What are your most hated fanfic tropes

Not sure how well that will turn out when most authors and their audience treat having meta knowledge as a strategic weapon that needs to be hoarded and abused to their maximum benefit.

And considering how that is what fics usually do, telling the natives tends to open a can of worms of how much of their relationship is genuine and not a product of manipulation, unless they pop the cherry right at the start.
 
Meta knowledge might be the only advantage an SI has, if he didn't get cheat powers from a ROB. Gotta play your cards close to your chest if you don't want to lose.

In the SI fic that I'm writing, I decided to play with the idea a little bit:
"I know for certain that he is there", I told her. This was not the time to be hedging. I was 98% certain. As certain as I could be about any bit of lore in this place. Dacyn was such a critical character to the campaign, there was no way I could imagine any version update removing him or relocating him.

"You saw it in one of your...", Lenawyn whispered. I nodded to her, knowingly. That answer suited both of us. She fell quiet, and then she curled her hand around my arm, drawing even closer. In a faint and timid voice she dared to ask, "Vinogin, what are you... Are you a prophet? Are you.... are you a god?"

I cringed a little. I knew where all of this could possibly go, if I let it. Of course she wanted to believe that she had fucked a god and possibly become pregnant with his divine progeny. Perhaps she had even prayed for such a thing to happen to her. She would worship me forever if she believed that. She would overlook any flaw in my character and do everything in her power to make me appear as a god in the eyes of others. She would probably do anything I told her, no matter how disgusting or disgraceful: I could make her **snipped out because this is a SFW thread**. I refused to go down that path. Gods at some point had to back up their words with action. All it would take was for some random thug to strike my head with a club to prove I was mortal.

"I don't know what I am", I replied. That part was at least the truth.
