@SuperOniichan and self inserts are one of my biggest turn offs which is the primary reason I prefer stuff like this that has up till now outright excluded the husband or stuff like Gokushufudou. The world needs more Tatsus!
@MacMeaties It's a vicious circle. On the one hand, readers want heterosexual romance, in which they want to see themselves as MC, and on the other, many otaku and hiki among readers literally hate MC because of envy. This is one of the reasons why CGDCT and ambiguous yuri bait is so popular. Shoujo essentially has the same problems.
@SuperOniichan That's also why, in Hentai, the male characters are often faceless. It solves the problem of jealousy, because the character is just an extension of the reader.
@Kirin-kun the problem is, that the main male character for us is her son, most ppl wouldnt complain if her son (or maybe his friend) would do that shit. Its the same with hentai, people dont care as long as the main character gets the juice
