{15 Day Book Blogger Challenge} Day 14: Deal Breakers

Hello guys and sorry for taking two days off this wonderful challenge that Good Books and Good Wine started. Today I am doing day number 14 in which we talk about our buzzkills in books.
First lets go through the no way around it buzzkills.
No matter the way that it’s done it always disappoints me is a weak main character, for me it doesn’t matter if the characters was rich, poor, has/had a family, personal tragedy, etc. He/She must find a way to keep on going and keep from falling into the same mistakes time and time again.
Characters in an abusive relationship with a way out that decide to stay because of reasons... do I need to say more?
Important deaths that just feel meh, I don’t want to feel meh if the character is important to the story at least make my throat feel the knot forming.
Characters that just steal important page time from the main characters that have no real use on the story.
The other part of my buzzkills is in the execution, I don’t care if you use a love triangle but truly make me believe that both guys have a shot or maybe you want to use some cliches well give it a twist people!! or maybe you want to do a cliffhanger ending it’s ok to do that but don’t do one that will leave the reader with the feeling that he/she needs to hunt you down (not in a good way).
This are my buzzkills what are yours?
