Do you prefer a "no personality" MC or a "set personality" one?

I like main characters with distinct personalities, but I'm also very picky about their personalities. If a main character has a personality I don't like, I might give the entire game a very low rating.

Since it's a self-projection type, I'd prefer it if the character didn't have a personality.

Personally, I have a hard time inserting myself into the story, so I prefer a protagonist with a more distinct personality.
Also, 'no personality' MCs get boring for me pretty quickly.

I like MCs who have a clear personality, but only if I can relate to their thoughts and values.

If the protagonist has opinions or reactions I can't empathize with, it completely breaks my immersion. A well-written personality is great, but it has to feel natural for me to stay invested.

Including some of me personality into a set personality so sometimes I can think she as me, and from reader/player pov too~

I like MCs whose personalities I can find connections. It's not that I never self-insert, but having a protagonist whose personality fits the storyline really shapes gaming experience.

I can see the appeal in both, really.
