How to implement custom object mapping in ASP NET CORE MVC?

Question

ASP.NET

Such a question
I was told that the Automapper is evil and it is better not to use it.
How then to deal with my implementation of the mapper without displaying c#
I mean, it’s tedious for me to use and create my own mapper class for each DTO for each VIewModel?
For example there

public class RoleMapperUpdateModel : IMapper<RoleDTO, UpdateRoleViewModel>
    {
        public UpdateRoleViewModel Map(RoleDTO source)
        {
            return new UpdateRoleViewModel()
            {
                Id = source.Id,
                Name = source.Name,
                Users = source.Users
            };
        }

        public RoleDTO MapBack(UpdateRoleViewModel destination)
        {
            return new RoleDTO()
            {
                Id = destination.Id,
                Name = destination.Name,
                Users = destination.Users
            };
        }
    }

and so for all
If yes, then how to be?
Is it better to move the mapper to a separate project and use it already in the logic layer and the presentation layer
Or is it better to create just a daddy with all the mapper classes on different layers?
Thanks in advance?

Might be worth asking

I was told that the Automapper is evil and should not be used.

And remind him of the principle of do not reinvent the next wheel?
