[gondremark]

It seems there're a lot of people out there who only like characters when they see themselves favourably reflected in them, and this has never made sense to me. Fictional characters aren't supposed mirrors or figures of the reader or author, they're supposed to be people, and supposed to be liked or disliked on their own (and their authors') merits.

I sometimes like and sometimes dislike characters who remind me of myself; identifying with them has nothing to do with it.
I like characters based on how they're written (and acted, if that's applicable). I like characters who're exceedingly and deliciously villainous, and who're wonderful role models, and who are interesting people. And if the work allows me to see a character's thought process, I'll like that character even more.
If a character reminds me of myself in a favourable way, that's great, but I don't automatically like the character more (though I might like the author more, in this case). If he reminds me of myself in a negative way, I squirm a little, but it doesn't make me like the character any less.
