I am surprised that even this small comment has the 'Edited" tag attached to it. Man, such confidence!
What’s a trope you are tired of seeing?

Tomoyuki oof that seems like a lot of work then :/ Sorry to put you through that "
Benny_Manatee Don't worry about it, I wanted to read it again myself, ha ha.
I am also tired of seeing tropes about the mc being magically good at everything , even things they're just seeing for the first time
Even their children are super kids with out of this world skills
And sometimes I also wonder about these CEO stories like if the ml is ruthless and cruel while always bankrupting people the why is he so carefree about life with only a handful of body guards because if it were really true then he should basically hire the miltary because with that amount of people having nothing to lose , they could do anything and not only a handful of assassinations
I am also tired of the basic one night stand stories like didn't they teach you about sex in school and contraceptives
Breakthrough_Bello_1625 why is he so carefree about life with only a handful of body guards because if it were really true then he should basically hire the miltary
Thats the annoying thing, it's like Chinese martial arts is overpowered 
I am bored of the chosen one trope. It is much better to have an average protagonist that succeeded because of their own talents rather than some prophecy. That being said there are still a lot of novels that do this well.
I can't get enough of rogues or amoral characters being the protagonist.

Here’s another trope that is just aNoYiNg!
The unrealistic “Love at First Sight.”
I’m talking about leads who “met when they were young and fell in love right away.” Bah! That’s BS. And recently I saw an extreme and awful version of this in a nicer that just came out.
The ML is a baby. A newborn. He’s not even a week old. (This is a Transmigration/Reincarnation setting in a cultivation setting). Now insert the FL. She’s 16 (but they say she’s actually 10 because of cultivation?! Idk). She literally meet the ML. Again HE’S A FREAKING BABY. And she’s like, “He is cute, I want to marry him.” Fcking hell! WTF?! First of all, she’s a P*do. Second of all, this is so unrealistic and uncomfortable.
BTW, they allowed this weird child to get engage to the ML!? The F-!?
I literally want to scream… I hate this. Also, did I say that the ML is way too OP?! Like his first cry was heard all over the country of something and caused the weather to change alongside some other magical abnormalities idk cultivation novels are so weird and packed with the weirdest tropes.
Ok, let's keep this going... The I -so -much -love -my -wife -that -even -my -child -is -my -love rival. That shit is annoying asf. If you know you'll view your kids as hindrances to your romance, then don't have them.
Evil MCs the ones that kill for no reason or simply to advance like scarecrow blah blah blah. I claim to like badass characters but I discovered I was lying to myself.
Mai0414 yeah I've seen lots like this, the ml sees the fl performing a deed and he's like I love this girl. That's not how love works right?
A great collection here. I think my most hated tropes all have to do with the lack of intellect and logic.
Intellectually brilliant, outstanding in every way, incomparably beautiful male character falls in love with an unremarkable teenager. I simply cannot understand why a 1000-year-old mage/immortal/elf/god would ever fall for a regular 16-year-old? Really? Does anyone else find that weird?
Adult characters behaving like hyperactive kids with no life experience. That is especially hilarious when these characters are leading politicians and military commanders. Good luck to your army with such leaders!
MCs that are only cool because they are physically powerful. What about intellect? Why would I ever read a whole novel about someone, whose only distinguishing quality is 'he can punch hard'?
Mai0414 To be fair, that was no weirder than clans engaging babies to be married before they are born. In her case, she at least saw how powerful and handsome he is in the future and got infatuated with grown him, so decided she wants to marry him when he's grown. Nothing weird about that: it's not like she's doing anything inappropriate to the baby. It's just the typical trope of every woman falling for the OP guy who happens to be astoundingly handsome as well (which is annoying in itself).
SlaveOfTheLord 'Punch hard' is cool...but some sort of character would be a nice addition to the 'punching part' :).
LaoTze for the OP guy who happens to be astoundingly handsome as well (which is annoying in itself).
But most op guys are not handsome. How I miss the days when op guys were average looking nowadays the look of the mc is described every 100 words .
grimreaper906 It's very blatant self-insert wish fulfilment.
Tomoyuki ouch that hurts 
I feel like a hypocrite my Mc is astoundingly handsome as well

TeodoraK The "1000-year-old mage/immortal/elf/god would ever fall for a regular 16-year-old" one really is annoying.
Another one: Using magic (prob golem creation) to "magically" recreate the <insert cool modern technology or Sci-Fi item>.
And: Every member of the harem, who was originally portrayed as "powerful" instantly becomes stupid and powerless once they confess. In some novels the MC even creates magical-girl costumes with "golem creation" that makes them crazy powerful for some reason when singing or something.
grimreaper906 As long as you don't describe your main character every 100 words.
Self-insert is fine, but the trick is to make it not so blatant. Problem with most cultivation stories is that the protagonists get everything handed to them on a silver platter, so it becomes really obvious that the authors are favoring their main characters. They need to actually earn what they get by working hard, not receive everything as a gift from the heavens.

Here’s another trope that’s just ANNOYING! And that’s the CEO, Mafia, Doctor, General (Military), story… Honestly, I don’t think they’ll ever stop being produced because they are very popular…
But all of those stories tend to have pretty much the same formula… The helpless FL, her abusive family, an annoying Villainess, a hard childhood, “the OMG we have a misunderstanding we cannot be together and OMG FL is actually pregnant with the ML’s child but she won’t tell him.” Then there’s the scene where the FL decides to go abroad and become a successful businesswoman or something only to return with her GENIUS child or something…. Also, why are these ML’s always have more power than the freaking government?! WTF, I get they are rich but this is unreasonable!
Also, I HATE when the story portrays the FL as strong and capable woman the first few chapters, but when she meets the ML, she becomes the ULTIMATE damsel in distress. Like, she won’t lift a finger to achieve what she wants and instead, she’ll let the ML pave her way.
