I personally like Black hair and Red eyes on my male leads.
But use those colors on most of my male leads and I know there's some hate for it. I want to use it because I like it. But what if my readers don't?

Should I change it? Or should I let it be?

It’s has become a cliche by now, but people still read it. So why not?

I also have a character with black hair and red eyes, but who cares.

Are you serious? Asking this question is like mocking almost all of the anime’s male leads in the history. You know, black hair, black, round eyes, average features. You get the idea.

I thought that trend started with Sauce-kay and died with Shadow the Hedgehog.

Guess there will always be younger people who missed the Edgy the Hedgy train wreck.

:blob_hmm_two: I do get the idea. I was just worried about people's reaction to it

There are people who like it—like me and many others—and there are people who don’t like it. No matter what you do, you can’t please everyone, and it’s not your fault. Just do what you want to do; people with the same taste as yours will naturally follow.

shiiiiid my MC is literally black haired with red eyes as the only contrast to his colour scheme.

to seal the edgy deal he's a literal wolf; the edgiest canine any MC could adopt as their identity.

let it be. you'll be fine.

My male MC has black hair and red eyes. Ishigami-style emo hair too.

For your character, just let it be, I like it. It's common because it works.

I made my male lead short, plain and like the average skinny asian and it doesn't seem to deter readers, but I guess it depends on the story. I think your male lead character is fine. Just make him interesting.
