   I totally agree, I hate love triangles the only love triangle that I like is the one in Throne of Glass

     Generally speaking I agree. There are a handful where that actually works, but it seems like it's become a standard.

      Cheating! There are very few cases where cheating in a book doesn't bother me. But mostly it just kills the book when a character cheats.
Also, when a main character's looks isn't described till 50% through the book. And it turns out completely different from what you imagined.

 I,too, HATE as you do triangles especially when there is one girl and 2 boys. Also when the main character is blonde and with blue eyes and she thinks that every boy is in love with her. And last when there is a character who is really annoying!

     When the main character dies. Like come on. I get that they have to be heroic but still. When it's done recklessly it's so annoying.

     I hate this thing ONLY in series : when the main character dies. Especially if it's a long series, and u start loving the characters...and they are then killed in the last book...really frustrating.

     plot holes, Deus ex machina (when done poorly), Mary Sues (unless they're ironic, parodic, or funny), and horrible main characters

 Why just about every book does the following scenario happen: girl and guy have their big moment, then the following the day the guy must act like it meant nothing, she means nothing, and overall tries to pretend it didn't happen. Said girl takes this as rejection, questions herself and whether she is lovable and worth anything, assuming his attitude means he thinks she's a mistake. Then later on, he comes up with some dumb excuse about why he had to act that way for so-and-so reason or to protect her or whatever. She suddenly understands everything and at the drop of a hat forgives him and all is well, and suddenly those reasons he had for rejecting her don't matter. They are still there, but for some damn reason, only NOW does he finally choose to go for love anyway despite them.

 When someone dies and a person WHO CLEARLY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT spends the ENTIRE BOOK feeling guilty/depressed/wanting to kill themselves. Cannot. Stand. It.
