Well, not about you, but at least I get bad feelings when in any book I see characters like exiled drow ranger dualwielding scimitars, or any other too widely used character stereotypes. For me it's bad sign of the authors ability to think by himself/herself if (s)he uses only characters and stereotypes of characters used by almost every other author billions times. The fact that the characters and the types of characters has been used numerous times before by other authors and thus doesn't bring anything new to reader makes them so boring. And boring characters are leading quickly to the doom of the book.
