*** "Getting Sold to Music/OneDirection" is a more specific variation of this, referencing both a common plot used by writers (main character gets sold to someone and falls in love with them) and the large amount of 1D-based stories written during the band's heyday.

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: Many Wattpad books, particularly the published ones, have no nice people.
** The antagonists are high school AlphaBitch stereotypes.
** The love interests can be [[CrazyJealousGuy needy, abusive, possessive]], and stubborn. They push away people who try to help them and then emotionally abuse their on-off girlfriends for their amusement. This is very common because a lot of them are bad boys.
** The teen girl protagonists have a ton of hangups. They can be [[SmallNameBigEgo judgemental]], [[ClingyJealousGirl envious]], and {{Extreme Doormat}}s, who [[RejectionAffection refuse to give up when they're rejected]]. They're also {{designated hero}}es that [[NotSoDifferent are identical]] to the bitchy rival, but they have an internal monolog about [[{{hypocrite}} how much better they are than the bitch]].
** Parents are either useless or overly strict. Some sell their children into slavery and give their children ridiculous, non-conventional names that would rival [[FanFic/MyImmortal Ebony Way's]]. They might also be an alcoholic or the don of a gang.
** The protagonist's [[DoggedNiceGuy male best friend]] is often found out to be [[TheChessmaster a manipulative creep]] who only befriended the protagonist [[ItsAllAboutMe so that she could see him as a better suitor]] than any other boy she's attracted to, [[NotSoDifferent even if they act the same]].
** Any MagicalMinorityPerson who is a walking stereotype.

** Variations of the phrase "[[CrashIntoHello Crashing into a wall]]", which describes a MeetCute of the female protagonist literally bumping face-first into the love interest's [[HeroicBuild chest]].
** There are so many stories about bad boys (borderline, the ten-thousands), it borders on parody.
