condescending characters in novels

Hayle Coven Novels

I’m an international, multiple award-winning author with a passion for the voices in my head. As a singer, songwriter, independent filmmaker and improv teacher and performer, my life has always been about creating and sharing what I create with others. Now that my dream to write for a living is a reality, with over a hundred titles in happy publication and no end in sight, I live in beautiful Prince Edward Island, Canada, with my giant cats, pug overlord and overlady and my Gypsy Vanner gelding, Fynn. ***WORLD'S BEST STORY2014*** Her mom's a witch. Her dad's a demon. And she just wants to be ordinary. I batted at the curl of smoke drifting off the tip of my candle and tried not to sneeze. My heavy velvet cloak fell in oppressive, suffocating folds in the closed space of the ceremony chamber, the cowl trapping the annoying bits of puff I missed. I hated the way my eyes burned and teared, an almost constant distraction. Not that I didn't welcome the distraction, to be honest. Anything to take my mind from what went on around me. Being part of a demon raising is way less exciting than it sounds. Sydlynn Hayle's teen life couldn't be more complicated. Trying to please her coven is all a fantasy while the adventure of starting over in a new town and fending off a bully cheerleader who hates her are just the beginning of her troubles. What to do when delicious football hero Brad Peters--boyfriend of her cheer nemesis--shows interest? If only the darkly yummy witch, Quaid Moromond, didn't make it so difficult for her to focus on fitting in with the normal kids despite her paranormal, witchcraft laced home life. Add to that her crazy grandmother's constant escapes driving her family to the brink and Syd's between a rock and a coven site. Forced to take on power she doesn't want to protect a coven who blames her for everything, only she can save her family's magic. If her family's distrust doesn't destroy her first.

Above average compared to other novels less exessive face slapping and dubious revenge plots while maintaining a level of disbelief when people encounter the op mc without constantly making the people seem extra arrogant and condescending like in other novels.

sigh. why are modern novels in 2025 still written as though they are historical novels? Why is "obedience" required from a wife? Why are sought after men dark and brooding and ruthless and only "doting" (read condescending but controlling) to their wives? Why is this still something people want to read?

A bit to condescending, and too easy for the main character. It's like the author is a bit childish and want to resume his grievances... not to my liking

As an author, giving myself 5 stars seems very condescending. I want to improve as a writer and I hope it shows through my progress.

Betrayal of the greatest degree ... expected to read a normal fanfic but got a Chinese MTL garbage, the plot is okay , but the way the story is written is just cringe , the reason I hate most MTL novels is their format , with arrogant characters screaming "Die for me " instead of just Die and the MC being too condescending and overconfident that he won't use most of his strength , and others calling themselves "This old man " , similar kind of phrases , which is just too annoying .Fix and edit a few things and you might have a good story

I became the senior sister of the old heavenly master

How did it feel to wake up and become the senior sister of the old heavenly master of Longhu Mountain and have a chat group… From then on, I checked in and checked in every day. I was in a group chat, and I was bubbling.(́ ́ ) (As the title suggests, it is considered half a chat group article. There may be more in the later stages. The introduction is weak. Please look at the main text. The author is a newbie. Please show mercy.) [The plot is a little dull. It's a little daily, a little relaxed, and occasionally a little ups and downs to spice things up.]
