Here are the personality types I don't like：
1. Characters who force their own ideas or expectations onto other people,
then act like they're doing it "for their own good." Basically, emotional manipulation disguised as caring.
2. Characters who are way too selfish and childish,
and don't care at all about how much they're putting other people in a difficult or uncomfortable position.
3. Narcissistic / self-absorbed characters who genuinely seem to think everyone is going to like them or worship them. Like... why would I?
4. Characters who become cynical and bitter because of past trauma.
So far, I can still understand where they're coming from.
But if they start taking all that anger and frustration out on people who had absolutely nothing to do with their trauma, that's a major red flag for me.
5. Characters who are overly enthusiastic, with their emotional energy permanently stuck at 100%.
That kind of energy is just way too much for me.
It makes me feel mentally overwhelmed, annoyed, and exhausted.

Probably the extremely stoic type. I can enjoy quiet or reserved characters, but if they're too emotionally distant for most of the game, I tend to lose interest. I need to see a bit more of their personality and emotions!

I don't know what you call them but the Lucifers, Jumins etc. those type of characters drive me up a wall. The overly prideful types. Can't say it's the daddy trope because I don't mind that trope. It's something about the way they belittle the heroine and in some cases can't take no for an answer that gets under my skin in seconds.

i don't like yanderes or playboys! even age gaps where he is much older than you... it makes me uncomfortable. I prefer fluffy stories, so LIs that are tsundere, childhood friends, even just someone caring and kind, are really cute! i really dislike when I see the typical possessive mafia guy.

Cough cough
I'll say right away that if the route is written well, I'll still enjoy reading it. But yeah, there's probably no chance the character will become one of my favorites.
Yanderes. I've already said this in other threads, but I really do hate them in like 80% of cases.
Childhood friends. The only exception I can think of is probably Gekkamaru from Nightshade, whose route I actually really liked. But generally, I'm not a fan of childhood friends who are already in love with the heroine. They tend to feel kind of pathetic to me, especially when you think about how they're still in love with her in all the other routes too, they just never had the courage to confess.
Boring adult men. Tooya Masamune (Norn9), Serigano Manatsu (Ayakashi Gohan), Kuroba (Olympia Soirée). I usually just feel like there's no spark in their routes. They're too calm for me, I guess. I don't even know what the right term for this type of character is, but yeah.
PS: Genki characters and playboy/flirty types could probably also go on this list, but with them it's really 50/50. Sometimes they actually end up being some of my favorite characters.
