this is how I feel when authors try to market their books saying "I couldn't find a book that has xyz tropes so I wrote one" especially if the tropes are everywhere
like I understand that it's a marketing gimmick but to me it screams that you haven't read broadly enough in your genre, which is a red flag

Algorithms have ruined the art of googling. Whenever i want a specific type of story or hyperspecific trope there is a reddit thread already

It's just sometimes really hard to find them, especially well written ones. Doesn't mean that readers shouldn't look!
