4/10 while there have been some examples of it being done well, it has some unfortunate Implications baked into it.

2/10 In most cases, it's not justified.

6/10. Playing it completely straight is a double-edged sword, but in a Quirky Work, it's more effective.

3/10, it's not a trope I like, to be honest.

5/10. A double-edge sword. It's either an effective tearjerker or just plain cruel.

8/10 if they're a villain, as it's cathartic when they lose.

5/10 otherwise

4/10. It can be just mean-spirited and makes me feel very bad for the person that everyone dislikes, even if they're somewhat of a jerk.

3/10. It's not only unrealistic, but also a cheap way to make tension.

6/10

It can be refreshing to have characters who love each other without forcing them to be on a relationship and all the clichés that entails. However, it bothers me when two characters share moments that clearly feel romantic, yet the author won't make it official just because.

9/10 I actually really like this trope. I know it's commonly believed that stories are based on struggle, but sometimes I just wanna see a character at the top of their game.
