what part of 'haters gonna hate' went over your head during induction?

Being a self-insert has nothing to do with whether the character is a literalwho within the story, in fact many "chosen one" powerLARPers are also the typical bland self-insert beta pieces of shit.

Have you tried not consuming Japanese media? This is all you're going to get. Most anime/manga is explicitly designed for the audience to project themselves onto the character as a self-insert. That's why most manga/anime suck.

A good balance would be a character who starts out as a literally who, goes on to become overpowered, then ends up getting bitchslapped by reality partway through

STFU westfaggot shill.
Most Anims/Manga are great. You suck.

That's a stupid idea

every time a manga does that it just comes across as a soft reset of the "every arc up until this point was just a prologue and didn't matter" kind and tends to throw out most of the supporting cast and early humor to double down on powerlevel autism in some kind of battle royale featuring the weakest the big leagues have to offer
