8/10, it’s always interesting to see other possibilities.

6.5/10

Yes they exist IRL and if executed correctly, good for making us feel bad for the characters that have them and hate said abusive parents. However, it can get Narmy.

4/10 can occasionally be used for quite good poetic justice but I find it pretty uninspired by itself.

No hard feelings for it, in other words completely neutral on it.

4/10 why it can be done well, it has some sexist undertones (especially if male characters can use it without any problems).

5/10

Mostly neutral on the trope, but it'll be more interesting to see more dragons with different moralities.

5/10. Only a real problem when the character is said to be ugly in the original work, since it's missing the point.

8/10 it leads to some tearjerking moments, and adds some moral ambiguity.

7/10, always fun to see the characters in the future, but writers often fall into the pitfall of abusing it to push the plot forward or cheating with offscreen character growth/arc.

9/10, having all or most characters be somehow connected to each other is a great way to prevent the story from revolving around just one or two characters.
