If the hook is something other than romance, then the story starts to revolve around the romance. Like, don’t get me wrong. I think having romance in a story always helps - it’s amazing for character development and stakes. But when it takes over the story and pushes everything else aside I just get bored. However, if the romance is the hook, I have less of an issue. The later Final Fantasy games didn’t try to hook with other things. The romance was always the biggest thing right from the off, and the best scenes and story beats are always based around the romance. That’s how to do it right.
Oh yeah. Boring, bland casts are a big turn off too. When descriptions of characters make them all look the same. You know: ‘pale, tall, pretty, glittering eyes, huge crotch bulge, etc.’ That gets on my nerves as a character designer.

“Strong female characters”
Flirty LIs/cocky/player LIs(no not bad boys theres a huge diffrence)
Putting my MC in skimpy/revealing clothing(only making 2% of an effort if ur MC wears a hijab)
Sex in any way shape or form
Art scenes
When the overlays are favored for fair skinned ppl(ik these things are an after thought but still…)
When MCs wear modest clothing and get put down for it in favor of revealing clothes
Making christians evil/rude/bigots
Sexual story covers(which is like 99% of episodes now)
When the story is marketed as FULL CC but its everything but skintone(99% of the time its not plot related…and when it is their race/culture is never mentioned once. Or its so the MC can match art scenes)
