Here's a list of bad character writing or at least sloppy in my opion
1. Gullible or naive characters who don't listen to warnings then fall for traps and cry about the other party as if their the problem- it's like walking up to a child eating beast and putting a child in front of it then being surprised when it gets eaten. What did you expect?
2. characters who are used as family glue especially when they are tasked to mend relationships between hurt, abused, and neglected children just to fall in love with the person who did said actions.
3. No consequences for characters because they have become nice
4. Putting incompetent characters around the mc to make them look better rather then just actually making them better or more skilled.
5. Characters treating others as tools or extras but using them for their own benefit or when helping will look good for them- usually the mc
6. picking up companions for the savior appeal but the companion to only be seen or adressed once in awhile
7. Badly made harems- the people involved only seem to catch feeling for good deed people commonly show and have been taught since pre-k
8.god complex but they never loose or struggle- elceed is a book that shows how to write multiple characters who can have God complexes but because they struggle it helps humble them
9. aults coming from modern times then going to historical whether as an adult or child and diregarding common moral stand points for the plot
10. Those situations where they go to deal with a case or operation and just happening to stumble apon a forced or desperate character who they make into an Allie, what about the others who you just killed who could possibly be in similar positions- just capture and kill after finding out they have nothing to offer
11. Characters going the love contract or pact route before they venture to find others who were in similar situations who have gotten out- for example femal leads who find strong and independent women after they have formed a contract. It makes me think they didn't try to find help outside of a partner and took the fastest option.
