    What's the scariest creature in fantasy worlds?

    Demons? Devils? Dragons or Cthulhu Abominations?

    No, they're not!

    - It's a woman!

    Women are super scary!

    No matter how many gods and devils were defeated in prologue, or how much of a chad protagonist usually is, most jp/kr MCs will tremble when they meet this fantastic creature!

    Godslayer? Dragon Rider? A Hero? Transmigtator or even Reincarnator? It doesn't matter at all!

    As long as woman is near him he will suffer a 50% decrease in INT/WIS, start to stutter, blush and will eventually become speechless.

    To touch a woman? Impossible!!!

    It's much easier to go on a quest and subjugate another dragon than to do something so atrocious!

    Oh, you went through countless life-and-death battles? Took part in war between gods? Reincarnated several times and lived countless years? Well, that's easy.

    But did you try to accidentally touch a woman's hand and not die from a heart attack?

    What kind of Japanese hero are you if you haven't at least experienced this much?

    This kind of logic in some eastern fantasy novels is killing me.

    Let the blind guy see my sympathy
    Let the deaf guy hear my condolences

    Let an apathetic feel your grief

    It's an opponent the author has never defeated. I was about to say beat, but that would lead to wrongness.

    Well, that is the kind of stereotypical MC the most known I guess, which is why characters like this one seem special XD

    Aside from women.

    Zergs scare me. Also ghosts or evil sort of things in fantasy horror. Difficult to fight against those!

    I think most Japanese (protagonists) are more scared of okamas than women, to be honest, but women are more common.
