Led to plenty of stuff that isn't repetition and cliche, too.
Jane Austen led to plenty of repetition and cliche. So did Tom Clancy. Let's not cast blame at the feet of anyone other than the writers who can't free their brains enough to do something different, and the editors who keep publishing the crap. (I might blame the readers, but I really have developed the sense that the readers are starving for better books, if only they could find them.)
