Didn't read everything but 3 is most bad shit
didnt read everything too but HELL YESSS
HEAVY ON 1, 4, 5, AND 7!!! when characters do exactly what they’re not supposed to and tragedy befalls them- im not able to feel bad when it’s the one thing they weren’t supposed to do LMAO?? then, i can’t stand it when an mc is extremely reliant on peers/enemies being idiots or knuckleheads to appear smarter! the lack of effort is noticeable, and the near perfect capabilities clashes with their boring personality lmao. plus, nothing is wrong with getting help from other characters but if that’s their only purpose it’s redundant… seeing an mc lack any type of real struggle during their journey or having too many good coincidences comes off lazy since those directly show character development or a characters complex thought process
on top of that, randomly creating a harem based on that mc’s strength alone screams an author projecting their dream of women loving them for doing the bare minimum. it makes the women 1 dimensonal and their only purpose = thirsting over mc gets annoying/tiring
I agree so much on 4 3 and 7. 10/10 yapping my guy you are so right.
Here's a list of bad character writing or at least sloppy in my opion
1. Gullible or naive characters who don't listen to warnings then fall for traps and cry about the other party as if their the problem- it's like walking up to a child eating beast and putting a child in front of it then being surprised when it gets eaten. What did you expect?
2. characters who are used as family glue especially when they are tasked to mend relationships between hurt, abused, and neglected children just to fall in love with the person who did said actions.
3. No consequences for characters because they have become nice
4. Putting incompetent characters around the mc to make them look better rather then just actually making them better or more skilled.
5. Characters treating others as tools or extras but using them for their own benefit or when helping will look good for them- usually the mc
6. picking up companions for the savior appeal but the companion to only be seen or adressed once in awhile
7. Badly made harems- the people involved only seem to catch feeling for good deed people commonly show and have been taught since pre-k
8.god complex but they never loose or struggle- elceed is a book that shows how to write multiple characters who can have God complexes but because they struggle it helps humble them
9. aults coming from modern times then going to historical whether as an adult or child and diregarding common moral stand points for the plot
10. Those situations where they go to deal with a case or operation and just happening to stumble apon a forced or desperate character who they make into an Allie, what about the others who you just killed who could possibly be in similar positions- just capture and kill after finding out they have nothing to offer
11. Characters going the love contract or pact route before they venture to find others who were in similar situations who have gotten out- for example femal leads who find strong and independent women after they have formed a contract. It makes me think they didn't try to find help outside of a partner and took the fastest option.
