“Misanthropic edgy genius is better than the normies around him” wore out its welcome for me around the time House became popular.

THEN Rick and Morty happened. :disgost:

eh he’s shown to be human and putting up an act time and time again, which is more depth than most of those characters have.

But I get what you mean.

He’s shown to be an almost superhuman genius while also normalizing the idea of being an asshole.

Compared to what characters? House types are kind of standard now in fiction.

“Misanthropic edgy genius is better than the normies around him” Is why I don’t enjoy watching anime because 1 out of 5 MCs are like that

Must be a new anime thing because that wasn’t a common thing in the 20th century anime, at least. Don’t remember it being that popular in the 2000s either.

Agreed. And the “slowly they start to tolerate the presence of the lesser ones around him especially if they’re hot” thing in a lot of anime is horrid. :pathetic:

And somehow the the hot popular girl falls for him despite him having almost 0 charisma during his first impression

Have you exclusively watched isekais? Anime has a lot of flaws, but this is not the most common one. The average male MC is either really stupid or cries a lot, sometimes both and often horny.
