Re: What are some ships and the petty reasons you don't like them?

El/Orion from Naomi Novik's Scholomance series. I find Orion a bland himbo (even though the background concept for his character is actually kind of good IMO), and I find El obnoxiously self-righteous and tiresomely over-important within the story, to the extent that it often feels like nobody else really matters or contributes anything of genuinely significant importance. (Orion contributes something of significant importance, but he does it in the most "No thoughts; head empty" way possible, so it feels kind of meaningless insofar as it pertains to his character.)

I'm pretty sure I just dislike how Novik writes ships in general, because I didn't really care for Agnes/Sarken in Uprooted, either. (I also never seem to vibe with the way she writes fanfic ship dynamics.)

I couldn't make it past the first chapter of that book because of how El hated Orion for no reason. I was relieved to find out he was the canon love interest and not some guy who was there for us to hate just because we're supposed to agree with whatever the whiny MC thinks; it made me want to give the book another chance. So respectfully I disagree and if I end up hating the ship, it'll be if El stays as insufferable as she is in the part I read.

Well, good luck.

I would argue El absolutely remains insufferable. I like a lot of "unlikeable" female characters, but sadly El isn't one of them. She annoyed the crap out of me from beginning to end. The Scholomance series had a lot of good concept-potential; I just don't feel like it realized much of it. With that said, it's pretty clear from reading Novik's fanfiction that she and I want totally different things from our fiction.
