I don't like protags who think they're better than everyone else. I just like the protags who won't let people tell them they can't be as good as them. Bold protags who won't take shit, not from anyone, no matter who they are.

>Still dividing characters into he like/dislike hierarchy
Worst way to read a book desu. See the characters as who they are, extrapolate on the consequences of their personality and actions, and never put off reading book when you don't like the main character. There should be several other reasons for why you read or don't read a book

Narcissistic protags do nothing for me too. Mainly because everyone in real life already has their heads far up their own asses, only in varying degree. It's like reading a book about opening a water bottle, it's fucking predictable and boring.
