Thoughts On Literary Tropes

Daily writing prompt
What’s the most annoying trope in books or movies?

I enjoy a hero’s journey through trials and transformation.

I enjoy red herrings in a murder mystery to keep me guessing.

I guess a literary trope becomes annoying when it turns into an obvious, predictable cliche.

    Right now, I am reading a novel that is all about “enemies to lovers”. I like the plot and the characters, but it is too predictable.

    1. That’s disappointing. Reading is an investment. Sounds like that investment is a boring one.
