Reactions to some little things, and tiny short casual interactions. Showing how a character debates or fights or describing someone's reaction to an accident or confession or something else similarly serious can show a character's personality well, but seemingly unimportant things like cats or harmless pranks or being woken up are really fun and can show so much more than some people realize.

I've been meaning to implement this into my story, and tbh I'm quite excited to do it, esp cus i use first person!
But first i wanna get the reader used to the mc first cus he's a bit of an oddball haha

As for small details i like those littles clues that hint what a character is truly feeling. When the author writes it in a way that the characters in the story dont understand those clues, but its obvious to the readers. They should get a feeling of like "Uh oh, somethings clearly wrong with this character, I cant wait to see how it plays out"

Also I like when something that seems completely random later makes sense in the story

Moments of humor that feel "natural" and not forced, no matter how dark the story gets.

I really like it when the author remembers that their isekai'd character's earth-related / american idioms make no sense in their new world. (Such as "Hit the road, jerk")


By @Agdistis does this really well.

I prefer when villains have motivations that aren't just delusional jealousy or wanting more power.
Too many villains just want to rule over everything without even an idea of what they're gonna do with it.
Or even just when the hero doesn't always have to win and doesn't always have to be right at every single thing they do.
What I hate most is when stories give the hero a morally challenging decision only to have the hero simply refuse to choose and magically creates a new path out of nowhere that leads to an ideal outcome that should have been impossible but came out of nowhere just so that they can remain perfect.
