1. Poor format. Bad grammar. Terrible spelling, etc.

2. Nonsense things are described for pages, and important stuffs aren't. Detailed descriptions? No thanks, I don't feel like reading 10 pages describing a mountain. And yes, C. S. Lewis' "The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe" is one big example. Another one is Victor Hugo's "Les Misérables", which is a lengthy novel and the first book of it merely talks about a priest who never has any big impact on any other things in the book. (Alright, he does have a bit of influence on Valjean but that's all!)

3. Sex scenes, in details.

4. Flawless characters.

5. Vampires, werewolves... the fewer the magical creatures, the better.

6. Too many names appear right at the beginning. I have difficulties remembering names, so I'd like them introduced gradually... the fewer, the better, again.

7. Gays, or lesbians. I don't like reading about homosexuality.

8. Easy to guess who's the bad guy or how the story ends. Dan Brown is big at this.

9. Nonsense plots: a perfect guy falls for a mediocre girl, or something like that.

10. Battles in details: can I have a 2-page battle? please?
