Do you have a favorite type of male character archetype? I like

>>154496837
I like people like the doctor from monster or samurai jack, who are pretty quiet but handle things.

Ikemen (female).

not really, i like various types

i have a smaller list of male characters i DON'T like, and the main dude from haganai is on that list for example

but i like characters like takeP, onizuka, kenshiro, juuza (hnk anime version), harima kenji, just to name a few

they just have to not be a generic dimwitted pussyfooting dingdong who is absurdly oblivious and indecisive and "is just watching out for sanctity of his club/justice/hobby/shoes/whatever"

in short, i hate really basic self-insert hoihoi

I'm quite fond of detective-like characters that take over the scenes they're in, though the same applies to women.
