Well, a typical cliche in pulp fiction is the damsel in distress. You know, the helpless female character who constantly needs to be rescued by the hero. And then there's the evil mastermind who is always plotting some elaborate scheme in a secret lair. Plus, the use of cheesy one - liners during fight scenes is quite common too. For example, 'You'll pay for what you've done!' kind of lines.

One common cliche is the 'damsel in distress'. Often in historical fiction, there's a female character who is constantly in need of rescue by the male hero. Another is the 'wise old mentor' figure, an elderly person who imparts crucial knowledge to the protagonist. And the 'rags - to - riches' story where a character rises from a lowly position to great wealth or power within the historical setting.

One common cliche is the brilliant but eccentric detective. You often see a detective with strange habits or quirks, like Sherlock Holmes and his violin playing or drug use. Another is the 'damsel in distress'. There's usually a female character who needs to be rescued by the detective. Also, the 'unexpected twist' at the end is a big cliche. The culprit turns out to be someone who was least suspected all along.

Well, time travel paradoxes are a bit of a cliche in science fiction. You know, like going back in time and accidentally changing something that has a huge impact on the future. Also, the 'dystopian future' where society has completely fallen apart and there's a lone hero trying to fix it. And the 'mysterious alien artifact' that holds the key to some great power or knowledge is quite overused too.

However…banana leaves, bamboos, hatchets, fat fish…When these urgently needed supplies suddenly appeared in front of Yun Xianghuan, the atmosphere gradually became strange. Yun Xianghuan was speechless. Could it be that she had magic that could grant her wishes? Until one day, Yun Xianghuan suddenly bumped into a big black panther with wings, carefully placing a bunch of grapes in front of her house… Yun Xianghuan was speechless. Ah…Help! She…she seemed to be pampered by the Beast Deity! As time passed, Yun Xianghuan developed a strong affection for the big black panther. Yun Xianghuan pinched the little meat on her stomach and looked at her fair and chubby self. Not only was she not happy, but she was also crying her heart out. This was because the Leopard Lord's gaze on her had become more and more strange recently… As expected, she knew that the big black panther would not treat her well for no reason. It must have treated her as storage food. Now that she was well, she would definitely be eaten. Yun Xianghuan gritted her teeth and reached out her hand." You…you can eat me now!" Wuwuwu…" When a certain leopard heard this, he immediately transformed into a living person. He pulled his tie and approached. His eyes were filled with smiles. "QAQ!"
