    are tsundere characters okay if they're well-written characters or are they a major turnoff to the point you'd drop the novel down from a 4 to a 3 and if so what type of tsundere are you fine with,
    for example, stern old man tsundere or magical talking animal tsundere ... etc

    Well written with character development. Types of tsunderes depend on the type of novel.

    The difference between a good and bad tsundere character is very simple.

    If the author claims its a tsundere it's bad.
    If the readers claim its a tsundere it's good.

    most of the time they're just a pain in the ass since the romance goes nowhere, maybe if there was some character developement but most of the time they stay bland with their only features being acting like a bitch around the mc. my final vote is a sakura and half a jar-jar

    Well written tsunderes are amazing, everything for that one blush is worth it, however, those are rare. Then there are those who just mistaken tsunderes as full on sadists.

    The typical case of show it, don't tell us. Much like the supposed 'genius' characters in novels, where they keep repeating their genius over and over but then act retarded. Whereas a story like Sherlock Holmes would make you feel awe at certain settings and reasoning that the author created.

    Those so called tsundere that plain does physical abuse. I don't know how they are appealing when all they do is punch and kick their love interest. Never found it funny to see that trope especially when the receiving one doesn't even deserve that kind of treatment.

    What makes a good tsundere is not herself but the male protagonist. If you have an MC who can actually properly deal with them, tsundere heroines can be quite enjoyable to read.

    Look at Machina from Tsuki Tsuki for example, she's a truly enjoyable tsundere to read about. Part of it is because she's a well written character, but the MC knowing how to handle her takes most of the credit.

    Tsundere characters are not annoying.

    Poorly written tsundere characters are annoying as FK.

    Side note, my phone's spell check recognize tsundere.

    I detest the tsundere characters that will inflict physical violence on the protagonist- allways wish the MC would slap them back!

    I-it's not like I like tsundere characters, or anything! :blobmelt:

    ... They're fine as long as "tsundere" isn't the only personality trait.

    Good written characters are always okay, you can use any trope you feel like, as long as you do it well, it will be good.
