Morning routine that is mundane TO THE READER. Nobody cares how long your main character showers or what their favorite kind of cereal is. Only start your novel with your main character’s morning routine if it is something that isn’t routine to your reader. Does your MC have to steal their breakfast? Include that! Does your MC feed their dragon at the crack of dawn? That’s interesting! Do they spend way to long deciding what to wear? Nobody cares. That’s boring.

A dream. Readers will feel cheated when they read a bunch of interesting stuff only to find out none of it was real.

Excessive world building. Fantasy novels are especially prone to falling into this trap. Little bits of world building that are naturally woven into the narrative are fine. Info dumps are not. Remember, the purpose of the first chapter is to introduce the MC and get the reader invested in what will happen to them, not to give the reader a history lesson about a world they have no reason to care about yet.

Too long before the main conflict. While you don’t necessarily need to dive straight into the main conflict, you shouldn’t keep the reader waiting for it to start for too long. I suggest laying the groundwork for the main conflict in the first chapter and maybe hinting at it directly. That will help the plot get going at a good pace.

Without anything to ground the reader in what’s going on. The reader needs some time to get invested in the main character. While starting in medias res can work, you need to help your reader why they should care about what’s happening to the MC. Otherwise, you might as well be jingling keys in the reader’s face. Be especially careful about starting your novel with a chase scene or a battle since those can be disorienting and might not make it clear why the reader should be rooting for your MC specifically.

SOOOOOOOOOOO MANY REASONS.

Sakura is lame as a character. There was much potential for her to become this great and wonderful person, especially after Tsunade was introduced and we got to see a kunoichi that was capable of being one of the most powerful people in the Elemental Nations. Instead, she remained uninteresting, poorly characterized, and weak even past the time skip where she should have matured somewhat.

Sakura has no self-control. Like, we rag on Naruto for being impatient, but she’s so impatient she just hits first and asks questions later. She can’t even take a second with her vaunted intelligence, and actually consider a situation before she’s already over-reacting to the extreme.

Unnecessary violence toward practically everyone who isn’t Sasuke. And she’s a hypocrite about it too, seeing as she will rail into Naruto for one thing but should Sasuke do it, he’s ‘super cool’. She puts her hands on Naruto like she thinks she has a right to. And it is not okay simply because he doesn’t defend himself.

Has no desire to get informed and remains ignorant. And this is a problem. In the very beginning of the manga, she whines to Sasuke about Naruto being an orphan. She’s very insensitive and claims he’s ;super lucky’ that he has no parents and can get away with everything. And Sasuke puts her in her place for that. She said something terrible like that, to an orphan. And the thing was, he was an Uchiha, so how could she have gone 5 years in the Academy not knowing about him being all alone? Even Naruto remarks on it frequently in flashbacks and memories. Ergo, she doesn’t care about getting to know anyone unless she thinks it benefits her. Not even her supposed ‘love’.

Rude. Honestly, she belittle everyone because she has no self-esteem. But that doesn’t excuse her. She mocks Naruto for agreeing to play Ninja with a group of 8 year olds. Sakura, who played Ninja as a kid, was mocking him over agreeing to play with some little kids who obviously looked up to him.

Selfishness out the ass. Sakura constantly thinks of Sasuke as a prize. Like he is an object to be won. Every after the time skip it was still intense. Ino at least grew up and moved on to other things but Sakura still held that annoying persistence. And she didn’t bother getting to know him so she made up all these ridiculous things she assumed about him. Like how Sasuke would ‘understand her feelings’ better than Naruto. She refers to him as her love but doesn’t ever consider her feelings. She thinks that because she’s ‘in love’ with him, he absolutely has to love her back. And that’s gross. That like claiming a girl has to date a guy who has a crush on her because well, it’s only right and he’s ‘such a nice guy though’. Ew.

After Sasuke tells her she’s annoying for what she said about Naruto being an orphan, she thinks that maybe she can be nicer. And proceeds to go right back on her words where she announces not even 25 pages later, “I dislike Naruto!”. And before then she was mocking him.

She taped her fucking picture over Karin’s. Like, Sasuke’s friend. She is so pathetic that she has to tape a picture of herself over a woman who helped Sasuke more than Sakura ever did. Because she’s jealous and creepily possessive over someone who isn’t hers to begin with.

Doesn’t even know if Sasuke ever wore glasses. But she ‘loves him’ right?

Immaturity out the ass. She flips out on her daughter for asking a simple question. Literally, Sarada and Sakura are nothing alike and with all the oddities adding up, Sarada just wanted to know an answer to a simple question. Sakura berates her, insults her, and then in a tantrum, takes the entire house down because she felt so angry she had to hit something. She even lied to Sasuke about it so he wouldn’t be angry.

Sakura never tries to learn about Sasuke’s life, but attempts to guilt trip him when he defects form the village. As a person who didn’t reach out to him beyond thinking of him as future husband material, his reasons and personal life are none of her business. But she feels entitled to his information, yet never did anything to help. She’s so annoying she tries to turn the whole situation into something about her. Acts as if he’s doing it to hurt her. She is a problem. She even guilt trips him during the war with pitiful words and a poor excuse of a love confession.

She’s just a bully in general.

No respect for people and their personal space. As shown by repeated grabbing of Sasuke, assaulting of Naruto, and threatening of many other characters.

Vain as fuck.

She finally wins the prize in the end, and still isn’t grateful. She chose to raise Sarada alone even though she had friends out the ass who could have helped at any time. She chose to be a sob story.

She wasn’t what I hoped she would be.

19. She is weak as hell and never took training seriously and thinks shes better then Naruto until he saved her ass who knows how many times. Yes she got better, but doesn’t change what she was like at the start.

20. She contradicts her self saying that she prefers to spend he free time studying then hang out with Naruto, when she did the same thing with Sasuke prefering to spend time with him over training. 

21 She isn’t top kunoichi in practical grades the mini shinobi guide clearly says that Hinata and Ino have better grade and were tied for top kunoichi yet She made it with only book smarts which are not shown grade wise and all the real ninja trainees are looked over. She was also on team 7 instead of Hinata even the reasons why is reveal to be false.

22. Tsunade had no reason take her as an apprentice other then her being Naruto’s teammate, literal I am all right that she received training, but how just asked the most important person in the village for it when her ninja carer showed nothing exceptional and got was just bad writing compared to everything Sasuke and Naruto had to go through to get the same. Yes She has chakra control, but so do most other ninja, and have better fighting ability over all makes more sense to chose the better ninja’s as apprentice instead of a girl who only started taking being a ninja seriously after her crush left.

23. Oh and she wasn’t willing to us her seal to save a dying Naruto when she was running out of chakra and instead used primitive methods yet used it to charge Madara to show off to Sasuke almost getting herself killed in the process. 

25.) She drugged her own team while going on some kind of self-imposed mission to ‘kill Sasuke’, negating the existing mission parameters. She left her teammates vulnerable in foreign territory for a mission she failed in. THEN, she had to get saved by Naruto because Sasuke actually tried to kill her.

26.) During the entire arc of Konoha being totally destroyed, Sakura sits on her ass for most of the event. This is proven as the chapters pass and the scenes flash back to her, that she is still seated in the exact same place, in seiza, doing nothing but crying. She was crying and begging for Naruto to come and save them, and then he comes and she’s still crying all the way through the battle.

Forgot a word in Spanish, while speaking Spanish to me, but remembered it in English. Became weirdly quiet as they seemed to lose their entire sense of identity.

Used a literal translation of a Russian idiomatic expression while speaking English. He actually does this quite regularly, because he somehow genuinely forgets which idioms belong to which language. It usually takes a minute of everyone staring at him in confused silence before he says “….Ah….. that must be a Russian one then….”

Had to count backwards for something. Could not count backwards in English. Counted backwards in French under her breath until she got to the number she needed, and then translated it into English.

Meant to inform her (French) parents that bread in America is baked with a lot of preservatives. Her brain was still halfway in English Mode so she used the word “préservatifes.” Ended up shocking her parents with the knowledge that apparently, bread in America is full of condoms.

Defined a slang term for me……. with another slang term. In the same language. Which I do not speak.

Was talking to both me and his mother in English when his mother had to revert to Russian to ask him a question about a word. He said “I don’t know” and turned to me and asked “Is there an English equivalent for Нумизматический?” and it took him a solid minute to realize there was no way I would be able to answer that. Meanwhile his mom quietly chuckled behind his back.

Said an expression in English but with Spanish grammar, which turned “How stressful!” into “What stressing!”

When I lived in Austria, my friends would always try speaking English with me and they would say idioms in English that just… did not work, and it was like reflex that they would say, “… ah… that must only be in german, then.” 😂
