When writing, what do you find is most effective to get readers to like your characters. I usually use the strategy where the character has some unlikable characteristic that makes them not too perfect, and still relatable, but lately that's become a bit cliche, if you know what i mean.

Im trying something where the character starts out as a total douchebag, and then slowly gets better. What's a technique that works for you?
