What are your most hated fanfic tropes

[Theman]

I strongly dislike the non-killing heroic MCs. Especially if they go out of their way to save the villain, who just murdered and tortured kids or so. Not just not killing them, but actively preventing villains from dying because of their own stupidity.

Oh, and the MC is totally okay with committing any other crimes apart from killing for their own convenience.

Why? I mean it's usually done badly, but it could be done in a good way where the hero will just cripple the villain if they are at the level where death is warranted. In fact it'd be kind of interesting to have a worm fic where the MC takes a no killing drawback and instead just uses gray boy powers or turns the bad guy into a Servitor if they are evil enough to warrant death. At first criminals laugh at the no killing rule then the find him the most terrifying.

My problem with 'no killing' rule is that I often see that has with a moral logic that is honestly not tied to any sense of good or evil.

So, let's say you don't kill because killing is bad.
So you would logically force the state to never kill.
But that never happens. For the MC, the government is somehow above their rule.

That not to say that often for those it doesn't matter whether you are killing someone who arguably deserves it, like Gihren Zabi.
The 'kill' is bad, worse than the bad guy who killed millions.

Come on. Killing is an action, it can either be a good action or a bad one.
You can kill people like Griffith, Gihren, Jamitov, Blue Cosmos, Joker and others, and others. That would not be a bad act.

Now if you kill the guy crossing the street? You are evil.

Often those guys SEEM critically unable to differentiate both, which means they are unable to say what is good or what is evil, to which the main question is 'why are you playing superhero then? You don't have the condition to do that '

This describes it really well. Especially with MC who break laws left and right, yet this is the hill they'll die on.

More so you know from past events that the villain won't reform, will escape soon, and do it all over again. Especially with meta-knowledge.

Reminds me of this manga I read like ten years ago, where the Mc had to clean up after all the goodie two shoes isekai mcs that didn't kill the demon king/bbeg, or otherwise died or screwed up. He basically had to kill the demon king/bbeg, and even sometimes the isekai hero that joined forces with evil for whatever selfish reasons. I think it was called something along the lines of "I clean up after the heroes leave."

On the other hand, it's also amusing when it's an MC who doesn't mind killing and crimes but an otherwise irredeemable antagonist gets a pass because the author couldn't possibly have their MC kill a girl ESPECIALLY an attractive one lol

TSMT. Like I get hesitating to kill women is culturally, and to some extent biologically engrained in some of us, but god damn, sometimes "off with her head" is the only way to solve the issue.

I mean you could have a Superman tier guy who enforces a no kill rule on everyone, and will permanently cripple anyone who tries to kill would be interesting having a story where an entire army that is going to war or a police action gets crippled.
