Would you prefer a well-written harem MC or a poorly written battle shonen MC?

there are enough poorly written battle shonen MCs and not enough well written harem MCs...so i'll take a well written harem MC that's not as dense as a freakin neutron star, and preferably chooses the HAREM path instead of picking 1 FL and having a bunch of disappointed pseudo-harem members left over

Well-written harem MCs, pretty sure SNAFU is an example of this. I should watch it, shouldn’t I?

I’ve also had enough of poorly written battle shounen MCs, good ol Gabimaru from Jigokuraku is an example of that.

Well-written harem MCs will make the series fun to watch, so definitely I will choose that.

Obviously an well written character

It's not like an average battle shounen mc is any better than an average harem mc.

Same and agreed as it depends on your enjoyment level.

When you say well written harem Mc that is pretty vague. One person might think of some pretty boy while another Rance. Lol

I would personally aim for the latter for one, shows like Hunter x Hunter and JoJo manage to create those kinds of characters well.

Not enough to go off of just based on the MC and main genre, but I fear the battle shounen could span hundreds of episodes, so I'll plan it safe with the harem protagonist.

Yee I really enjoyed Oregairu. The first season's animation is a bit jarring when you compare it to the later seasons but the show still holds up. If you like romance comedy then you will probably enjoy it.

I would always pick a well-written mc and characters in general over ones that are not, the genre doesn't matter much.

I'll make things even easier: poorly written harem MC > poorly written battle shounen MC.

Harem anime are carried by the girls and poorly written harem MCs are in most cases just bland. Poorly written battle shounen MCs are actively obnoxious and can singlehandedly ruin the whole anime.
