#WritingWonders Is it important for MCs to be likeable?
Honestly? ...No. I think it's more important they're believable & have little complexities. Do they have struggles? Passions? Irrational quirks? Do those get in the way of people perceiving them as likeable?
I hope there isn't too much eye-rolling on this next part, but tv shows have writers too...
Let me leave you with some question for those who watched the series:
Was Bojack Horseman likeable?
Was it a good story?
Subjective I know.
