Anoying/hateable character in story

[Iamnotabot]

Like the title said, give me some character that you hate or think is anoying in books you read. Any story in the hub or outside of it.

 

[SRB]

Any perverted/way too horny/creepy characters. You know, the type that thinks that peeping in the changing room is funny. The author needs to be very good if they want this type of character to work.

I dislike characters that get paralyzed by indecision.

 

[Kureous]

I hate spineless, bumbling, virgin-lord harem mcs like this mf:

Nothing comes to mind, but I do have a cartoon that pissed the heck out of me. It's in Disney channel and is about baby-delivering birds. I know it's a children's show, but damn...the writers are just plain incompetent for making stupid points of conflicts in the characters, it made me loathe a children's cartoon.

 

[Dieter]

Alot of YA female protagonist. I can't sympathize with their teenage angst, or their 'I can fix him' attitude whenever they find that 'one guy with abs and issues' cus he's hot and nice to them.

 

[RepresentingWrath]

Vast majority of Korean MCs.

 

[RepresentingDesire]

Common male Japanese isekai protagonist.

 

[CarburetorThompson]

The ‘Slavery is wrong, but I mean it’s a different culture, when in Rome, so I guess it should be fine to buy a slave or two.’ Isekai protag

Dang that fanboy in Elder Scrolls Oblivion was a special kind of annoying

 

[NotaNuffian]

Selfish, self entitled and self righteous cunts, especially ones who are long due for a reckoning.

 

[HuaiChi]

It always been the MC who would ignore the obvious signs and trust someone who have already betrayed them a couple of times. Although the influx of face slapping chinese novel had made them rare, but they still appears.

Rachel from ToG.

 

[CrimsonGenius]

Crybaby protagonist

It is funny, when you are a teen or preteen (gender does not matter) and the one peeking. Rarely does the peeked on agree with it being funny.

Crybaby protagonist

Indeed after a certain point it becomes tedious. Where the point is depends on how often and why the water works keep happening.

Tsunderes that are all Tsun all the time and the Author never dares to let them be deres. That is not a Tsundere that is just an <insert favorite generic insult>.

Characters who are not allowed to think for themselves.

Slavery isn't the only example, but I feel like a lot of these the only way to make it readable is to go full tilt with it. Make it a villain who doesn't think twice about having slaves.

Another example that I feel this way about is reverse harem female protagonists who sl*t shame saying it's wrong to have more than one love interest but then ends up having six husbands like in Asian beastworld novels. It inspired me to write my own version without all of the s*xual hangups.

The mc of rent a gf (along with his goofy harem) and the one for Tokyo revengers, can't remember the names and don't care to. If most mcs have leather plot armour then they have limited edition diamond armour.

Also most mcs that choose to be attached to a promise that was made when they were like kids. I found this out more recently. (Kaijuu no 8, Quint Quintuplets).

I hate these more for the fact that they get others who will legit go so far for them but they still choose to be attached to a promise that most people would forget in a short period of time. I'll still watch the property though because I enjoy some parts of the story.

I have more but those are all I got off the top of my head.

[Roseofblades]

Aloof and clueless MC's who STAY aloof and clueless in every way to the detriment of plot development. Especially in romance stories. I've stopped a few things I was enjoying simply because no matter how much the plot progresses around them, they are completely static and unchanging in the slightest, like... the MC still refuses to believe that anyone could possibly be in love with her despite the entire fucking cast being in love with her and even after multiple arcs she still hasn't progressed past "no... they're all just my really good friends."
