Giving your characters positive traits is crucial because it makes them engaging and likable, however, you can go too far. If your characters have so many positive traits, that they're perfect and don't have any flaws, this can anger readers and bore them. On the other hand, if your characters don't have any positive traits, readers may find it hard to connect with them or care about their journey. The key is to strike a balance between positive and negative traits, allowing your characters to develop and grow throughout the story. By embracing your characters' positive traits and using them to propel your story forward, you can ensure a captivating story!
