The main cast having plot armor from anything bad always kind of annoys me personally.

Anyone coming back from the dead. If you're dead stay dead. Its frustrating to see amazing character development and a heart wrenching death only to be ruined by "Hey guys! I'm back! crawls out of the grave"
People being able to master a martial arts in all of a hot minute as the plot demands. Or really any skill for that matter. It drives me bonkers when someone after training for six months can go toe-to-toe and defeat a master
Redemption through sacrificial combat, I just love a character who is willing to put their all into a fight looking to be saved or to save those he loves. Make me just want to scream and cheer for the guy or girl
-The "hot-headed" poorly developed protagonist in shonen mangas.
-"This protagonist is so special", everybody falls in love with them, is super powerful, is the chosen one but is never particularly interesting.
-Present the girls who like fashion and makeup as brainless or mean girls.
The bitchy girl that's there only to get in the way between two boys falling in love. They have trained fujoshis to be suspicious of any woman that appears in a mxm story and auto-hate them 
.
I dislike it when a new character/ love interest is introduced in a romance comic, SOLELY to be the villain and create misunderstandings between the main characters. Why not at least make them likable, or act like a real person?
Oh god i agree with this.
I have been doing jujitsu for more than three years now and i still can't beat my master in a long way
Some really convoluted misunderstanding that “divides” the main cast that’s easily solvable by basic communication.
Also love triangles in any way, shape, and form
Asshole characters for the sake of being asshole characters or having asshole characters, with no explanation or necessity to their assholery.
Long as we're here.
When THE CHOSEN ONE has NOT demonstrated any reason to be 'the chosen one' and secondary characters have shown better potential to be doing the important stuff.
Like, why is the new character chosen to be the test pilot when there is already a 'best in the school' or Dojo or at the base or in the program or is already out there doing missions...?
Like, why are we going with this untapped potential over a fully skilled not-main-character?
The girl that gets a ball kicked/thrown in her face by her love interest. Every. Single. Ducking. Time. I JUST WANNA SEE A GIRL CATCH THAT BALL FOR ONCE instead of being carried of gallantly to the infirmary where he stays at her side asdfghjkl!!!
Oh, or: Oh no, someone jumps in fron of a car to save Love interest and either gets hit instead or both get away.
Major tableflip on my account in both cases.
Very spefically, gay person dying to act as character growth for the other gay character. Cheap revenge plotlines. Stop killing your gays, it's fucking awful and as a gay man growing up I literally could not see a happy future because representation MATTERS.
Very specific version of the people coming back from the dead: the fake out death. Like ok, I don't mind people coming back from the dead if that's a plot thing or if it's done well like certain ones where you have an obvious consequence because people aren't supposed to come back or you have a necromancer (on that note read the Necromancer manga if you can it's a fantastic example of sure people can come back but there are consequences and no one is happy in the end). Fine ok. But fake out deaths. You get 1 fake out death allowance from me and that's it. And that fake out had better have consequences. If you're constantly expecting me to grieve for a character like they're dead then bring them back next chapter, I'm going to stop caring. Or worse they're gone for a year or more to really trick you and then return but they return like it's nothing. Just like "oh hey I didn't die nvm" and the rest of the cast are like "oh hey good to have you back". It's like bringing someone back cheaply, but worse.
You know that trope where the fan-favorite character dies a horrible, gruesome death and comes back seasons later, not dead, body intact, same personality, with the same memories as before, thus making the previous death of said character hollow?
Also you know that trope where the least liked character for some reason keeps being brought back to life because... reasons?
coughs in the general direction of RWBY
(Yes I know it's not a comic but shh let me have my moment)
Okay so, something specific to Webtoons: Not a huge fan of the trope where the MC (usually female) is either average-looking or flat-out ugly, learns how to be beautiful/handsome, and a good part of the story is "will their peers find out their true appearance oh noo read to find out". It's the main reason why I never, and probably will never, read True Beauty. Read Lookism for a bit and stopped lmao.
(like, NOBODY looks that different when putting on makeup. You still have the same face. WHY does the MC in True Beauty look so different as opposed to having no makeup what-)
I heard Lookism IS good, it's just not my cup of tea, though.
