What are the tropes you like and dislike the most-nya?

Would I be a asshole if I said I dislikes ending conversation in novels with animal speech.

People think they are being quirky, but they're really just stapling cat ears onto a Shakespearean monologue.

You could deliver a brilliant, cutting line, but then you slap on a cutesy noise that instantly castrates the impact and it doesn't make fucking sense why anyone would do that

Iike imagine, really imagine watching a badass assassin walk away from an explosion,… and then they meow.

Of the poll options the only one I LIKE is the Lugh option (he was accepted into the Celtic pantheon after being tested and discovered that he was good at everything but there was one god better than he was at each individual task - magic use, engineering, animal husbandry, public speaking, etc. However, none of them could do EVERYTHING, so that is where he excelled).
As for tropes... just not a fan of the word itself, even if I use it on occasion.

Train Heartnet delivering bad luck again?

Jokes aside, nah, I agree. If it's true to the character, then I'm alright with it. Like in the anime Beast Tamer, Kanade, it makes sense for her to meow - she's literally a cat-monster. But other times, it's completely immersion breaking (I can't think of any off the top of my head, as I actively avoid remembering such bad shows), but a character won't meow for the whole episode, then at the end, right after a big fight, they're halfdead and battered and just... "-meow".

Surprise it was twins the whole time, now melodrama about why the MC couldn’t tell.

While I did voted, I didn't mind any of the options mentioned in the poll.

It's mostly the attempt to sidestep the criticism in the most web-fiction cases, the dreaded Mary Sue accusation, and end it on technicality.

 

[Rezcore]

One of my favorite character archetypes is the over powered genius, that isn't a genius, they just work 10 times harder. The kind of character that puts up a facade of perfection, but is suffering, so his people don't have to

 

[Empress_Omnii]

I don't actually mind any of these tropes when handled specific ways, but I suppose if the character is bad at everything and they never improve even in situations they should, then that is the worst.

 

[Fox-Trot-9]

If there's no improvement in the MC's abilities to resolve the situation (s)he's in, what's the point of the story? There has to be something improving. It can't just be a traumatizing fuck-fest of self pity.

 

[Anonjohn20]

I dislike most of the things involving time travel, too many plot holes due to time travel paradoxes.

 

[TheIcMan]

Where’s the option for “Best at Everything, Bad at Nothing”? A.k.a most of isekai?

 

[Hoshino]

The poll is irrelevant to the question itself, nya.
