Is there a name for this type of MC archetype and why it won't die. IRL they are sometimes called Captain Save-a-hoe. But the manga version is worse.another manga with a virgin mc trying to fix a fmc with high body count + 100% will refuse to sleep with her until they get married or till the end of the story...
Such a noble thing lmao
Niiiiiiiiiiice, very much appreciated!things I'd like to see:
don'ts:
- more than one friend
- female friend(s) that are not love interests
- an actual hobby that isn't playing videogames/manga/anime
- either mc or main girl or both have had past relationships; doesn't have to be sex or anything
- "friends to lovers" trope but they don't make it painfully obvious
- could also do a reversal of the "mc is dense" idea and make the girl dense instead, but this would have to be VERY subtle
- dates being actually normal and not formulaic; they always go to the same places every time. When was the last time you saw a date at a sports game? Or at a party with their friends?
- I can see people saying, "but that's not very romantic" but does it have to be? If they truly enjoy each other's company they'll have fun anywhere
- also, dates don't always have to be "out". It could just be them in a house, talking. Without some sort of plot device like "study group" or an illness. They could just be friends and do friend things
- mc being dense
- over-the-top of common character tropes; tsundere, kuudere, etc. Like the opposite of 100 Kanojo characters
- Acting all awkward when they're in each other's houses. I could understand being uncomfortable (dates too) but it's always just so heavily enunciated in manga
another case of ‘if a guy did this, it would be a different story’… her continuously asking him to have sex with her is a no-go, even in mangas and fake scenarios.
Bootleg metamorphWhat in the Metamorphosis is this!? 🤣🤣
I wonder how many Americans under 50 will get that reference.One of the worst tropes that have been becoming more popular lately: the inexperienced nerdy guy who decides to make the great choice of dating a woman with a body count higher than Pol Pot's.
Yea I didn't expect this incel cesspool of a comments section jeezManga's still bad but bruh... the Tate incels in the comments make my heart sink
But she is a bad guy. Not because she's slept with a lot of people or needs rescuing, but because she kept badgering MC about sex and following him into gendered toilets and changing rooms. That's sexual harassment.As far as I can see most readers here aren’t blaming her or calling her a bad guy. We’re just sick of this trope in general, of a lonely girl that has slept with a lot of men and “needs rescuing”
