Writing while using tropes
I've found some old threads related to the topic:

... but nothing which would give the answer to the question I have, which is:
*Is it good to use tropes in your writing?*
Of course, I realize that to use tropes you have to be aware of them. I even made a page dedicated to the tropes in my setting.
But do you think I should strive to avoid tropes altogether or should I just embrace them?
