Title: What kind of main character makes you keep reading?
Post by: Lewis Yazmine on February 13, 2026, 02:24:18 pm

What type of main character instantly grabs your attention and makes you want to keep reading? Not even love the book yet - just feel curious enough to give it a real shot?

I think a lot of it comes down to presence. When a main character feels self-aware, confident in who they are, and not overly dramatic, it’s much easier to trust the story. I’m especially drawn to characters who don’t explain everything about themselves right away - there’s something compelling about watching their personality unfold slowly. At the same time, it’s clear everyone looks for something different: comfort, intensity, romance, or power. That variety is what makes these discussions fun. More opinions can be found here:
