Re: What fictional character types do you hate?
(Anonymous) 2017-10-28 02:56 am (UTC)(link)That post was a good read, thanks!
I'm unfamiliar with that canon you mention, but just based on your description, I don't think I'd be particularly annoyed by that character. The problem with designated love interests for me is that they don't enrich the story, they're flat non-characters who are just there as a reward for the protagonist or because the author feels obliged to include some kind of romance. It cheapens the narrative, brings the whole story down. If it's a plot point that someone is just a blandly perfect LI, then they're not just a blandly perfect LI. There's potential for them to get an actual storyline and actual character development, which would 1) actually enrich the story and 2) make them something resembling a fully realized character.
