Re: Things you hate to see in published fiction

Informed traits. I hate when authors state a character is "smart" or "kind" or whatever because it's rarely ever shown.

This applies to all writing, but when a character is described as "nice until someone upsets them" like it's something unique to the character. Or when the same is used to erase flaws, like "easily panics but keeps calm during stressful situations", so it's not actually a flaw. I've seen this so many times it's seriously starting to bug me.

one book I read repeatedly referred to an abusive grandmother as "loving" even though there is NO passage in the book where she behaves with any affection whatsoever towards the kid. This drove me nuts.
