Coming from reading a lot of RomComs, and recently,
Hanazono-sanchi no Futago-chan
I remember one now: the dreaded last-minute time-skip. Nothing good ever comes from that being employed. Instead of a satisfying wrap up, we suddenly jump 2 years into the future, where somehow nothing changed, and then we get the conclusion. But the air is let out with a weak whimper, and all that emotional buildup was for nothing.
Omg i hate that stuff so much.
After suffering through reading whatever tsundere filled crap for way too many chapters it finally looks like some good stuff is going to happen but then you get bamboozled with "and they all lived happily ever after".

I hate this stuff so much with sports/hobby/art focused manga were they end the story after the first somewhat success the mc has...

Dunno about other countries but at least in the Netherlands and Northern France land holding nobles were often named by their highest holding and it would change when their holding changed.
Like "first name" of "name of holding".
Sometimes in old manuscripts lord with different holdings would be mentioned with differing "surnames" depending on the writer.
Sometimes when their family was famous enough they would be called by that instead in varying cases.
But i haven't seen a "John of Holland, king of Holland" but i haven't seen any late medieval text spelling out complete names and titles as they perhaps would have done when announcing some nobles arrival at an official event.
Most of the surviving sources seem to be ledgers and stuff like that were they keep stuff concise.
The thing is, those title are "reversed" in that the "holding" takes precedence.
Let's say I'm John Doe and through marriage and buying land I've become a baron in the region of Champagne. Per European customs I'd be called "Baron John of Champagne" or "John of Champagne".
In these comics it would be "John Doe of the Doe barony", instead and that's my issue.

Characters being completely in love with someone because they did something nice (tbh it's usually just basic politeness) to them once 15 years ago
