What are the ingredients to create the perfect MC?

Sugar, spice and everything nice.

Don't make him a whiny unlikable faggot like every other anime MC

flat chest, a moe fang, and twintails

Overpowered (No asspull just strong as fuck)
Fuck the shy girl and Ntr the tsundere
Cocky towards the enemies and make fun of them
Protect the weak.
He has a sense of humor

That's it man

Fuck, beat me to it.

Stay true to the character, he/she has limits, strong points, weakness, and their own sets of problems. Don't make him/her perfect, but don't make him/her a piece of shit either. People will know if you try to pander, or just making a self insert character and power fantasy. Your character will have a goal, and the journey will be the plot of your anime/manga.

That being said, all this doesn't work if you're trying to make a SoL story.

Intelligent, Nihilistic and with a wicked sense of humor.

Female lesbian with dicks.

>Female lesbian

Edge and a raped/butchered/missing older sister.

makes reasonable decisions

It depends of the purpose of his/her character and the context. What you want to do, what's the story about.
There is not a good for everything character.

50% lead, that way you have a valid excuse when the MC acts like a dense faggot.

You should read xianxia

>perfect MC
Depends entirely on the story. But a good character is in 99.9% of cases identifiable and interesting/likeable. And the way you implement such a character into a story is by having his moral values and/or psychological flaws challenged by opposition that comes at him from various angles. The opposition should preferably come from equally detailed allies and opponents with their own sets of moral values and psychological flaws. Works for every genre even comedies, romances and dramas not just actionshit.

Young Joseph Joestar
>Good looking
>/fit/
>Tall
>has a sense of humor
>not an edgelord but can be serious when the time comes
>knows his weaknesses
>inb4 plot armor

the genre is up to you.

Make him weak and make him lose but still staying cocky, also no love interests

These are correct.
It especially ticks me off when the MC's retarded decisions lead to pointless drama that could've easily been avoided.

Guts but in a generic lolis' body

Loneliness and suffering

4 parts genki

Mix well in a wholesome environment for 15-16 years and serve with a cup of tea.

not a teenage highschooler.

Make him part of the joestar bloodline

i read tales of demons and gods and yes the MC is JUST what i described. I'm surprise the chinks got more balls than japan

i prefer pic related better

if you can say "this could very well have been a real human" when you look at the personality. that would be the first step into the right direction.
an interesting character is not supposed to simply be lead from a to b by the plot , but instead the actions of the character should be directed by his personality and desires, with the plot being a result of this.
the character should be not only defined by how he interacts with others, but also the things he does by or for himself.
the character should embody a person before he embodies an ideal, characters which are cookie-cut into nice-guy or badass-roles often lack room for being more than just their role. they simply become predictable because we already know them.
a good character takes his time questioning himself and his goals and ideals, may it change or convince him in following them.
it is very important how other characters react to the mc: even if the mc plays out the nice guy, characters may just reject him for personal reasons instead of wanting his D. while kirito was an ass , everyone still loved him.
he can be powerful, but if his power makes him always win the story loses its tension. last-second power ups are even more stupid. again, things like SAO suffer this problem.

if you enjoy the character as he is or not is up to the overall supposed tone of the story and if the character fits into it.

thats all i can think of right now
