Pet peeves in fantasy

>necromancy being used as a tool or being treated as morally neutral

Getting past how unseemly that would look to other nations that don't use undead for things like any kind of labor, your people getting replaced by cheaper labor will give them free time that any ruler would be dreading because they will have time to think about their situation and because they have fuck all to do, it will eventually lead to an uprising or worse, open rebellion. Also reanimating corpses is going to be really fucked up no matter how you try to spin it. The family that buried their great grandma Sophie have every right to scream, cry and call you every expletive under the sun after you desecrated her corpse.

>mages ruling anything well

So, while mages have the best background for ruling because they do typically come from nobility, being able to bend or even break reality is going to a lot of things to someone's mindset. Might make them tyrannical, have a god complex or any kind behavior that no one would want in a ruler. Also mages are typically anti-social, hiding in their wizard towers to ponder their orbs. How would that translate to a good ruler when one of the need skills for a ruler is reading people and being able to read into someone's intentions? I don't hate this as much as the first one and I think it can be done well but the worldbuilder needs to put in the work.

>Gods not needing power of belief or prayer to get their strength

I can't put this quite into words why exactly I hate this but I'll try. My main issue with this is by that logic, they aren't gods by that definition. They're just powerful beings either forcing themselves to either be worshipped as gods or are worshipped by mortals that have no real explanation other then "powerful being = god". I wish that some settings would acknowledge it but they never do.
