Really, school is the dominating genre here? Heh, clearly there are WAY too many weabos who worship their school dramas!

(pay no mind to the anime grill from a school drama to the left of this post)

Anyway, as someone who participates in maybe 1 or two RPs a year, they don't bother me. They need a good hook of course, just like the overly saturated fantasy genre. I really won't waste my time on anything that doesn't feel special in some way.
