Daenerys is annoying for the following reasons:

1. She's a selfish, entitled, ungrateful brat

2. She's stupid and proud of it.

3. She's a hypocrite on almost everything.

4. She takes credit for other people's work.

5. She takes no responsibility for her mistakes.

All of these are pretty obvious, but I'll add that he relies on the work of strong men advising and protecting her, yet thinks that she;s the greatest person who ever lived and that everyone else must bow down to her, and despite her relying on luck (genetic mutation making her immune to fire, dragons basically falling from the sky and landing on her lap, Barristan Selmy randomly joining her, Kraznys owner of the Unsullied being a complete idiot, etc.) rather than skill or wits.

Compare her to Arya, who survived six whole days on her own without anyone, including Sandor, Yoren, Jaqen, Syrio, Barristan, Grey Worm, Naharis, Jorah, or dragons. She's just a 10-year-old wanted by the king and queen traveling through war-torn lands. I don't expect her to be Superman. But she survived all alone for six days after leaving the Hound until she reached Saltpans (which was immediately sacked and burned, which shows that the outlaws were on her heels). Daenerys by contrast, could not survive sis minutes on her own. The first thing she did when she found herself all alone is eat poisonous berries, which shows you that those strong men around her must have been saving her idiotic ass a hundred times a day.

So basically, when it comes to characters like Arya - fine, I'll admit she's overrated. But she doesn't pretend to be the greatest person of all time and expect the world to bow down and worship her. You can't say the same thing about the spoiled bratty narcissist known as the Mother of Dragons.
