What are your book pet peeves?

[AlpacaTheBags]

What tropes or clichés annoy you in books?

I have so many but one is when the main character is at risk so they move far away to make a new life where no one will be able to connect them to their past. Good plan but they always go to some tiny coastal or rural village(Population 150) and buy or rent the most well known and distinctive building in the place(Usually a potter's or lobster fisherman's cottage.)

And then when the villain inevitably catches up with them, they always run towards the cliffs to have their final encounter. I don't know why because you can guarantee that at least one of them is going over the cliff.

Thought of another one: needless repetitions in the ongoing story across books in a series. One series I really enjoyed I spotted reading when yet another couple got divorced. The protagonist was on wife number 5, other returning characters had split with their partners and now the couple whose relationship had grown during the series were divorcing out of the blue. Seemed as though it was a side point of the author. See also another series where the two main female characters fell pregnant after one night stands.
