I know this is probably a common topic. For me, I’m not sure if it’s a “trope” or just totally misinformed writing, but it’s how many authors approach alcoholism. Some examples are Girl on the Train and The House Across the Lake, among HUNDREDS. If anyone else here has struggled with alcoholism, you know it’s not just "i woke up after downing an entire bottle of whiskey but was able to shower, down a cup of coffee, and solve a murder. "
It didn’t stand out to me until my wife pointed it out, but the “every female character wants to sleep with the male main character” thing really is off-putting.
Also, I really dislike the time travel problem where no matter what changes you make in the past, it always makes the future worse.
Time travel stories that end with someone choosing to stay in the earlier, simpler times of disease and prejudice/sexism.
Asimov had a great spin on that called “The Ugly Little Boy”. I really felt the ending.
