Do you think an LI needs to be a good person to be lovable?

I think every LI will be lovable to his respective audience!!

Like, a lot of people trash on the Diabolik Lovers guys but they're my emotional support sadistic vampires <3 One of the found families of all time /j. My favorite out of them is Kanato, I find him lovable and very very fascinating!!

I also really like a very Controversial side of Dante from Piofiore (shown in a different LI's bad ending), because he just... works for me. I'm part of his target audience so I find him lovable!

I like yandere characters and a good dark romance story, so I think morally grey to villain type LI can be lovable. They definitely aren't for everyone, but I am someone who really likes playing through these types of routes in games.

Definitely not! An LI can range from humanly flawed to a sadistic serial killer and i could still love them. Although I do think that there is a line for the things I can take (grooming, cheating, physical torture towards FL).

But for me, morally grey characters still have to be entertaining and show some semblance of genuine love towards FL, they cant just be dicks for the sake of being dicks. If the ML treats FL like straight trash for no good reason then im out, thats not interesting at all. But lets just say I dont mind being chained up as long as im being whispered sweet nothings lmaoo

Of course not! There are people that loves a character for their flaws and complexity and if you take away those flaws the character would lose their depth.. Why do we like a certain character even tho they're trash? Simply because they're just a character and not a real person. Getting to know their story and the reasons why they became a villain is exactly what interests me to know them and if that happens it's only a matter of time before I love them (depending on how their story is executed tho).

No. I'd love to see them having different characters. That's what makes them interesting. Because you know, sometimes there are also people who aren't really into 'good guy' lmao
 
Honestly? No, not really. Some of my favorite LIs are walking red flags and I eat it up every time. What makes them lovable to me isn't whether they're a good person—it's whether they're interesting. Like, a guy can be possessive, manipulative, even a straight-up villain, and if the writing makes me feel something, I'm hooked.
 
Justice heroes or kind-hearted good guys are common and likable.

I don't like overly perfect types. I can accept some flaws or quirks; yandere or tsundere types are also acceptable.

(For example, introverted, not good at socializing, needs things neatly arranged, or loves sweets, has a sharp tongue and likes to satirize others, is an anime otaku, a tech otaku, etc.)

Villain types are unconventional and also good. Anti-hero concept? Having their own unique aesthetics or beliefs, adhering to principles, and being different from others.

Except for torture, dismemberment, murder, corpse disposal, and using sharp weapons to hurt people—that's too perverse and disgusting.
 
I like all types of LI. They can be villains or great male protagonists. Mainly to fit the game plot. Just suit my taste~I'm not picky about food!
 
For me as long as they love MC and are loyal and treat her right then i don't really mind what their character is lol, i'm actually a fan of dark romance as long as there is no SA so LI being morally grey is actually a positive for me
 
Echoing what other people have said. They don't have to be morally pure for me to like them, they just have to be entertaining. I read stories and play games for the fun of it, and it absolutely does not reflect my taste in real life.

Most of the characters I like in games would be terrible in real life, even the "nice" ones. I like playing games with drama and good writing. I find the slice of life genre more boring for that reason. Also, it's a lot easier to overlook glaring flaws in fiction haha.
 
As the no. 1 yandere and big brother routes lover, I actually prefer my LIs a bit unhinged and morally gray lol (I enjoy a fair share of morally reprehensible LIs too! I've played too many Rejet games to deny it...)

A LI can be lovable, as long as he's well written and interesting. I especially enjoy the tragic characters, preferably when it reflects on his poor, problematic choices!

Evil, irredeemable LIs are up my alley as well, although less on the "lovable" and more like a car crash you can't look away from ;b

(I like many heroic, good LIs as well, but I can't deny my love for the messy ones! Haha)
 
I do not think that they need to be a good person, however, they do have to be likeable.

It happens a lot in media with villains, they may be horrible and unforgiving, but if the character has charisma, it will end up with fans.
