So, I’m creating my first story, its a romcom/slice of life and I need some help on whether or not I should add customization to my MC’s. The only reason why I don’t want to add CC is because it’d take up a whole chapter and I’m planning my story to only be about 5-7 chapters long. Also, I’d like to know if CC is even that important to stories, I personally don’t care whether or not there is CC, but I need majorities opinion on it.
So, whats your thoughts? Should I add CC or not?
Sorry if this is misplaced, this is my first post.
To put it bluntly, I really do not care if a story has or has no CC - for me, I enjoy many CC as well non CC stories. What matters is the actual story as well as what you would like in a story!
Personally, I don’t care and sometimes prefer it when stories don’t have CC. But since so many people like it, I added it to my story anyway. It attracts readers
Okay, I don’t get particularly annoyed when there’s no CC in a story, but I do prefer stories that have CC in it, I’d usually read stories w/ out CC’s with an exception that they’re reaaallly good.
I prefer no CC, personally. I want the characters to be as the author envisioned them.
But it really is up to you. If you don’t have a problem with putting CC in your story, i’d definitely recommend doing it as it would attract more readers. But if you don’t feel comfortable with it you shouldn’t. It’s your story after all, and you should be able to do what you want with it!
Just adding my opinion, I think CC is good in stories with a lot of choices because that way the author can do what they think their character/themself would do. If it’s mostly non-choice, then a premade MC should be fine. Personally, I love CC.
