One characteristic could be overly simplistic or cliched storylines. For example, the same tired tropes of the damsel in distress being'saved' by the male love interest in a very predictable way.

Also, the writing quality could be sub - par, with lots of grammar and spelling mistakes, which makes it hard to get immersed in the story.
