Where are they?!  

I will pay good money for this information! 

 

I am dead serious here, my 15-year-old sister is a Tsundere.  She a pain but so cute but such a fucking pain too.  You should be careful with what you ask for dude.

There is also a limit to just how many different character traits there are in the range of "common personalities". After 700 VNs you've met them all so of course you'll have to go looking for people that are far outside the 2 standard deviations for normality in personality traits. That said, I'm quite sure there is severe bias in moege since the true number of tsundere osananajimi in the entire world is probably about 4. They just happened to capture a certain charm that is unique in not requiring much emotional investment since their tsun side is more comical than offensive and the fact they are dere at the end gives an overwhelming sense of achievement. Narusegawa was amazing as the first anime tsundere I was introduced to, but it was pretty new back then...

I find tsunderes cute rather than comical.

Not everything... but the stuff that isn't generic rarely sells as well as the most generic ones, lol. 

For instance... the heroine that left the biggest impression on me in the last few years was Kamio Ami from Semiramis no Tenbin, and that is because there are literally no heroines with the same persona/archetype in any of the VNs I've played.  However, she is definitely an acquired taste... (she is a part of my ideal VN harem)

 

That not what I meant. The reason something is generic is because people like it. Is popular.  The less popular it is, the less generic it will be.  Generic to me isn't bad but how it is execute that will determine if I like it or hate.
