>very tall>rich>talented >handsome >women want him >chadlitehow am I supposed to self insert as the MC in modern romcom anime or manga if the protagonist doesn't look like me? I use fiction as an escapism from reality, why would I want to see a Chad getting all the women in fiction, just like in real life? Makes no sense. I guess japanese men are used to NTR stories but that's an alien concept for westerners. I want to see a brave loser like me getting his one in a million chance and getting away with it for once.
you're not supposed to self-insert in the first place
>>288498972>but that's an alien concept for westerners.NTR is way more common in the west, especially among women's mediayou'd be hard pressed to find any romance story that doesn't involve infidelity or the love interest being taken by somebody else
>>288498972As a kid you could imagine yourself doing a kamahemeha, but as an adult you can't imagine yourself even moderately successful?
>>288499045No I can't, not in this economy, not in this hypergamic society where dating apps exist, not at all. I'm 5'5 and making the minium wage. Im fully aware I will never own a home, let alone a woman. But it would be nice to see a story about someone like me turning his luck around.
>>288498972I feel like for once the ones that are supposed to self insert are the women
>>288499137There are countless stories where a wimpy manlet loser gets a harem of hot chicks.
>>288498972>how am I supposed to self insertOnly brain-damaged lonley incels losers with no redeemable personalities ever do this shit
>>288499616yes but japanese protagonists look like women and are utter crying faggots, I'm an ugly manlet but extremely masculine.
>>288498972>how am I supposed to self insertMaybe don't
>self inserting No self respecting wizard, ie site user base, does this. How about you lurk 2 moar years and try to assimilate
Gojo is not rich.
>>288498972You know, if you want to talk about this show or the original manga, you don't have to incelpost.
>>288498972>very tallMost anime characters are pretty tall anyway, but I can still accept this one.>richHe's not struggling or in debt or anything, but he's not rich by any means.>talentedIf you count being good in some dying traditional craft, then sure.>handsomeNo. Marin's the only one saying that because she's in love with him, and sees him through her shoujo vision>women want himHe's literally friendless at the start of the series.>chadliteI don't even know what this means.He got his qualities, but people overrate him by alot when he's just a variation of the usual romcom MC where a popular girl who suddenly took an interest in him.
>>288500118Nah but he's a skilled artisan in a family business in a respected industry. Dude's set for life.
>>288498972Literally every jap show is about faggot losers, including that one.
>>288499758>I'm 5'5"... but extremely masculine
>>288500458You have the opposite problem from OP, projecting your patheticness unto characters instead of wanting them all to be pathetic.
>>288498972i know OP is not a serious person but why do people want to self insert in stories? Is being the audience like in a stage play not enough? You can relate to motives in a character but self inserting is just strange
>>288500393>very tall>Most anime characters are pretty tall anyway, but I can still accept this one.sometimes they aren't even really tall, in one story the "tall" character was just 5'8, kek
>>288498972I understand that you are just a retarded falseflagging NTRcuck and for some reason this show completely mindbroke you and the rest of your ilk but I’ll reply anyway: the problem is that you are referring to yourself as a self-inserter which means you already lost the game before it began because you’re using a pejorative engineered to shame you as an identity. This term was originally made to shame men for writing sex fantasies, and NTRfags (and their yurifag cousins) now use this term to describe anyone who merely has a sexual fantasy that involves themselves as opposed to getting off on other people having sex - because it makes it sound not only as insane as NTRshittery but implies that everyone is doing what they do (fantasizing about other people’s sexual encounters) but the self-insertion is some necessary extra step which is dishonest and fucking retarded.In reality nobody actually does this and nobody is going through the extra effort of having a fantasy about Gojo fucking Marin and then trying to consume the identity of Gojo in their own head. This is obviously not something you do and if you admitted to it nobody would take you seriously because the concept is so ridiculous. Self-insertion is something that can be done when creating a story, never when consuming it. There are times when people use this term in good faith to describe consumption of media, but in reality they are just referring to a basic mode of perception that is so normal it doesn’t need a stupid faggot term to describe it, it’s probably learned behavior from reading this false rhetoric in threads like this.
