My top 5 Least favorite plot cliches.

1. The I am your father cliché. It's trite and typically I can see it coming. Not to say that it isn't fun, just that it is overdone.

2. The dreaming problem. The main character's venture being just a dream the entire time, isn't a new idea.

3. You aren't actually the hero. Learning the MC isn't the hero of legend is something that every single book seems to so. It isn't interesting.

4. Evil mentor, surprise the mentor to the hero was actually the villian the whole time. Boo. Think is something new.

5. Self sacrifice with survival. By this I really mean characters who are built up and sacrifice their lives for everyone, then in some unexplained way, they survive.
