Which otoge heroine do you hate the most? I am sure you all have at least one, and is there a reason for your antagonism towards the character? Is she better in some routes and much worse in others? Feel free to contend if you disagree with anyone.



I shall start with my dislike towards Forbidden Love's MC. I rant about her constantly in the FL thread. XD When I first read the prologue at the very start of FL, I actually thought that she was going to be a tolerably stronger, more stoic female lead. I was wrong. She is witless and generically idiotic, and she definitely does not deserve most of the  guys who are attracted to her. She is like a vortex of tears and hormones, assuming the worst before attempting to listen to explanations. Age did not help her, either.

Hmm, ignoring all the bland/generic protagonists from the Voltage, Solmare and Starry Sky games, probably the heroine of Tsundere S Otome. Though I think this is more because it's the first R18 otome game I played and I didn't actually knew that they are generally godawful and contain noncon. Hm, yes, now that I think about it, it's really because the circumstances were bad. But, nonetheless, forgiving a guy after he had your way with you without your consent makes me dislike you.

It would have to be the MC in Forbidden Love for me since she kept meeting up with Johannes despite how awful he was to her in Mike's story.  Annnd how she goes along with things that will lead to drama.  Just, ugh.

Lol I think I actually stopped playing Forbidden Love because of the MC...It's such a small work after all

I can't pick an MC specifically (besides probably Forbidden Love, for reasons everyone already understand). But I will say what traits I'm tired of seeing in a lot of otome game MCs:

- low self-esteem
- lack of confidence
- the backbone of a limp noodle
- letting guys push them around (even if it's the guy who's route you're playing)

So far, Forbidden Love MC fits all those criteria and more. The MC in Henri's route in Office Lover definitely showed those signs too...as well as some routes in Contract Marriage. I get that modesty is valued in Japan, but what many of these MC's are doing is anything but. And for a game geared towards girls/women, it gets really tiring to see these trends constantly.

But that's just me.

I totally agree with that, I hate all Main Female Leads, they refuse to stand up and keeps taking crap from male characters.
Sends a bad message that you have to be this ditzy to get a significant other in life. >;c

I wouldn't go as far as to say I hate all MCs, some are actually good the way they are, but others really bother me...
I didn't pay attention to Forbidden Love for a very long time, so I can't say anything about that at the moment, but I'm pretty sure I had the same opinion as everyone else when I was playing.
Other than that:
I absolutely hate the MC in CD and Starstruck Love, not that I really know the second one since I just started playing, but I really have a strong hatred for the MC as soon as she is/wants to be a celebrity. A mix of sweet girl and idol just doesn't work, honestly, I won't accept that the MC is so extremely talented that everyone loves her. Fine, make the guy a celebrity (even when I prefer not to see another singer or band member), but both... It's just too much.

Some of you might not know it but sometimes on various occasions I hated the protagonist in the PC game Dandelion....Especially in the two cats routes must notably the black ones bad ending.
Only a few people can be that dense. Though really I only hated her in a few bits and not the overall everything.
Though it does have character evolvement in her......But most notably in those I mentioned I just sort of dragged my head along on the ground.

But then again I can always have a small rant on their other game (Nameless) MC on going down the Bad routes...We'll since it's a bad ending it doesn't or can't really happen as it's an instant Game Over. But still it's like the MC actual personality changes to a total different persona. So since when has the MC had yandere thoughts that appears on two guys bad endings? She does a total 180 over it, as before that she is usually a smiley happy person.....Meh

But hey I commented the MC's on both the types of bad endings and we'll I like her on the good routes. Lol so in a way I dislike the really random MC that appears, half the time I think she swaps to her it twin. But still some of the bad endings are so weird I actually don't know what on earth happened..Haha
