Making your characters more marketable to a readers audience

[sanitylimited]

Vampires are also popular, but they are usually not the MC in most stories. They are often just another loli capture target.

vampires are popular because of imortality. after dieing once, you realize a temporary life is nothing but a waste of time

Am I wrong?

No.

I like stories where immortality is a burden. I'd like to read a story of someone hackjacking an immortal body (like oh shit I remember my previous life after I hit my head on some random stone) and having to live the difficult life the person had before.

I don't like impossibly good-looking characters with flashy outfits. Give me beaten armor and realistic weapons. But that's just me.

Oh. Billionaire, werewolf, vampire, doctor, prince.

If you have a FL lead, the ML love interest needs to be one of those

I don’t know about marketability but I tend to just write characters that I wouldn’t mind being around except for the villainous f-ed up ones.
