Hope i don’t come off as an Ass

I know what type of genre it is and the question seems nonsensical since the units are MEANT to be desirable but i mean how in the way their character flaws are presented

Because most of the time they feel more like character quirks that something that could debilitate their daily lives , most of the time they never act in ways that would be selfish or screw over someone that doesn’t deserve it even in ways that wouldnt really make dislikeable , it might be a me thing because i love things like Konosuba and the Dorombo gang from Yattaman , the cunning close to that but their are more a bunch broke heroes , that I still love don’t get me wrong

the type of character arc most of the time boils down to dealing with a tragic backstory , a misunderstanding or simply defeating the villain of the patch , they rarely have a falling out with each other or have to deal with the consequences of a selfish choice they made and be better if they do something wrong its because they lacked the context of a situation or were tricked by someone

the mc are another beast entirely , because to be honest most of the time they are the perfect examples of a mary sue , they are well meaning and kind , liked by everyone and solve every problem with their special talents , it feels like the world wouldnt operate without them , it feels artificial

its kinda why I love characters like Arlecchino and Cissia so much , the first feels like a genuine villain and not a edgy mercenary that fights for the same reason as the heroes and Cissia I honestly more of a failgirl than Nicole is and in a way in which to learn to be responsible for herself and others sakes

idk i feel like comparing something like a tv show to a gacha , in former the characters are “allowed” for lack of a better term to act selfish and be a little edgy in ways that are not admirable but probably thats just me

I did hear that later on characters like the doctor in Arknights does end up doing questionable things but how about you correct me and show me some of your favorites example of characters flaws or unheroic actiobs in your gachas not made by villains ?

but also feel free to talk about villains if you want

Im not sure they fully realize the implications of this , almost as if they believe things get better on themselves and people never had to struggle to improve their treatment in society even if tech got more advanced , bit worrying

The first two slides are the rightfully concerns of someone that is still into ai and the rest get weirdly defensive
