You know what really grinds my gears?

When people make an asshole reader.

And I'm not talking about a "HAHA! He is such a funny asshole!" reader.

I'm talking about a way to realistic asshole that could exist in real life. One that would probably do this if they had the power. And I don't mean in a way where they could be given some kind of character development.

Then again reader inserts don't really get character development so that last sentence doesn't make much sense.

To understand what I mean, take a look at this example, from once again, a RWBY story.

I should really start using examples from different fandoms.

For context the reader is basically meeting every relevant character in RWBY. But today let's focus on their interaction with Qrow. Also Ilia, Sienna, and Ciel are there for harem purposes.

Ooooo nice~ A misunderstanding joke

Ooooo nice~ A misunderstanding joke. So it looks like the four are, sadly, gonna beat up Qrow. But it's fine, it's for a joke after all. It'll probably end with somebody explaining the misunderstanding!

AND QROW DOESN'T EVEN GET AN APOLOGY AT THE END FOR IT TO BE A JOKE, THE CHAPTER FUCKING ENDS RIGHT THERE.

Then again humor is subjective.

BUT I DON'T THINK BEING AN ASSHOLE IS!
