Now Gordon, I don’t mean to alarm you, but I do believe we have single-handedly wiped out the United States Military.

My usual (quite common) thropes I don’t like are.:

Fake-out deaths.

when the author kills off a character for emotional reasons, and afterwards they just revive the characters, for lol no, I changed my mind. It’s just cheap, and the reader won’t trust death anymore.

The two exceptions I could find where it made sense that interaction

  1. Where a clever side-character knew that their loved one are in mortal danger, and used the fake funeral to smoke out the spies from the family.
  2. In an rpg-like setting, where clerics can revive dead people (in an allotted time)

But both of these exceptions didn’t pull back the emotional punches, and permanently killed of some important characters later in the story. So in that cases the fake-out death was just a board for the perma-death. (And even used the readers’ distrust of death against them, until eventually the characters in question confirmed, that they didn’t/can’t do anything to revive the dead person.)

And dense protagonist.

That’s just a comedy thrope, for being comedic. There is literally no way, that a person (whose viewpoint we are following) don’t realize the feeling of the people around them, when the readers do…
If used well, dense side/support/background characters are good comedic thropes, but it shouldn’t do anything with a protagonist. Or the readers should not realize it’s a dense character.

There can be multiple reasons the protagonist refusing romantic interest(s), but it should never be their dense nature.
It’s just a lazy workaround for the author to not commit to any relationship for a long time.

The only exception I found bearable was where the dense protagonist thrope was really overexcarated, but in that case the protagonist was really out of the norm. When he washed rice, he washed it like a kitchen appliance, (with disinfectant and such), and he ate every part of a watermelon (yes, even the outer part) and he narrated those, like it was normal… and didn’t understand why other people didn’t like his foods. (Also in the epilogue the author wrote that he planned him as a side-character, but in the process of writing he switched the script and made him into the protagonist, and the protagonists into side-characters.)

the last plot twist for (I really dont notice)

When someone replaced one of the ā€œmainā€ side-characters with an identical clone with all of the memories, he immediately spotted, that she isn’t who she claimed she is - even though everyone else thought she is the real one - just because her lie wasn’t good in nature.

Basically, it’s when the author is either cheap*/lazy with their work.

*On this note, when an important side-character ā€œdiesā€, and the protagonist works through almost the whole story to attempt of reviving said character, that’s a motivated revival, not a fake-out death in my opinion. There is a narrow line between those two, but I would say, when the protagonist is challenged for it it’s in the motivated revival category, but if it just happens without the protagonist input, it’s a fake-out death. Also some motivated revivals can still be cheap, but I don’t hate that thrope as much as fake-out deaths.
