I personally think there are more valuable traits in a human than their ability to beat up another human. These types of protagonists usually accentuate different aspects of human values that I generally like.

For instance, Risou No Himo Seikatsu's protagonist doesn't want to dominate his wife, but live a comfortable life. He lets the women in his life have autonomy and freedom, while being a great conversational partner so he's really popular.
Nejimaki Kagyu's harem protagonist is a young and hopeful teacher that helps his violent students come through their problems emotionally, and being there for them when they're at rock bottom.
Maou Gakuen No Hangyakusha's protagonist, doesn't have any expectations or desires for the girls in his harem. He lets them help him without being threatened by them, and lives up to their expectations. They make him a better person, and he brings them happiness.
Parallel Paradise's protagonist doesn't let his unique ability dictate his actions, and brings hope to the girls he meets as he fights against a harsh fate of an early death before adulthood.
Mato Seihei's Slave's protagonist has the heart to actually soften the grim reality of the Mato soldiers he works with.

I will fight back on the term wimpy though. They aren't wimpy. Just not hyper dominant.

Harem protagonists who are the strongest there are generally quite awful. Solving problems through violence and the girls are just cute setpieces on the side so the story has some girls the artist can draw. (You know like Shikkaku Mon, My Girlfriend is a Zombie, and stuff like that.) Though that's not always the case. Death March has a strongest protagonist with a lot of heart, though people seem to just hate people with basic human decency in these manga.

For the better or worse?

@TitanAnteus
The scale is on better side though!!
But not much for mato seihei slave.

Yeah, that one has on overt femdom tone. I like aggressive girls so that's my jam, but if you're not into it, it makes sense to not enjoy it as much.
Like if sex happened in mato seihei it'd definitely be cowgirl position.

@TitanAnteus
No it's not like I'm not into aggressive girl.
It's just the way the author mostly characterise, the mc and make it into simp, that thing sometimes makes me mad.
Eg:- chainsaw man, mato seihei.... etc. Their are other mangas also which shows simp mc like......
Kanojo okarashimasu, that manga, well it was shit, mc was a spineless bitch, who just wanted to loose his virginity................

Everyone has their likes & dislikes.
Yeah!! Girls in mato........ The only posn. they would love is cowgirl, they don't want to get dominated.

IDK bout you guys but I think you guys are a "M". also I don't dislike wimpy characters if they get a good character development like mushoku tensei, tsuki ga michibiku,
Yondome, etc.

Pretty sure I'm normal. I'm not into that pegging stuff, or pee drinking, or wax play. Like... most of the stuff tied to being an "M" aren't my jam. Definitely not an "S" either. Can't stand choking, don't think anal's hot, hate gangbangs and generally dislike girls in tears hoping the aggressor would stop.

I agree with you that I like good character development. I don't think we agree on what character development is though. For me, character development doesn't mean becoming jaded, or getting stronger and solving all your problems with brute force.
