I’m currently working on my first story, and a pretty big part about it, is sort of worrying me a bit. See, the main character in the story is a male. I decided to go this route, because, I feel like it is different, and would differentiate this story from others like it. But, my main question is that, would you, as a reader, end up reading a story with a male lead? (All things aside – the plot, characters, etc. Would the male MC make you skeptical, or hesitant to give it a read?)
I’m fine with any answer, I’m just setting up this thread as a basic survey, to see how much of the episode community would be willing to give this type of story a try (all votes are left anonymously, but feel free to give a reasoning for your vote in the comments).
If it looked interesting, I would read it. In fact, I might even be more interested because if the author made a male protaganist, perhaps the story is unique in other ways as well.
No, I am not saying all this because my story has a male protaganist.
