Do you prefer a strong or a "weak" MC?

[Ant_076]

I don't really care whether the MC is strong or needs protection. To be more precise, I tend to prefer MCs who are strong-willed—or rather, those with a resilient personality who can adapt to any situation. I'd prefer that kind of MC, even if they're physically weak. Some are just that—very weak but overly nice, lacking any real ability. The ones who offer moral support are fine, because some people just need emotional support from others, rather than practical help. What I don't like are the types who spout really smooth-sounding platitudes—it's as if they have absolutely no empathy for others' suffering and offer no real positive energy. It's more like they're spouting "righteous" and "correct" lines that are completely out of touch with reality. I really don't like people who constantly force their own ideas of what's "right" onto others.

In my opinion that's where the writing matters the most and can make a character feel real and relatable or completely make me hate it.
