>MC's Goal: Revenge What's the best goal for a MC?

>Strives to do nothing and lead a peaceful life.

Save humanity

Something that is neither "I MUST SAVE EVERYONE" shit nor a personal goal, like revenge, family or a loved one's affection

>MC's Goal: Revenge
That only works wen the MC actually gets is revenge. Nothing worst than seeingan edgemaster pussying out.

Whatever goal works, really. Even fucking your wife and your wife's daughter works as long as the MC act engagingly and entertainingly towards that goal.

I'm enjoying Dr. Stone's goal of restoring civilization and technology through actually building shit instead of just trying to defeat some enemy that threatens to damage/continue damaging the status quo.

Could use more pussy slaying though, since MC is somewhere between Tesla-tier disregarding distracting females and actual closet fag.

I always lose motivation to keep watching anime where the MC has no motivation.

>by no means, in success or failure, must the operation be traced back to the United Nations. However, for all this secrecy to be effective, even in victories the assault choppers will have to be destroyed... and the pilots killed.

Become god of the new world

Bury painful problems and tries to move on.

Freedom.

Don't ask me why or how, but for plot reasons the MC's goal is to die. However, finding a way to do so and succeed is incredibly hard. Also, protect others I guess.

Become the fastest racer on the Akina downhill

>>161670683
To be a hero.

Specifically, the hero that brings happiness, not just protection. First, there's the "police" type. These are faggot that get paid to catch criminals. They're no heroes. They're only pretenders, faggots who just think they're heroes but are nothing more than gloried guard dogs. Then there's the "guardian" type. These are heroes that protect people from danger and ask for nothing in return. These are noble heroes. But they're too selfless, too impersonal for me to care about, and their effort is ultimately vain, as people will never stop dying and there are hundreds of thousands dying every day. Saving as many as you can is respectable, but not entertaining.

The heroes I'm talking about are the ones who protect smiles and give life. They don't have to protect the masses. Protect just one person, becoming a hero for that one person personally and give them the courage to live, not just protection. Give them happiness. Or just focus on doing that for everyone in the world. Struggle to change the very nature of the world, make it into one where there's no sadness and everyone is happy. These are the most lovable heroes. The true heroes.
