Two things that I see more in self-pubbed titles than I've seen in Big 5 titles that really ruin my enjoyment of the book:
Characters that have no particular characterization and act merely as interchangeable pawns to move the plot forward.
An author whose narrative is too conversational. If the book is narrated in the first person, that is one thing. If a third person narration is like that, I figure the author doesn't know what s/he is doing.
