Hated trope you used

[Haku45]

What your hated trope, you used in your story. Most tropes in gold hands can work. And I curious, could you do it properly

 

[Lloyd]

Amnesiac protagonist

 

[BearlyAlive]

Different shades of the "arrogant young master" trope for easy access villains in the prologue

 

[LilRora]

I don't know if I would call that a trope, but I did a very open ending with some unfinished plot points. A number of readers complained it felt rushed and incomplete, but many also really liked it.

Considering that such an open ending was my intention, I call that a win.

McMuffins... Sorry! I mean, macguffin!

[Representing_Tromba]

Losing the ability to feel fear trope. It's not common but it almost always has problems for the story.

 

[Tempokai]

System user, but antagonistic. Botched the scene hard, I don't want to even look at it without cringing right now to rewrite it.

Arrogant young master
Old grandpa figure
Revenge story
A related family that wants MC dead
Dwarfs living under mountains and being good with tech

I used them because I was fed up with Chinese cultivation tropes and wrote my own, with me thinking how it should have been done. So yeah, I used a lot

 

[Conqueror_Quack]

Dwarfs living under mountains and being good with tech

Corty is an elf, isn't he?

I'm fabulous

 

[expentio]

Cliffhanger with almost every chapter and an adventurer tier system from F to A and S.

 

[RootBeerBert]

For, at least the first part of my book, my protagonist is somewhat of a pushover, in part because she’s weak and vulnerable in the new world she found herself in. But also because she’s so socially attention starved that she’ll put up with disrespect and rudeness (as long as it isn’t violent) since it means people are technically interested in her.

A trope I hate that I used anyways...
I regret adding an antagonistic force to my story. My main conflict was supposed to be internal, but I was worried that nobody would be interested if I didn't have some world ending threat trying to eat my characters.
(Well, that's not the whole truth. I sort of reused old assets from older works of mine, and it was very convenient and reasonable.)
But when I finished with the conflict I set out to write, I still had this nasty world ending threat sitting around, and despite that, my heart said the goal was finished and I didn't need to write anymore. Trying to continue was like writing the sequel that nobody wanted.
I probably still could have finished it if life hadn't done its thing, but... Well, if I'd known how things would turn out, that's what I would have changed.
