What are your least favorite type of main characters?

[T.K._Paradox]

This is a fun thread for the MCs people love to hate.
What is your least favorite type of main character and the tropes that go with them.
I shall kick off the thread by saying my least favorite type of MC is the basic Xuanhaun/Wuxia/Xianxia MC. The one who becomes a psychopathic murderhobo rapist that likes to plow his way throughout the world and leave nothing behind except bastards and dead bodies.

I would love to see one of these protagonist actually get their teeth kicked in, with how inhuman and disgusting they are.

For me, I hate those with big mouth but actually can't do shit. You know, the ones that go, "I'm going to protect everyone!" or vowed to do so, only to have their ass kicked a few seconds later.

Rather than hate, I dislike the type that don't even have their own disposition and just going along with the flow.

Reactionary protagonists are always a bit irritating.

Beta incel mc's whose only way of socializing with the opposite sex is to gaslight, manipulate, and trap them into a relationship where only they have 'power', then gaslight them again into thinking they're the only good person in the world that will care about them.

Overly naive and childish mc's who are above the age of consent and lack the proper social skills learned in preeschool. Introverted characters are ok, but it doesn't mean they shouldn't know how to socialize, only that socializing is exhausting to them.

Characters with too many good points and very few flaws, and usually their flaws have nothing to do with the plot... making them pointless imo.

Beta cuck boy MCs. Yuki Rito, and most harem MCs

I hate the stories where MC's whole purpose in life is saving the heroine from some kind of captivity. Like, dude, I'm glad you care, but I don't care.

The same could be said about any character that has a one-dimensional personality.

Goku at one point gives an enemy (Perfect Cell) an item to restore said enemy to full health, and therefore endangers the entire world over how much he wants to test said enemy's strength. Then he turns to his teenage son and was like, "Okay bitch boy, I am not sure if even I can defeat him, but you might have a chance, have fun with the fate of the world in your hands."

Endangering the world to test your kid? Sounds pretty sick honestly.

may he rest in peace

Probably the loud shounen MCs. Never gotten fond of those. So the Astas, etc.

Big reason why I liked Bleach way more than Naruto and One Piece back in the big three days.

 

[HokuouTenrou]

Either the Edgy McEdge types, the Shounen Jump dumb, the Deku, or the horndogs.
