@Donya1386 - This is a noble ambition. Too many people nowadays are attracted to darkness and trying to be as edgy as possible. But I assure you, you’re not alone! There are plenty of us who still enjoy “good” characters! Sadly, for every action, there must be an equal and opposite reaction, thus, for every person who loves heroes there will be a person that loves villains.
There’s definitely a market out there for heroes, but like you said, many people still enjoy moral ambiguity and even evil. Somehow we need to change the public opinion that good=boring. The way I see it good=interesting and bad=boring, those are the kind of narratives I like to see in the world. That’s the kind of mindset I want to spread. So the question we should ask is not, “How do I write an interesting good person?” Rather, it should be, “How can I convince people that goodness is inherently interesting?”
The example of super interesting good characters that comes to mind is Finn, Rey, and Poe from Star Wars! But inevitably, some people seem to like the villain Kylo Ren just as much the main protagonists. It’s frustrating! How can they like Kylo when we have such a beautiful and interesting character like Rey…? I admit that I also resent the appreciation villains seem to be showered with.
….So I guess the lesson is that you could make the most interesting good guy in the world and someone would still prefer the villain. We can try our best to influence our audience, but they will always form their own opinions regardless. My advice to you is simply to keep writing! It’s important to have writers out there who stay true to themselves and tell the stories they feel compelled to share. Don’t true to cater to the lowest common denominator, you can do better than that. Create a character that is soft, and kind, and bright, and gentle!

Well, is it necessary that a good person is ALWAYS good?

Is it necessary that a good person ALWAYS succeeds?
Often times what makes an interesting “good” person, is their struggle with being good, because the most insidious evils are oh-so-tempting.
Typically what makes ANY character interesting is their goals, and the obstacles that get in the way of their goals.
For example, I would consider Doctor Doom a good character. His intention is to save the world. He also happens to be extremely arrogant, and he has knowledge of the future that only under his leadership will humanity both survive AND thrive.
So, he is actually waging a war against the forces which threaten to make humanity extinct… that seems like a good character to me.
Of course, he’s flawed. All characters are flawed. Evil characters are flawed, and good characters are flawed, but what makes them good or evil are their intentions. What makes them interesting are their flaws, and how they overcome those flaws (or don’t) in pursuit of their goals.
Or was there something more specific that you were hoping for.
