Which tropes do you hate?
I have a long list XD Here are some of my least favorite tropes:
• Love Triangle
• There's Only One Bed
• Not Like Other Girls
• Forced Romance
• Forbidden Romance
• Enemies to Lovers
• Best Friends To Lovers (Can we please let a M/F friendship happen without changing it into a romance?)
• Arranged Marriage
Oh, and the one I hate the most-
♡Love at First Sight♡

Special snowflake/chosen one
Damsel in distress
Love at first sight
Sacrificing everything for some1 you just met
Not like other girls
Bad boy who is actually a sad boy with a sad past

Yes that 'good without training' is so unrealistic and forced. Just to give the character a quality. And they call it 'natural talent'.

Palash (naikon) | 14 comments Coming back to life
Gary Stu/Mary Sue characters
Secret royalty
Forced romance
Love triangle
Love at first sight
Kill the big bad guy and all his minions die
The all powerful magical object
Evil for the sake of being evil
Medieval European-style setting
They all lived happily ever after

Yes, Mary Sue and Gary Stu characters are so unrealistic and annoying.

xoxo.mackenzie (hamilton1) I hate I'm not like other girls with a burning passion.
And of course, Mary Sue character, the 'chosen one' and damsel in distress are bad, too.
