However, things are changing and we seem to be moving away from these things. Certainly Haruka from Yosuga no Sora for example is probably just as attractive as the female characters in the show.  |
That's probably a misconception that many people think who don't frequently read eroges.
The protagonists do and should have some personality, otherwise the story will almost get unbearable like
Imouto no Katachi.
As such i can easily name plenty of good main characters in eroge who have interesting backstories, traits and/or personalities.
