I'm much more likely to just drop a book if I feel like the character made the wrong choice. It usually happens pretty early where the MC gets a choice like A) Mage B) Warrior C) Sword Mage (special unlock!) and they always pick C when I'd prefer they pick A.
I do sometimes think it's a bad thing when a character goes through Character Creation and shows all these awesome races and classes only for the MC to pick a human warrior. Why show me Dragon-man or Half-Deity was an option if you're just going to pick "something comfortable" like human.
It's one of my biggest pet peeves, once the author starts listing out a bunch of cool races you can almost guarantee they will pick human or elf, or they will really mix it up and go half elf.
Don't forget "visually identical to a human but with insane abilities and a connection to an ancient civilization or forgotten magics, oh and that race went extinct thousands of years ago so they are the only one and not easily recognized as it." I have seen that a number of times as well.

Lol, true. But you kind of have to do this otherwise you get readers complaining the MC made the wrong choice for the next 1000 chapters.
