I haven't seen anyone mention tentacle porn... it's so fucking boring. Tentacle rape is the stale bread of porn games (for me). I don't hate it as much as some of other genres. I still draw a sigh of exasperation every time a view a (seemingly) promising game with a screenshot of a tentacle scene. The game will in all likeliness take a trip to bland town.

A thing that also catches my loathing in general is over–accessorizing a character in leau of personality. They couldn't make an interesting character so they put things on her, until she is more accessory than human... until the creator's own insecurities about their work is sated. Or the studio decided to strip all the soul out of the character (make her more "relatable", by being nothing at all) and have a field day in mediocre town. These games also has a tendency to paint their world in bright colours, as the world itself is uninteresting. Dressed up like their empty shell of a person, we are supposed to see as their MC.

In random order:
The stupid main character.
I am not asking for a genius but can the main charaters atleast have common sense.
Stupidity physical hurts.
It makes me curious if the developer considers there fans morons and project his distate for them on the main charater.
Or if the developer is that stupid which i find hard to believe since coding require a brain to learn.

I saw a dick and now i must have it.
The normal reaction to seeing someones dick is yell pervert and trow stuff at him until he leaves.
Every time i see a girl getting turn obsessive because she saw the main charaters dick i just face palm.
It is double bad for incest games as family reaction to seeing there father/brother dick shoudnt in 99% of the cases cause arousal.

Narating the obvious.
Yes game i am paying attantion you dont need to have your main charater mention what he is doing right now i got eyes and i can see it happening.
Stop threating me like i am 5.

The peeping game.
Look i am not interested in seeing them naked.
I want to fuck them not just look at them.
Beside short skirts with a tank top looks nicer anyway.
Seeing them naked doesnt do much for me.
But so many games have broken shower doors or other ways to look without touching.
I get that you want to show of your handy work but teasing with clothing works beter.
The thrill of unwraping the sex toy is more enjoyable then just seeing her naked body and leaving nothing to discover.

Mind control easy slut mode.
Mind control is my main fetish.
I enjoy the idea of control over others.
Of the power of domination.
And what greater power of domination is there then the compleet control over someones mind and body?
Unfortantly most mind control games threat's mind control as easy slut mode.
You are never in control, just make her more and more a slut.
There are very few good mind control games who remember the key part of mind control is control.
I wish they just striped those of there mind control tag.
They clearly just corruption* games.

Lucky main charater.
Luck is a very dangerous plot device.
Having the main charater find just what he needs can be done if use sparingly but if the only reason the plot work is because of luck is a big no.
I cheapens the conquest by making main charater unaturaly lucky and not earning his spoils.

Lets give power to the main charater for no other reason then because we can.
Lust demons, genies, fairies, etc.
Having some outsider give you the power to enslave and turn woman into sex toys doesnt work for a few very simple reasons:
1: to easy.
See luck above.
2: Someone else is granting you the power to enslave others rather then just using it on you?
Convient plot devices.
3: Someone else has the real power and your the tool.
You not the one enslaving them your benifactor is.
4: For some reason these benifactors never see your betrayel comming.

Giving in to rape.
Ok this one is a bit tricky.
Rape as a breaking tool works fine.
Breaking someone will and then retraining them into accepting them being your slut is a sweet victory.
Raping someone and they start loving it within minute's is just cheap.

No consequences.
Go ahead and peak she wont discover you.
Nah mother wont call the cops because your raped her.
Sister doesnt tell anyone about the sperm she found in her pussy when waking up.
Mother is behaving like a mindless drone.
Nothing to worry about.
Raping someone makes them perfectly ok with you doing it to them again or there friends and family.
No struggle, no fights, no risk vs reward, no nothing.

In short:
We are gamers.
We want to be rewarded for our effort.
Not being given everything but also not having to spend hours doing meaningless tasks for minnor rewards.
The effort must be eqaul to the reward or it isnt worth it.
And grinding 4 hours to get a kiss is not worth it.

*Corruption games are awesome when done well.

When the male MC (almost) gets a heart attack as he sees a pair of boobs or a girl in her underwear.
when you can see what everyone else is thinking.
Resetting memory of the MC every day/scene.
Braindead MC.
When you have to choose what other people will do to your female MC. (when you play just one character).

Lets be real you dont get good grades. No for real though all stupid spiteful jokes aside anyone that isnt braindead understands the difference between fiction and reality. XD
WOAH, boi. You're obviously offended because you face-palmed my comment and wrote this mean little one. I'm not going to pretend like I'm a scholar of pornography, but loli is the attraction to prepubescent children-regardless of fiction or reality.

I'm not judging, but that's just a fact.

Im going to be honest man, I was half asleep when I typed that and when I think I see people acting with genuine ignorance I get annoyed enough to say something so I am sorry about that. ;) But to be honest just because the majority does not understand what it objectively is, well it isnt on me to teach them that liking ANYTHING fictional isn't a crime. It shouldn't be treated anymore fucked up than other fetishes, it would be like trying to condem people who like rape PORN/hentai for the crimes of actual rapists.

Loli- let's be real, its paedophilia
Actually, the problem with the Loli tag is it's not age specific. For example, the landlady in DokiDoki Little Landlady (one of my favorites besides the Loli-Milf in Alfie) is older than the adult male protaganist but is listed as Loli based on her petite nature. Games, hentai and anime use it as a physical description, not an age description. Even oppai loli's suffer from this as I've seen Milf hentai characters listed as oppai loli just because of their tiny heights.

Of course, the other issue is Loli is still used to describe anyone under 18, including the lovely blonde bombshell in Energy Kyouka!! who's built like a brickhouse, could easily be mistaken as a Milf instead, and any man would make the mistake of believing was 23 before finding themselves in a jail for inadvertent paedophilia.

There is a name for that, "deus ex machina" and it is basically an unexpected and contrived solution that arrives just in the nick of time to solve an issue that could not have been solved any other way.

Not a trope but I fucking hate when games give you a choice to order different items on a restaurant menu. I mean, for fucks sake, unless the girl is a vegan and I have a choice between a vegan meal and meat, I dont really give a shit what the MC eats, neither should the girl. I don't remember the last time I invited a girl on a date and got brownie points for ordering the same thing she did. More often one of us would order something else so we can try some off one another's plate.

1) Lose to see the good stuff.
2) Girls needing to be 'corrupted' as if they were pure virgins at the start of the game. (Only exception if they literally were, but we know they aren't)
3) Antagonists who happen to be behind the 'locked' door that took you forever to unlock. (For both porn RPGs and non-porn RPGs)
4) Bad pacing/tedium in getting simple tasks done.

All off the top of my head for now.

I hate the "socially awkward protagonist" which seems to be the case in most games. Being a bit dense is one thing, but speaking entirely in stutters is just annoying. One of my favorite VNs is for this reason. He never just rolls with the punches going along with every whim of the heroines and can hold his own in a conversation, being the "tsukkomi" to the girl's crazy antics(which is essentially making fun of the tropes, such as calling out a girl when she is acting like a tsundere)

Mine would have to be the cuckold/ntr thing in almost every adult game, along with the trope of all of the men wanting to mindlessly fuck the female main character like in Lida's Adventure, Lily of the Valley, and Manila Shaw: Blackmail's Obsession.

Coming late but adding, apart from the fact that I agree with some already mentioned ones:

(In an otherwise mostly "our real world" game) Overly sexy clothing all the time. Police women in mini skirts showing their panties. "Naked with an apron all day" milfs. Saleswomen with 99% sideboob during their job. High heels where it just doesn't make sense.

Also, while I do not dislike the "Stairway to Heaven" mentioned before but consider it realistic if well made, I hate the overuse of "peeping in the shower" and "approach the bed at night, reveal the blanket, finger pussy, masturbate" tropes.

And "too innocent" girls. Virgin - okay. Never having had a real interest in any boy (maybe outside the MC) - okay. Feeling uncomfortable talking about sexual topics - okay. But don't tell me that an 18 year doesn't know about anything, maybe not even masturbation, or that a gorgeous girl never got any compliments by anybody.
