what I read, rarely do I drop reading a novel (pause reading it for awhile maybe but never drop reading it) because before I read a novel, I look at the tags/categories of the novel, then at the synopsis, if I like those I move on to read chapter 0 if exist and then chapter1 else just chapter 1 after that I make up my mind whether I should continue reading the novel or drop it (if for example I feel like that what I read doesn't match with the categories and the synopsis (usually it does)) 

So stop reading novels with romance, duh. 

I stop when the story doesn't fit in my brain anymore. Lol 

I drop novels when they stop to make sense or the plot holes get bigger than the sun.

Also jp mcs cant stand them. 

Hmmm... I dunno, I actually like romance or stupid couples in novels, like the interactions between Hajime and Yue in arifureta and how they were seen by everyone else, stupid couples capable of making their own lovey dovey singularity which is extremely hard to intrude in can be pretty funny honest

Now, I am a complete fan of "seeing fragments of the future" / "getting information of future events" type stories, the devil survivor games really got me into it, but the mc suddenly getting a prophetic dream of about 4 or so of the characters that were introduced earlier which were really likeable falling into bad ends, just to no remember a damn thing the next day... I still wonder what in earth was the author thinking at that time... but no, that threw me off so bad...

Also characters acting completely out of their personas, doing absurdly stupid things which I believe they would normally know not to even with just the knowledge they get from their own perspective just to create more conflict in the story... 

I drop just dropped one because the writing style was dry despite it being my fave genre
