That's good feedback

Lol maybe you'd like my first book then Groovy I tried to make the main character as kind and good natured as possible he is far from perfect though, He's naive, immature and has low self esteem. So from experience even with good traits there can be many flaws. Other good qualities would be bravery, tenacity, empathy and forgiveness

Lol my upcoming book however is way different I made the main character the absolute polar opposite in both bad and good quallities. I'm guessing you would hate this one.

I think this a very interesting topic as an author myself, in fiction there are many variable characters and there are some who are written perfect and some who who are not.

I prefer flawed main characters myself and I think many others do for various reasons. Even though fiction in itself is not real and the purpose is for entertainment a character should still feel believable in some aspect even if they seem to be a very accomplished individual and the best way to show this is through some flaws.

As for like-ability I think it varies depending on the reader, I've read many good stories where I was not particularly fond of the main character but the plot was interesting enough to follow. These stories with bland main characters tend to have other characters who were more likable and I think that is also another factor in stories where other characters can compliment the main in positive ways.

Perhaps the main character is a bit too uptight but he/she has an interesting companion who is very jovial and upbeat. I guess it depends on author preference, the readers and the way the story is written.
