What are some of the most cliche fanfic plots?

You name it... I need the most ridiculous, overdone, and cliche fanfic tropes you have ever encountered, or are encountering over and  over and over again..

Some of the ones I have:

- Idol

- Vampire

- Werewolf

- Mafia gang

- High school kingka queenka

- Living next door/under one roof 

- Being the sister of an idol

- Gender bender

- Love at first sight

- ???

 

This may or may not be a new story idea. If you have read Trapped in a K-Drama, you know where this is going. So give me all the things you love/hate when reading a fanfic. Thank youuu~

Cliche plots like highschool badboy falls in love with the oc, love-hate relationship. Or an oc who is "strong and pushes people away because something has happened to her past to be like that. " kinda gets annoying u know lol.

Oh my gosh are you planning on writing something similar to Trapped in a kdrama? I still need to catch up with some of your stories before I start my senior year. But if it's something you're writing I'm up for it

-Bullying that eventually leads to romance~ (bcause they always face to face and can't rid the other from their mind; "oh my I just realized I'm in love all the time")
- A bet -> romance (again)
- A plot where one of the main char is too innocent or too stupid to know that someone is in love with them, so the story has a slooowww progression

When strong female leads suddenly loses her touch after falling for a guy. Like where's the attitude you had before you met him? Or where did the attitude come from before you met him? xD

What I dislike in fanfics:
- If you're going to torture your character(s) dont overdo it. Bullying, abuse, death, sickness, poverty, all on one character. One mishap after another. Seriously, that Cinderella syndrome needs to stop. How unlucky can a person really be? Damsels in distresss are the absolute turn offs for me.
- How the 2nd female leads (if it's one of those generic love triangle fics) are actually just stupid and mean instead of really truly 'evil'. Most fics I've read, these 2nd female leads are actually just jealous, whiny little brats. They lack passion in getting what they want and they could do better honestly.
- male leads that feel like they are obliged to protect the female lead 24/7. Boy... just stop.

What I like:
- anything and everything that doesn't have what i dislike. Im cool with all genres.

How is genderbend a cliche? O-O (genuinely curious on that one)
Anyway, the most cliche plot for me is the kingka/queenka high school romance because ... well, there's nothing new, no way to make it new either because there are such a character stereotype within that kind of fic as well that just makes it ... well, super cliche lmao

- A girl has been secretly crushing on her best-friend who is pinning for another girl. When a new guy shows interest in said girl the best-friend suddenly realizes his feelings for her and they end up together, blah blah blah (that doesn't always happen in real life)
- A overly nice girl falls for the bad-boy who could care less at first but her heart of gold manages to tear down his harsh exterior and makes him fall for her and change his ways.
- An arranged marriage (Version 1) : the girl actually likes the guy but he clearly doesn't and already has a gf he adores but eventually he'll fall for our main girl and his gf would do whatever it takes to tear them apart.
Version 2 : There is no other girl but the guy mistreats his wife but being the kind soul she is she makes do with the pain and hopes he'll change. Eventually a new guy comes alone who helps her see the wrongdoings of her husband (whom she loves for some reason, let's say they were close when they were young and she had feelings for him) so she decides to leave him the latter realizes his mistakes and does whatever it takes to win her back. He does succeed eventually.
- A girl and her nerdy best-friend who suddenly goes to puberty and becomes a hot guy and in turn starts hanging out with the popular crowd and slowly distances himself from his childhood best-friend. ( alert)
- An ugly girl (who wasn't even ugly to begin with) undergoes a drastic transformation and catches the eyes of the most popular guy unbeknownst to her another guy (also popular, maybe the first guy's best-friend) already liked her even before she turned into this beautiful swan.
