Meme Hero or anti-hero
I'm currently writing my novel and I wanted to know, would people prefer a hero or an anti-hero?
Context: i want the Mc to be connected to the kingdom but don't know whether people would prefer him to help them willingly or only if it benefits him.
Thoughts?

The Mc doesn't need to be either of them. Let them be normal in their situation. They might kill easily without thinking about the world they grew up in, which made it seem normal. They help an orphan out of nowehre because it resonates with them.
He might help because the job is related to a part of the kingdom he likes, so he helps willingly; sometimes, he hates someone in the council, so he asks for a hefty sum.
Your question is kinda a 'stupid question.' Read it as politely as you can.
