I get very cranky when I notice authors doing this sort of thing, so thank you for your restraint, OP. The worst I've experienced was a m/m contemporary romance that was obviously based on Merlin (BBC). It wasn't a particularly good book, so I couldn't distract myself with the exciting plot or beautiful writing. Instead, reading it turned into a very boring game of "What absurdly obvious element drawn from the TV series will I spot next?" and I dropped the book midway through.

(I'm far less cranky about expies that feel more like an in-joke the author is sharing with the audience. Sherlock Holmes and John Watson are a good example. Anyone writing a mystery story knows that their readership will be alert to the possibility that the main characters are based on Holmes and Watson, so if they write Holmes and Watson expies anyway, they're wanting to be caught.)
