What is something you guys are tired of seeing in fantasy writing? Ditto for Sci-fi writing? I'm an aspiring author (kinda) and I want to know what mistakes to avoid. If this is a dumb question tell me to fuck off

I've sent out around 5 fantasy short stories to various sites, and I've yet to have any be accepted for publishing. I know 5 isn't a lot, but the first three were upwards of ten thousand words each, and it was just crushing putting so much effort into characters and worlds just to have to not do anything with them.

How do I get over the rejection? I think another issue I have is that once a story gets rejected so many times, I just have to shelve it and never to anything with it. There are only so many websites to submit to, you know?
