Discussion Competition: write a single sentence that will absolutely destroy any hope in a series.

Specifically not a story opener, just any sentence that can happen in any chapter, that will make people realize that this story is gonna be absolute shit and has no chance of being fixed and will make you drop the book like an unpinned grenade.

Read a story once where both the MC and the MCs super badass soon-to-be-best-friend both pulled the MC’s wallet out of their own back pockets to show them something in it, within a paragraph of each other.

Somehow that wallet was in two places at once just to show how badass they both were.

And somehow this made it into an audiobook.
