I'm pretty easy going on a lot of stuff. Even stuff I don't like I'll read it if the plot and writing is good. (I.E. Yaoi) Most of my dislikes in fanfiction has to do more with the commenters than the stories. However, there are some things that I can't stand in a story.
1. Too many 'important' characters. (Usually in massive harem fics.) If you can't give decent screen time (As in more than a paragraph per chapter) to a character (And hopefully some character building as well.), then they might as well not exist.
2. Lemons that take away from the plot. Newsflash: Just because it is porn, doesn't mean it makes the story better. If your porn doesn't go with (or support) the plot, don't add it in. If you still want to add it in, rewrite it so it fits the plot. Otherwise, just write porn if you don't want to make a plot to go with it.
3. Alt-power fics that still put the MC in the exact same situations with no change, including other power ups they get. (I.E. MHA fics are the worst about this, with Izuku being born with a powerful Quirk or getting some other special power and still getting One for All from All Might in the exact same way as canon.)
4. Handwaving important events in the story in the background with nothing more than a sentence to say it happened. (I.E. Mindwiping several important characters of information, named side antagonist/important character leaving the story.)
5. Any kind of High School or Slice of Life fic made with characters from a completely different genre without their powers or even memories from their own genre. (I.E. Naruto characters born and raised in modern times with no powers going to High School.) You want to have a character that looks and acts like Naruto end up in High School? Have him be reincarnated with all his memories there or depowered and sent there or something. A lot of his entire personality is because of where he was born, raised, and the experiences he had there. Not because he is named Naruto Uzumaki.
6. (Not really a trope. More like bad writing, IMO.) Not enough detail describing a character when they show up the first time. Sometimes no detail at all other than just naming them. (I.E. "Dan Dastardly (the main antagonist in the story) is attacking the MC ten chapters into the story and winning when out of nowhere Heroine Z shows up to save the day. Z jumps over and attacks Dan Dastardly." Who the hell is Z? What do they look like? Oh they are a famous character and I should know what they look like automatically? GTFO.)
