Or the other way around: something you like to read, but don’t like to write? (Not that you struggle to write, but hate doing it at all. Even if you are good at it.)

I was pondering this question myself and hadn’t come up with too many answers. Vague ideas, like how I don’t like describing the environment, but I can enjoy a good descriptive passage in someone else’s work. On the other hand, everything I like to write I like to read.

However, I know some people don’t like reading other people’s renditions of certain tropes. I’m interested in hearing about it.

I can’t think of any genres or tropes off the top of my head which count for me, but I know there are some of those too!

    Oh gosh, I’m sure I have them, but off the top of my head I cannot think of any. For me, I tend to hyper-fixate on a specific theme for a stretch and then it’s like I just don’t want to write anything else. But the theme sometimes changes? So I guess the answer to this question changes as well. This is true for both reading and writing so… XD

      Awe, still would of been fun to hear what it was now and be able to compare months later when someone asks the question again~

        Oh! I thought of something. High Fantasy and Space-Sci Fi. I don’t mind writing either, but I don’t tend to read either. I tend to prefer reading both in contemporary settings, with a handful of exceptions.
