I have no idea what came into the mind of the person that made this tier list. This is a tier list of "tropes in media," and this is clearly written by someone who just knows what tropes are.

A lot of the entries are basic storytelling tropes that most, if not, all stories need like protagonists, antagonists, philosophy, themes, foreshadowing, symbolism, what do you mean by "psychology?"

A couple of these are actual tropes. Moral greyness, dark subject matter, betrayals, references, open ending, but some of them I have no idea why you put them there. All the things that fall under "Subversions" can also count as "Genre Deconstructions." Why do you distinguish between the two?

Some of the entries are just baffling. Why the hell is "writing" in B=tier? That's the basic underlying foundation that makes all these tropes possible. "Show, don't tell" is on C-tier because it "doesn't add much to the writing." That sounds like someone from Book Tok would say. Yeah, just give me the plot summary instead of describing it in detail.

L-Trope? More like L tier.
