i hate it when you're reading a book and all of a sudden its like '3 years later' or some time really far away from when the story actually happened

i hate it when romance authors pull out the pregnancy trope and introduce a baby out of no where
I hate it when authors describe pages on pages of useless things just to increase the word count.
I hate when authors (or their publishing company) decides to make books in the same series DIFFERENT SIZES, like what? What was the reason?

Villains with 0 back story or no good motivation, or just random purposeless characters
I hate when the author’s name is bigger that the title on the cover, it’s like they’re just trying to get themself out there more
Insta love, pregnancy trope *gags*, killing off your favorite characters, and many more that my brain can't think up right now
when they include words like *sigh* in the characters ACTUAL DIALOGUE 😭 like please girl just say they sighed
WHEN THE ENEMIES BECOME LOVERS AFTER LIKE 20 PAGES
Putting two characters together without any build up 😌
I don't like when authors describe a character's appearance in an extremely checklist-type of way (height, hair color, eye color, skin tone, etc.), especially if they list them in the same order and do this right away every time we meet a new character.
When the author or publisher decides to put a fake stickers on beautiful editions on the damn book!I DON’T WANT A STICKER TO RUIN MASTERPIECE!
When a character has a tail but we don’t see it, like, ever *cough* Cardan *cough cough* Also, in werewolf-human relationship books why are the werewolves always men? And the only females are complete jerks??????
Idk if this is totally the authors choice but real people on covers
when they kill of the side characters that are just kids and that all the readers love... *COUGH COUGH* CASSANDRA CLAREalso the pregnancy trope. if that comes up in a book im throwing it in the goddamn garbage.
I hate when they make the character short and tiny and AdoRablE and that’s literally their whole personality.
Men writing women and they’re HORRIBLE at it.Like.Her b00b$ are happy
What’s $€x?
She has breasts that smile
\/\/|-|0r€’$ hair
"Noel rolls her eyes.I think her breasts are in sync with them.Girl’s breasts are so amazing"
Too wide in the hips
Nice set of curves
The list goes on and ON!
I hate when there are real people on covers... If I find a good book description and then see that the cover is like that I just forget about it and don't add it to my tbr.
I hate it when in a series the author keeps on repeating what happened in the previous book for 10 pages before the story continues. Okay, do it for a few paragraphs but don't repeat the whole thing! Like, please, I know what happened in the 5th book when I am reading the 6th one, if not I wouldn't be reading the 6th book, wouldn't I?
when they add just unnecessary description in describing a scene like we get it, it was cold or too hot or like something was cool or too much. I don't get it....
Cliffys and when they make characters that we can't like at all and then decide that the FMC is gonna fall in love with them. It's annoying.....

I'm not gonna go and reread them just to get what ur talking about now. Thats soooooo annoying

I don't like it when authors repeat what they've written one way just to repeat it with other words in the next sentence. And then keep doing it for six - seven times before moving on with the story. Editing is a part of writing so use it. Less is more in some cases.
When representation is only added for 1 page.
gwen wrote: "too much smut"This one depends on how the author frames it. But my gods, if 75% of your book is smut then I'm probably not gonna like it
when characters have no development, and also when they drag out the book for like the first 60% like literally nothing is happening
