User blog comment:Mmpratt99 deviantart/A Question About Accents--Is It Better For Characters Not To Have An Accent?/@comment-26326346-20150706232409

I'd say that it depends on whether they are written well or not. As Umbrello mentioned, Banning did a fantastic job with accents in For Love and Hot Chocolate. Koromo also did an excellent job with accents in A Few Bad Apples, I feel like they added to both stories.

However, I'd say that accents would be annoying if one cannot do the accents right or in a clever way. That's just my two and half cents on the matter though.
