Da Vinci more like Don’t Vinci
Once again the only female main character has to be younger than our male protagonist and end up being the love interest by the end. She has to be beautiful and clever but not as witty or charming as the MC because this is basically a self-insert of the author’s fantasy of being taken seriously by younger women.
Do we really have to sexualise her right away, Dan? Can you write a single woman without talking about her body the moment we meet her?
