Everything you said was spot on! There are some clichés I like if there well written. Like the bad boy with the heart of gold, if they're done right they can make an amazing LI, like Michael, Zig, Flynn and Jake for example. I hate the to good to be true scenarios. Seriously, can a single person say they relate to the RoE or TRR MC? I don't like it when everyone falls in love with the MC right after meeting them, very unrealistic. That's one reason why I love slow burn relationships, like Sonia, Marc Antony and Ethan, especially Ethan, I understand if some people don't like him, but he's gonna be the most fleshed out LI in OH. I'm an anxious person, I always make sure I'm early to an event, so you pointing out that every MC is late really opened my eyes, because you're so right! How irresponsible are they!? And you're so right about the Mary/Marty Sue thing, every single MC is perfect and everyone loves them and they can do no wrong! And they're also all very outgoing. It's ok if some of them are, because a lot of people are sociable, but why does every single one have to be? If PB is so diverse, why don't they give us a MC with a whole new personality? I don't relate to all of them because they're all so extroverted and talkative. Not to mention they're all goodie two shoes. Let me play as a shy person with extreme anxiety issues, and cares more about school/work than pleasing friends. Or someone who's a complete socially awkward nerd who's into gaming, hacking and computer science or something. Or someone with anger issues who doesn't like to be around other people because they don't want to be seen that way. Or let us play as the sarcastic bad boy/girl with a heart of gold. Or a psychotic villainous killer! One of my favorite MC's is the HSS MC, they are a genuinely good and funny person and they never pissed me off with their stupidity or boringness, but despite my love, I don't relate to them.

I like D&D, but it's very, very historically incorrect, it kind of frustrates me. And I never really paid attention to MC's and LI's family life, because I myself don't really care for family life or scenes do to personal reasons. So it was never a big deal for me, but I know a lot of people are, so I hope everyone has at least one family in this game that they can relate to, I don't lol! And as for the all of the gay/bisexual characters. I never really took it as a big deal because I actually know more gay/bisexual people than I do straight. But that's just my friend circle you know? And I'm pansexual, so I'm open to anybody and everybody, I just don't care! So I love all of the options I have. But it's very unrealistic that almost EVERYBODY in Choices is in the LGBTQ committee, so I hope they do make a story where some LI's are only available to certain genders. That way we all have to play twice lol. Thanks for reading my long comment
