what's your least favourite type of LI?

[heishoumao]

You know LI types - the brother LI, the tsundere LI, the happy-go-lucky LI, the quiet and stoic one...
But which is your least favourite?

Personally, I'm not into the sporty, happy-go-lucky trope at all. Suzu from Jack Jeanne was something of an exception to this, mostly because I liked how his route was about being disabled (at least sort of).

There's a second type i'm not into - The "daddy dom alpha" type has always really put me off, but they're a little less common these days, I think.

Feel free to cite a specific character as example of a trope, I don't mind.

Probably the playboy or "popular with girls" LI who doesnt know shit about setting boundaries (Ikki from Amnesia ur on thin ice)

I dont really like Yanderes. I think I am ok with red flags, but when it comes to possesive Characters... not so much of a fan of them. Especially if they are manipulative. Sorry Yandere lovers

I don't mind a yandere, but I think they're really, really easy to do wrong - and sometimes they can end up sort of cringey if you do it wrong . . .

The one that sees somebody else in you.
Even if it's MC herself in her past life.

Childhood friends or Lls who have been in love with the Mc since before the story began for very shallow reasons, its just so boring and having the Ll be in love with the mc from the start makes the development of the relationship a lot less interesting. I ESPECIALLY hate it when the Ll and Mc have an age gap and the Ll is implied to have had liked the Mc even when she was a child its a massive yikes lol.

The playboy type or the brother LI.
Not to yuck anyone's yum because I totally get why people like them, but they're just not my cup of tea. The playboy route usually doesn't do much for me, and the brother trope is just something I personally can't get into.

 

[osanajimimi]

Jealous-type LIs. I mean, feeling jealous is normal, but the excessive type that crosses the line into being a yandere or becoming harmful. Sometimes they can be done well, but most of the time they're shallow.

I don't dislike Yanderes, but I don't like emotionally unstable characters.

 

[haiane]

A vain womanizer type, who is trying to fill his emptiness by relationships with many women. Large age gaps are also a no-no unless it's a supernatural being.

 

[ninnikuryona]

a li who flirts with other lis/other men in general and (problematic opinion incoming) bisexual lis. sorry but id rather miss out on "peak" while being pushed into sidelines in the game than deal with this bullshit. needless to say i dont like broccoli works very much LOL

other than that i agree with enren, i dont like lis who see the heroine as someone else. i know it can make for some delicious drama, but on the other hand it gets real infuriating sometimes. and very difficult to pull off successfully unless the route is like 6 hours long i feel like, because you need to somehow shove in trauma, explanation of trauma, resolvement of trauma, AND a compelling romance in the same storyline. i dunno

Kuudere. I like a few but a lot of them are just boring to me.
