>Harem manga/anime >MC isn't a beta bitch boi How

Because the MC is supposed to function as a self-insert for the viewer.

What i don't get is why you wouldn't want to self insert as someone cool and capable.

Also, it's something of an entrenched cliché. There's no medium more incestuous than anime, so you constantly see the same clichés return in a lot of seasonal shows (especially bottom of the barrel harem). I'm pretty sure you could rig a computer in such away that it shits out a harem anime plot every month (and who is to say that isn't the reason why they keep popping up almost every season?).

Most harem MCs are an idealized version of the average Japanese viewer: Lazy, useless, perverted but too afraid of consequences to act on it. Women in harem shows hang around the MC because that's what the plot demands, even if it makes no sense.

Most people don't aspire to be better, they aspire to be comfortable. If every show had an MC like sensei, it would lead to resentment from the lazy useless perverted audience.

You know I wonder if we'll eventual get one that tries to side step this issue by having the MC not the one with the harem, but the Obligatory best friend in one.

in the vn in the anime they tried to adapt all rutes at the same time making him look like a multi personality sociopath

>>161895885

And it was great.

>lots of cute girls will fall in love with me if I'm successful and capable
>lots of cute girls will fall in love with me if I'm just nice to them
Which of these do you think appeals to people who fall in love with anime characters?

I don't know but I think we can all agree that Succi is the best.

a beta bitch boi would still have more character than the post stumps they try to pass for MCs

>>161894964
even they realize they could never be as based and it breaks the illusion
what I don't get is how it doesn't break it anyways with how the girls have no type or standards and fall for the first talking brick wall their way
