Select the genres that constitute a threat to your emotional stability.

Trope Tolerance

Immune

Tropes do not affect me. I am in control.

Selective

Only certain tropes get through.

Susceptible

Most tropes bypass my defenses.

Defenseless

I have no trope immunity whatsoever.

Reading Habits

Measured & Controlled

I read responsibly. One book at a time. Scheduled.

Occasional Binge

I go hard sometimes. I recover. It's fine.

Frequent Binge

Bingeing is my baseline. This is just how I read.

Constant Crisis

I am always mid-binge. There is no off mode.

Emotional Recovery Speed

Fast

Next book. I am fine.

Moderate

A day or two. Maybe a reread.

Slow

I need a week and a playlist.

Never

I am still not over a book from 2019.

Fictional Weakness

The Villain

I root for the wrong one every time.

Morally Grey MMC

Unhinged, possessive, problematic. Yes.

Both

If they have red flags I am already invested.

All of Them

Every character is my weakness. I have no standards.

TBR Control Level

Controlled

Under 20 books. I know what's on it.

Growing

It's fine. It's just a little out of hand.

Out of Control

I lost count. It's a situation.

What TBR Control

My TBR is a lifestyle. Not a list.

Impulse Purchase Frequency

Resistant

I research before I buy. Always.

Occasional

Sometimes a cover just gets me.

Frequent

BookTok sends me to checkout regularly.

Automatic

I do not decide. My wallet just leaves.
