I don't like it when in novels with dominating male they don't consider FL's feeling. Just ML likes her harass her and then she falls in love with him .

I really hate the racism I sometimes encounter. Like okay I get it if the author chose a person from a culter he/she knows (Japanes/Korean/Chinese) but please leave your stupid supiority complex out.
I just want to read a story not have to be indocternated to believe in an Asian superrace - we all know that nekos are the only beings worthy of that discription
Another anoying think are harem plotlines. - I really enjoy a romantic subplot but harem always seems so lazy, kinda like a wierd fetish thing from the author. Harmes are really stupid, when i take my dick out in public there are no catgirls getting uncounsius from the pure sex apeal or bounce at me - only some old catlady fainting and a catclaw scar on my dick

It doesn't even have to end, just have concretely-defined arcs or seasons and plan each arc fully, separately (as long as it eventually, and not in a "10,000 chapters later" way, ends for good).

I'd suggest to avoid the Wheel of Time. Jordan was a decent world-builder, but he really didn't know when to stop with the repeated descriptions.

Personally, the one trope I hate the most is this tendency of JP, but also KR, novels to have antagonists or just, for the lack of a better word, opponents that are basically paper-thin cutouts that serve only to glorify the protagonist. It's always "X walks in, acts like a retard that spent his youth in the looney bin, shittalks protagonist or his harem/flunkies, gets effortlessly dunked on by the protagonist, never returns to the story". So many of these stories use these mono-dimensional condoms to jerk the protagonist's awesomeness (always to the cheering of the readers, who probably project the bullies that tormented them on the baddies or something), often right after he pulled an ever-stronger power of some cosmic butthole - and what better way to show off the protagonist's undeserved prowess, than by using an expendable "character", amirite?

I hate this trope even more than the concept of harems, which can at least be written decently - this trope is literally a symptom of a shitty writer.

that's a major turn off for me and its present in 97% of novels with the exception of pure cultivation novel( novels where it begins and ends in the cultivation world not one where technologies exist and the mc travels to another universe he discovers cultivators or reincarnated). At first it might seem to be non existent but once the mc starts becoming stronger or powerful he will start praising China and Chinese people how Chinese girls and women are chastise pure and innocent how they are loyal and filial how other races are savages. This actually happened in one novel the mc says he can never marry any girl that's not from China but he goes ahead and starts having sex with an American girl regularly.
