What makes you lose interest in an LI instantly?

[star light]

Yandere characters are scary.
I can't understand them.

When LI is portrayed as gentle, caring and respectful towards MC in the beginning but later shifts into the "but don't forget I'm a man! All men are wolves and have certain urges". Feels like betrayal, just why...

 

[ayak4]

if he's arrogant, treating women as beneath him, and playboys. they're the worst!!

 

[Gaiasheart]

Womanizers... ew, it just gives me the ick. Total prick behaviour. (not asmo from OB tho, i swear i can fix him lol /j)

Probably the playboy type. I think the way they act, thinking everyone will fall for them, is too cringy for me. I also don't like the overprotective type.

I really like red flags and dark romance in otome games; In fact, characters of that style have even become my favorites. However, I have limits beyond which I no longer try to justify or understand them, and I simply think they're idiots:

-They start denigrating the protagonist.
- Infidelity. I will never tolerate infidelity in a bad ending. I accept that they might have a partner beforehand or that their personality makes them flirtatious, but infidelity? Never. This would be the only option I would never forgive under any circumstances.
-They use me for some personal gain.
-They decide to run away when push comes to shove.
- Their route becomes boring and undeveloped, which increases some of the previous limits.
There are many things I can justify, tolerate, forgive, understand, and understand, but at the same time, I have my limits.

Insta-love with completely zero build-up, or when an LI looks down on the MC and treats her like she's totally incompetent without ever showing genuine respect or remorse. I love a good slow burn where feelings actually develop naturally through shared struggles. If a guy is just head-over-heels for no reason from chapter one, or if he spends the whole route acting condescending while the MC just takes it, my interest drops straight to zero.

 

[Ophi]

overly childlike behavior is a major put off for me, that and if the LI has no independence and relies heavily on the mc

 

[Ninako Ayase]

Bad dialogue and if the Li is too flirty towards other woman.

 

[MikuMikuni]

If the LI wears a fedora (this is just out of pettiness lol)

On a more serious note, if the LI's route becomes boring. I can't really say what type of route would qualify as boring but mostly it would be the truth/final route (with some exceptions)
