I’m personally super tired of the romances you see in a lot of YA fiction right now, where their interactions are 90% snark and somehow they fall in love just through that. I think this can be okay if the dialogue is written really well, but so much of the “snark” I see is just so corny and fake-edgy that it falls flat.

Agreed, relationships are built on more than snark. I feel like people miss that part each time.

Enemies to frickin lovers THAT needs to die. Theres nothing cute about hating the others guts. Then they always “fall in love” cuz reasons.

Oh yeah, if it’s truly written correctly the story will prevail but if you don’t then it falls into these tropes. People need to base their story on concrete ways for the reader to understand what has changed and why for that character. It’s honestly quite annoying to read this trope if not fully written to it’s potential.

Here’s a trope that makes me want to pull my hair out and that is used in almost all telenovelas.
It’s that freaking love triangle mess where the LI sees the MC talking to another guy (or the MC sees the LI talking to another girl) and the person who isn’t the main LI hugs or tries to kiss the MC, and at that very moment, the LI just HAPPENS to walk by and see them, thinking the MC loves the other guy, so instead of just waiting to see the MC push that other guy away or tell him that she doesn’t love him, the LI walks away and cries. The same applies to the MC seeing the LI about to be kissed by another girl or something like that.
I hate it to the max!

How about the “broken girl” from an abusive home running into the arms of an equally (if not more) abusive “bad boy”
If the abuser is hot it’s not abuse anymore
