What are your most hated fanfic tropes

What if the song is being literally played in the story? As in, the characters are listening to it?

I can see the intention but it's still stilted to me

MHA fics where the they make is so that attacking the zero pointer makes it so that you lose all your point for some bullshit reason because the author needs to find ways to introduce stakes because Izuku is actually competent in their fic. It just feels like such lazy writing.

I find more annoying if the mc is blatantly OP and butchered through the robots ezpz - but still somehow not be first in points.

If I had to pick one?

The whole "forgotten/betrayed Insert main character here" trend, that had these quite mentally strong characters be "super duper innocent and kind" then they'd see their friends talking shit or their girlfriend getting backshots from their best friend or something.

Then they'd immediately do a mental 180 and become a Super Stoic and Totally Badass Edglord™, throwing away all their friends and loved ones without a second thought (50/50 on whether they give them all a beat down or punch someone in the balls on their way out).

The newly debuted Edgelord then goes on a wacky adventure where he picks up and gathers his new harem of all of the authors favorite waifus and he is magically super soft of these specific girls despite him basically castrating every other person that dares even look at him wrong.

If the story gets this far, there will be a scene where the old main girl will beg for forgiveness and say some stuff about how she was "wrong and that she wants him back" our MC will promptly execute a bitchslap and refuse to ever look at her again probably saying something profound like "you will never see these eyes that loved you ever again" she will promptly become obsessed with him and her hijinks will become a running gag.

There's probably more but this is what I can remember of this off of the top of my head.

Super Stoic and Totally Badass Edglord™

Stoicism requires the ability to self-regulate your responses to what's happening to and around you. The very premise already fails this. This could be a good thing, I'm one of the few people who actually likes the whole "Issei was traumatized by Raynare" fanfic plot angle, but for some reason the writers appear to actively disregard any emotional response that doesn't lead to more testosterone. Methinks they're confusing "stoic" for "one-dimensional".

Sounds like a teenage revenge fantasy to me. I can just imagine the MC standing there as his ex comes begging, and then suddenly he's wearing girly pyjamas and he starts singing: WE! Are NEVER! EVER! EVERRRR! Getting baaack together

But from her perspective, he sounds like Oscar the crackhead from Dave Chappelle's sesame street sketch.
