    Ideal MC would be someone like Mu Chen from TGR.

    Why not Lin Feng instead? He talks a lot of shit first and it usually takes 2 chapters for that when all he's gonna do in the end is stab the person once then its all over. LOL

    I was thinking more Sherlock from Sherlock. I never finished Dexter, so I will withhold from saying one way or the other.

    It really depends, if a character is written well even if they aren't your cup of tea it can make you like them, or hate them if that's the authors aim.

    If you're gonna be the MC and you're gonna be a pervert, I'm sure you'll be murdered early. haha

    I'd like an MC wth an emotional scar or one that is overconfident but everything always backfires. I hate MCs that are wimps but everything always backfires except getting females. I always feel frustrated by those MCs and feel they just exist for watching a female orgy with touching anything. For an emotional scarred one, they usually have the best character development and their trauma leads them to be distrustful to people.

    my favorite kind of mc is the ruthless kill everything moving type but schemes himself out of consequences. And they also have to be arrogant

    Actually Ji Ning is also a good MC for me especially his attitude towards others. Its just that all he does is train, kill, kill, kill then train again and repeats it all over. Don't get me wrong, I like DE and all its just that I pity him since that's all that he does.

    I point out he doesn't speak bullshit and you give me Lin Feng.
    Meng Hao is more unique,i can see him struggling on his path of cultivation,also he is an alchemist.
    Lin Feng,as much as i like him he is more like level up that,enlightenment,level up,kill that,get the girl.Yea seen that before,but he does it better than average..

    Why would you write a 'perfect' MC. Dealing with a character's flaws and the resulting issues that surround it is one of the best ways to drive a story.
