FOR READERS: Tropes We Hate

by
tropes everywhere

FOR READERS Today’s reader topic comes from QSFer Angel Martinez: We’ve talked a lot about the tropes you love (and when I say trope I mean story component/ archetype, not cliche.) What tropes are guaranteed to make you walk away from a book. Be aware that someone loves every trope you hate, so please don’t be judgmental about them. :) Writers: This is a reader chat – you are welcome to join it, but please do not reference your own works directly.
