What are your most hated fanfic tropes

[Theman]

In honor of Uma Musume Pretty Derby.

You know what would be great, if a self insert or isekai. Decides to game the system and make money in a funny way/not efficient, and try to get into gambling the outcome of the shonen fights he ends up in. The high's the lows, he wins some, but because of the butterfly effect some fights end up changing things and he might get fucked after losing a bet when he put his mortgage on the line lol.

Something that makes me raise an eyebrow is when the protagonist (or self-insert) from the real world can kill so easily. It shouldn't just be the law stopping someone from killing — personal morality should matter too. I think they should at least show some kind of aversion to the act of killing at first, especially if they've never been in similar situations before or if there's nothing in the story to justify it.

Probably because people just want to skip to the fantasy part immediately. And people usually complain about it if the character has a breakdown.

I think there are a fair amount of analogues for the whole "skip to fantasy" thing. I'm never able to get over how easily isekai protagonists take to breastfeeding.

Seriously its pretty weird if you stop to think about it, but do those considerations need to exist in power fantasy slop? Probably not.

This has probably been written before, but hey, this is a thread for trope that you hate.

1. Self-inserts. All of them. Every self-insert I have read has come off as far too detached to the world. They do not acclimate to the world but rather just chameleon their way into it.

Arrogant and barely conscious towards how people feel in the world that they self insert into. Every self-insert that I've read ironically fits with the personalities and mentalities of the Divine weapon heroes, save for the Shield hero, from Rising of the Shield hero.

I hate that they all just treat it all like a game. Min-maxing everything to the point that it's ridiculous. Really pulls you out of the immersion.

I seriously hate stories where it constantly reminds you that it's fanfiction rather than an actual story.

OCs tend to be better due to the fact that the characters do actually LIVE in their worlds.

How they look too. Brown/Black hair, Brown eyes, and an average face. They're just goddamn Japanese Isekai Protagonists.

2. God Protagonists.

What is the point? They're literal gods. The conflict is either just conflict with other gods and how many women they can bag.
