- Genki/loud/optimistic characters. I just find it grating + I don't even like overly positive people in real life lmao.
e.g. Impey from Code Realize, Red from Nameless. I also don't like red hair because it often is accompanied by this character archetype.
- Younger brother type characters like Yoosung from Mystic Messenger. Idk it just irritates me, I feel like a babysitter.
- Yanderes when they are trying to harm the MC. I love yanderes, but it has to be done in a specific way for me to enjoy it.
I like a character who is obsessive and fiercely loyal, loves in an unhealthy way, worships the MC, is willing to harm others out of jealousy & possessiveness. But I don't se the point if they are trying to kill or physically harm the MC.
- This isn't a character archetype but I really don't like LIs who don't know how to clean/cook LMAO. It's giving manbaby. Kent's route in Amnesia Later was really putting me off because wdym you don't know how to put a sheet on a mattress. Or cook?? I've had experiences with men like this irl so honestly it just triggers me lol.

I'm not a fan of obsessive LIs that try to control the mc or any kind of harmful behavior towards. Like what do you mean just looking or talking to another man can make LI jealous. This annoys me because it means LI don't trust mc. I also don't really like the young brother type either because they are too immature.

The cute/noisy type? Characters like Heishi from Norn9 or Tokisaka from Olympia Soirée. I can even like them as characters, but when it comes as routes I don't feel much reading their romance with the MCs from their games...

Definitely the overly cheerful, sunshine-y, optimistic type who feels kind of shallow or hollow. Especially the type you often see as the main character in idol series.
Whenever an LI like that appears in an otome game, I almost always end up skipping his route. I just can't get invested in that kind of character, even if he's supposed to be the sweet, lovable one.
