I know I said that you should probably avoid making your OC characters be carbon copies of the canon main character so that the story doesn't just become the same thing just with a clone in it, but SOME of you all, i swear to god...

I didn't say to go the other side of the spectrum now, have i? Cause you're not making the story any less predictable. You're just making the story take place on Backwards day, constantly. And that gets old...quite fast in fact. But fret not. I've decided to, once again, bestow some knowledge on you, dedicated students. SO BUCKLE UP, KIDS! Class is in session.
First things first, how can one knows for sure when their character should agree and when it should disagree with a canon character? It's not like there's a guidebook anywhere to explain this, right? Well, how about I answer with a question of my own. Why the hell are you writing a character like they're a paper cutout to begin with? Did y'all skip my lessons on main characters? Unbelievable!

Now to get our hands dirty, you can't sustain a story on just fishbones alone. The fishbones in this case being edgy pictures, lists of superpowers and just 20 pages of harem bait. I mean, you can do that, it's not just going to give that good of a look. Grab a mirror somewhere in the house and ask yourself why did I write this?
