    There are too many cliches to count that you just forget it until you see it again so none for me. Cliches are just flavours to the eyes

    I would have to say the super "jade" beauty that always seem to appear and how each city/province/realm/ has someone topping that beauty in well,,,beauty.

    town 1: super jade could destroy a city with her beauty
    city 3: destroy kingdom with her beauty
    kingdom 6: could make the heaven fall with her beauty.

    I am not saying the beauty should be removed just wants it to be more creative than something toppling something that has skin that looks like something something.....
    Only to have her be left in said place and never seen again.

    It's basically a background character.

    Cause then it can't run away, duh.

    In JP novels, where poor MC can't take money from a rich noble for doing their job due to some weird values. I also hate it when they compare things to yen.

    In CN novels where MC turns into a psycho pathetic murderer just because.

    Of course this is but a few... I can probably name hundreds.

    That's cause JP MCs are so beta, you can insult them and they won't do anything. CN MCs will murder your family if you don't give them face.

    -Amnesia clichés.
    -Bad guy turn good guy/enemy become friend cliché.
    -dying for love cliche.
    -lovey dovey ups and down dramatic world just for two of us cliché. (I hate 5 seconds centimeters mc. Fuck him we all got much more serious trouble to worry about than what some misleading and awkward line both of them say to each other.)
    -overly good mother Mary santa Claus cliché.
    -brain dead female character cliché.
    -lucky sukebe cliché

    Hmm funny i keep getting angrier as i keep adding the list. Oh well that's all for now or like ever. I don't think I'll edit these. Basically whatever.

    Same.
    And all the currency conveniently translating directly or almost directly to yen.

    edit:
    I also hate how they make all their gods/goddesses act when someone is getting transmigrated/reincarnated. And these transmigrating characters acting like they owe them something.
    That's a freaking god, why would it be bowing to you and making everything as convenient as possible for you? Why?!
    Even if they accidentally killed you, so what? People die accidentally all the time. Getting transmigrated/reincarnated is already special treatment, why do these MCs expect/demand more on top of that??
    Does it come from the culture? How they put in money at the shrine in return for maybe getting prayers answered? Is that why they treat the gods/goddesses they meet in stories like some sort of customer service worker? And often even talk dismissively or down to them?? :notlikeblob: That's not an NPC from a game, built to take your orders, that you're talking to, that's a god/goddess! Where is the respect? Or awe? Or at least courtesy...
    Instead they treat the god/goddess like nothing more than a tool... :sushi_dead: Why do the authors make the gods alright with that?
    Sometimes I wish for the MC to be smited then and there for insolence and the story to just end, because it annoys me so much.

    Brainless big chested beauties or ice cold queens who melt with just a single touch from MCs.

    Those male lead dudes in romance CN who must ALWAYS be a CEO, dominate all the company that is there in N town, usually has facial paralysis, horny 24/7 for their female-mate, not to mention the 24/7 stalking and their way of resolving misunderstanding or arguments through raping the female mc into submission

    I, as a member of the FFF, am thankful for the virgin cockblock syndrome in a lot of JP novels. The one where the MC keeps getting new harem members but can never lose their virginity. What other proof is needed? God has not forsaken us.

    I'd much rather read about a coward(possibly beta) JP MC than an arrogant hypocritical CN MC any day.
