Being Fed Up with a Trope

[Serah]

I wonder if any of you can relate.

In general I am fond of certain story tropes, even they happen quite often like e.g. "isekai-overpowered by chance-harem"-trinity (we all know its sort of holy trinity the way it appears).

But a certain trope I feel kinda fed up with: protagonist being ditched by their party because party (leader) consider them trash/unnecessary/useless, just for that protagonist turn out to be the essential pillar of the party. Especially those "once the buffer is gone no one paid attention to everything falls apart"-trope.

Not sure what triggers me specifically about that, like missing appreciation from boss or whatsoever, but I really feel fed up with that trope and avoid it like pest.

How do you feel about (such) tropes?

Any trope you dislike?

@Serah I'm tired of the whole ishikai genre as a whole. I wish we could see more new stories revolving around normal, non-magic people and beasts/monsters, and how they interact and survive together in this world or another.

@karasutengu one of the reasons why I am rather fond of how it is going with They Don’t Know I’m Too Young for the Adventurer’s Guild

I absolutely detest the super dense protag that thinks they have no power but are actually the most powerful.
"The Brilliant Healer's New Life in the Shadows" is an example of that one.
I hate the trope so bad I will not ever start a novel with a title that indicates that as a premise. I will also immediately drop a novel if it turns out that is the premise.
