discussion Do you prefer the MC to be male, female, or don't really care?

[bravoswild]

Definitely male, I don't see the appeal of a female lead.

 

[ritorychan]

Female

 

[Anon1990]

For immersion cleary male MC is preferred.

 

[Echo Foxtrot]

Female MC is more interesting because there's fewer female lead VN's and the dynamic of the VN is different.
FMC are less likely to be passengers in their own story like a lot of MMC's are.

Though I do overwhelmingly prefer male MCs for the drop-in fantasy, I do fully agree how frustratingly passive most of them are written. Part of why I like the "maledom" tag is that the MC has a friggin' backbone, and apparently showing some initiative counts as being dominant in most H games.

MALE

 

[Republican Bear]

Male but playing a female is fine if the game is good. I wont play tran of futa nonsense though.

That crap can burn in the fires of hell and chaos.

 

[hmadao]

Either is fine, it's more about the content than the MC for me.

 

[cepaxo]

My choose are male everytime

 

[safrinho]

[nexus55555]

Passive works when most of the women in these stories just throw themselves at the MC.

I don't really care about the gender of the MC, but it does help when the MC has a cock.

Same. As long as the story works, I don't mind what the MC is.

 

[Magician5513]

Most of the time for me male MC... But sometimes when game is really good, female is ok.

 

[feralchild]

Male MC. I self-insert most of the time, even when involuntarily. So when there's a female protagonist, it's jarring because I feel like I'm trying to seduce men.

True, although women throwing themselves at MC for seemingly no reason is itself a sign of poor writing.

 

[dasbooty]

Im okay with both... But a male MC pov is preferred

 

[Halfbreed]

Yeah, I only play when it's a male MC. I just can't get into it otherwise.

 

[Annonx]

Really depends on the flow of the story (if there is one), and the type of content. Rather be a dude banging all the chicks, but games like Karryn's Prison are fun.

This !! If the game is a harem, I prefer to play a male. If it is rather based on corruption, then playing a female is Totally OK!
