Ok so a brief rundown before I ask my "question" (not even really a question) to nobody lol. A lot of the books I read have a female oc, mainly because most of the good ones have a female lead and I don't really mind who's the mc in a book as long as it's good (I do adore the good male oc book I get every now and then tho when i find one) Because of that, every time I start to write a book, I make the lead female cause I'm more used to reading about that. However. I myself, am surprisingly NOT a female. So despite reading a lot of those books, I have no insight into the female life or whatever. But while I'm not as well versed in the male protag, I feel like I could write it pretty good since I'm a, well, male. So I'm thinking of doing more male oc books than female. Also ignore the fact that my draft books never make it past 8 chapters before I lose motivation, this isn't about that right now.

@JustAGuy557 Tbh. I write female characters because its just what im used to writing. Its the norm for me, and i have struggles writing male characters because i feel like im doing them a diservice. Please- do a male character. Not because you cant write a female one- but because stories on here are lacking variety in terms of gender. Not that the gender matters too much. Its really the plot and personalities that matter. But regardless, its good to have some variety.
