I mean i like TVTropes too but there's so many authors that view things through the lens of something being cliche or not.

Meanwhile Terry "I Wrote Better Than You Even When I Was Dying From Alzheimer's" Pratchett got it write from the outset. But then he also always handled the same themes Hussie wishes he was able to tackle far better. Dirk is like a shittier less funny version of a Pratchett villain.
