Would you rather direct the Heroine or the Love Interest?

Just a general discussion.

If you could choose one character to follow your every command, which would it be?

The heroine or her main love interest?

How come?

Me? I would control what her love does, to make sure they STAY her love and only hers alone laugh

You mean which person's point of view should the author focus on (male vs. female)?

No no, sorry for the confusion, just if you could control one or the other which would you choose. I'm sure a mangaka controls all or most characters since its their story, But YOU AS A READER; who's actions would you control?

i see so u are asking which POV the narration should have.....

well i absolutely love something like

tokyo marble chocolate

the movie was far more entertaining.(i heard it won some awards too)
it is divided into 2 half hour films that tell the course of events first from girl's POV then from boy's pov

there was some manga i read eensy weensy monster which was same

so i honestly think things like this appeal to a larger audience.... narration from one person's pov all the while gets monotonous dead

I understood you like this:
If there are two characters who are important for the story(male&female), which one would you control. Like having a gamepad in your hand and influencing the story by controling the character??

well, I'd chose the stupider one^^ (means if the boy doesn't understand anything I'd chose him, if the girl was dense I'd control her) and try to make things go as easy as possible + try to get a happy end as fast as possible, so the story would either become boring or tragic (if I fail)...

good thing that I don't have the ability to control a character laugh
