In each romance novel we read, why are the main two attractions perfect?, Should they be?, could we be more realistic?
For instance weight, hight, insecurities, fears, features.
Let's see your opinion!
My opinion is,I like flaws in a novel, I like how realistic it makes it seem, I am a person with freckles and its nice be able read novels with character/people with the same flaws, also adding a little description of the characters/peoples flaws can allow your reader to imagine/picture what the characters look like.
What's your opinions?
Flaws?

Spacekitty26 I'd incorporate that into my novel
Although, my characters aren't flawless, my FL is insecure about her hair color
Bloom759 flaws and insecurities can make the novel realistic and interesting, if we think about it, its allowing reader with the exact same feeling to feel like there not the only ones.

Spacekitty26 it depends on the genre I think. for example, if it's fantasy, of course, I would make my ML and FL with no flaws, but if the story is not fantasy then I would read those kinds of stories, but sometimes it makes the readers hate the ML or FL because of those flaws sometimes. I've read enough manga and manhwa and there are always some people dropping them because of those flaws because the authors loved to use the "misunderstanding" plot and stretching the story unnecessarily making it boring before even reach half of the story.
that's just my opinion though.
Iqfauli I respect your opinion, its a good point.
I also like flaws! :D especially if they don't mention how gorgeous the FL/ML is in every chapter lol
I feel like not all main chars have to be drop dead beautiful, ykno ykno? :'D
Also, a flaw in decision making or emotion or even small details like being allergic to cats add to their charm hehe!
That's what I'm doing in my novel at least :'D but I do understand that not a lot of people like it. I think most would prefer OP, flawless MC? Not sure, thooo
Spacekitty26 my characters aren't the all too overly goody two shoes. The obnoxious female is obnoxious for a reason due to her flaw. Insecure about being alone. The FL is a glutton a few times who enjoys meat and cakes and never really goes for the conventional cutleries if given the chance
Bloom759 you all have good options
