I agree wholeheartedly. It's even worse when the main girl strength is usually because she's the prettiest in school and just coast through the story just being all dere and cute all while being the most passive of all love interests. It seems mangakas are either stuck at a teenager mindset or are just really good at hooking shonen to their manga.It's painfully obvious who's going to win, but if it were me, I'd go for the tomboy childhood friend. It's kind of odd to me that so many romance manga have a generic girl introduced in the first chapter who's always going to win, and then suddenly the creators introduce a bunch of rival characters, many of whom are better than the main girl, and who deserve to win far more.
I chalk it up to not only a lack of imagination, but earlier characters being rough drafts that creators improve on later through iteration and experimentation. It's like someone making a concept, then fleshing it out and making improved prototypes and then final releases and then improved version of those final releases... but then throwing all that work away and just using the earliest prototype instead.
For once I'd like to see a manga have some balls and let the best girl win, not the first girl.
In reality no matter how popular or beautiful someone is, you'd get tired of someone rather quickly if she has the personality of a wet floor mat. I personally rather mc hook up with someone gutsy enough to actually put thoughtful care and effort in regards to her approach for mc and his surrounding occurences.
