love triangles. however, in some cases, the author has a way of twisting the “love triangles” which i really love yet i haven’t seen that in most books i’ve read.
slow pacing, rlly gets on my nerveswhen a character is a horrible person w no valid reason/purpose as to why (like if they have a bad personality which doesn’t help the plot/main character(s) in any way shape or form)
when there’s time skips but then the chapter is js explaining what happened in the time skip in order for the story to make sense (eg chap 1 starts in nov, chap 2 starts 10 months later, chap 2 is all ah catching up what happened from nov to now - like if ur gonna use time skips, use them well 😭 imo the point of time skips is to get to the good stuff so if the hood stuff was in the time gap why skip ahead?? idk if this makes sense)
long chapters, cheating tropes and sometimes the instalove trope
Agnes wrote: "Epilogues."Omg so true its like you worked your self through the intense ending but instead of laying the book down you have to push through even more words that most of the time don't matter for the story any more 🤦🏼♀️
Too much world building and info dumping like pls leave some to the imagination
When the slow burn is TOO slow. I just want them to kiss already 😭
HEAVY on miscommunication.Sometimes I just want to go in the book nd make them talk face to face to each other.
Cheating , surprise baby , love triangles , slow pace , miscommunication and dumb/self centered fmc or mmc
love triangles. and unnecessary romances that add nothing to the plot
love triangles fill me with unexplainable amounts of rage (jkjk, my favourite books have love triangles in them lmao 💀😭)
love triangle or sometimes justifying infidelity . (IYKYK)
When the mmc has scary anger-issues (not hate to those with it)like Beautiful Disaster, that scared me. She left his place, and he tore up the whole apartment on a rage looking for her...
MISCOMMUNICATION or “i'M nOt LiKe OtHeR gIrls” trope

Good question. There are so many options:1. Reverse Harem (I prefer guys chasing after or competing for the girl without knowing who will win!)
2. A bachelorette competition which really is no competition because the winner(s) are predetermined on page 1. Seriously?
3. Wimpy FMC who never speaks up against abuse.
4. Tinkering with the birth control (that’s someone else’s fantasy, not mine).
miscommunication, amnesia and when the mc is somehow oblivious to their feelings for the other mc until the very end😭 like u know ur in love dude omg
There are so many, but to name a few:Goofy FMC that’s “always doing this and that” making her friends roll their eyes and saying “here we go” and shit like that, it makes me gag.
The FMC justifying her words and actions through the book makes me DNF it.
And FMC suddenly finding out she’s the most powerful being in like a thousand realms.
The MMC being big and burly and Hulk-like, that “even sitting down, she has to look up to him”.
Miscommunication, pregnancy…
Pregnancy (Intentional or Accidental) - I will literally DNF it right then and there. The only time it doesn't bother me is if it's at the very very end or if it's in the epilogue and I can just pretend that part doesn't happen (haha). And I don't know what to call it but the ones where she thinks he doesn't like her but it's so so SOOOOO obvious to everyone else that he's in love with her. Drives me insane! Like girl, come on you cannot be that blind to his advances!
Looooooong chapters, enemies to lovers that aren't really enemies to lovers
love triangles, miscommunication, third act breakup!
