>>457808Samefag, I found another one I hate. When a character goes through something bizarre then they think it was all a dream and never happened, except in reality,
it did happen. And it's never brought up again. Very frustrating.

Getting really sick of this trope
>woman, usually in her mid to late 20s
>in some big city, usually New York
>obsessed with appearance
>she's so hot with a perfect body and perfect yassified face and perfect hair
>constantly thinking about her own body and how perfect it is, how she has a perfect tiny waist, perfect tits, long legs etc etc
>mentioned even when it's not relevant
>constantly comparing herself to other women and thinking about how perfect she is compared to them
>book always has to remind us every 2 pages how she's so perfect, lest we forget
>all the female characters hate her guts except maybe 1 token female friend
Don't get me wrong, women who think like this exist. I'm aware of that, but my main problem is instead of being an examination of someone who thinks like this, it always becomes a glaringly obvious self insert for the author. Not helped by the fact that usually these characters have other enviable circumstances like a high end job that makes a ton of money, and/or fame/notoriety. Their mentality is never challenged though out the book, every male character in the book will immediately forget his wife exists as soon as the MC enters the room and will practically hurt himself trying to get her attention. Not to mention somewhere like NYC extremely thin women with plastic surgery and perfectly done highlights are probably a dime a dozen. Another book with this trope would be Stone Cold Fox, but I think that book was actually good, unlike this one which is trash and disappointing imo

>>461428Kek, reminds me of The Abyss
>It bothers us that you fight, thus we're going to kill all of you!>Oh, one of you loves his ex-wife? I guess we'll desist from murdering every single one of you without distinction.Aliens have always been used as a stand-in for sanctimonious self-righteous scrote authors and when I was a kid I hated all of them. Probably why I still love 40k, kill them all, fuck xenos.
