Just a fun little rant book I wanted to make full of stuff that really bothers me in stories.
DISCLAIMER: The point of this book is for me to vent about weird things I find in stories and for you to laugh at those things! If you are guilty of doing...
The way people have reader inserts interact with characters.
It's one of the reasons I hate reader stories.
SERIOUSLY, LOOK AT THIS EXAMPLE!
(Backstory for example:Example takes place in RWBY episode "The Stray" in the big argument with Weiss and Blake BUT this time a genderbentSun is there to witness Weiss insult her, but as expected contributed nothing to somewhat change the argument itself. Let's see how the author has the reader contribute to the conversation especially since the reader is already dating Weiss and Blake...and Ruby...and Yang...and genderbent Sun even though she was introduced in the same chapter....
(Side note: Frost is Mr.Author's meaningless OC.")

Notice how empty the reader's contributions are? Notice how the characters barely acknowledge the reader's inputs? It's something I notice a LOT in reader stories, where they contribute absolutely nothing to anything and are just THERE!
"Okay, now that is just REALLY offensive if you ask me."
Ignoring the fact that the line in general is absolutely stupid, not a single character acknowledges it.
HEY WEISS! YOU'RE OFFENDING THE BOYFRIEND THAT YOU LOVE SO MUCH! GONNA ACKNOWLEDGE IT?!..........LOOKS LIKE THAT'S A NO!
That's horrible character interaction, ESPECIALLY with characters in relationships!
And the reader's last line bugs me to.
"Both of you stop arguing stop arguing and come on. We're leaving."
SERIOUSLY TWO OF YOUR "GIRLFRIENDS" ARE ARGUING BECAUSE ONE OF THEM IS BEING RACIST AND THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY! NOT EVEN A LITTLE MORE QUESTIONING WEISS! YOU'RE JUST GONNA WALK OFF AND IGNORE YOUR GIRLFRIEND BEING RACIST!?
