🔥 Character archetypes you don't like?
🔥 LET’S SPICE THINGS UP. // accepting.
oh man this is very interesting actually, because this goes into my field of study !
when you say archetypes, my mind goes to the 12 literary archetypes. i know you probably didn’t ask that having that in mind however, but when we look at the list of archetypes, each have their own weaknesses and strenghts listed carefully.
when writing a character, knowing their strenghts and weaknesses is extremely vital !! we all know that we hate overpowered characters here, but having a character that has no strenghts whatsoever ( physical and // or moral, hell, even without a goal ) is also a huge faux-pas, and it ruins a character !!
so i guess my answer is this: i don’t like characters who are insanely overpowered but with no weaknesses, or characters that have no strenghts whatsoever and no goals ( even when they are later going through a development arc ). characters that recieve no character development, no consequences for their actions ... characters that simply don’t learn when going through life.
