I’m kinda weeb in this regard so I’ll try and explain best I can.
I personally am big fan of kuudere characters. Characters that are generally emotionless. I like them because it feels like when they finally show or express their emotion it’s earned.
I now this is a favorite but I really dislike tsundere characters. Characters that generally express their emotions opposite to their targets. I understand that more than anything it’s usually a plot advancing device but still I feel like tsunderes shouldn’t always be the main girl when they always show anger even if it’s faux anger.
In a similar vein, there has been a rise of mesugaki characters / bratty. I also hate them because it’s basically just one sided humiliation and bullying

bratty n tsundere characters are popular for pretty good reason i'd say but i get why people wouldn't like them. in general i feel attracted to specifically those types of characters but in less definable archetypes.
like i love women that will kill me or others, that's awesome. or when the girl is one of those bratty types and the secondary character is someone who can match that energy. wario waluigi type of dynamic. that's really fun.
i'm not sure if there's specific character traits that i dislike, i always think that you can make anything into a great story whether or not it's typically considered "good" or "bad". like for example a possessive, narcissistic character would seem dislikeable, but they can be written in a way that makes them attractive, or compelling or something. i think that's fun.
i also like nerds, i think they're important to the betterment of the society in my pants.
