: Re: How can a main character in a visual novel attract people of different personalities besides having a single trait each of them is attracted to? Ok, so I currently have a visual novel (For

If your premise was true --no one person with a consistent personality can be attractive to multiple people --then no real person would ever date more than one other person. The same person can be attractive to multiple other people for various reasons. Let's look at some real world ones:

1 - Physical attractiveness: A lot of different people will be attracted to someone beautiful, regardless of other traits. It's just a fact of life.

2 - Kindness or otherwise good personality: You dismissed it as clichéd but again, this is a real-life attractive trait for many, otherwise different people.

3 - Mystery: A lot of people find someone mysterious, stand-offish or otherwise unapproachable to be an irresistible challenge.

4 - A bold or vivid personality - People like a leader.

5 - Money or power - Nearly as universal as #1 .

6 - Inexplicable attractiveness - Hey, some people just have "it."

I could go on, and on, but all of this is completely in line with real world romances. The only problem I see is if it's important to your storytelling construct that each love interest have a unique trait they like (in which case, I would direct you to @Galastel 's answer).
