What are the worst examples of a self-insert of the author?

>>281605746 (OP)
Kirito is cool though, and SAO is underrated these days.

The self-insert to end all self-inserts.

>>281605797
Everything after Aincrad shits the bed, Kirito included. SAO is best when Kirito and Asuna are working (or just bumming around the house) together and actually interacting.

>>281605818
Is that the authors favorite girl who lost. and he got pissed about it?

>>281605746 (OP)
But that's not his self insert
this is

>shamelessly shilling sao hate everyday
kys, bot. sao mogs your top 3

>>281605847
no, it doesn't. alicization is where sao is it its peak, and lns are even better than the anime

>>281605847
>Everything after Aincrad shits the bed
GGO was good because it gave us a Sinon who is on par with Asuna in terms of hotness, and it bought back the stakes.

"SAO is bad"

Too bad the backstory kinda blows
>wrestle a gun from a dude holding up the post office
>take out the human trash
>save everyone there's life
>ugly whores at your school bully you over this because they are just jealous
>develop PTSD due to completely unjustified bullying

>>281605972
Self insert of the mangaka, yes. But not for the audience.

>>281606198
reread the OP

>>281606120
If you kill someone, you are a murderer.

>>281605746 (OP)
Harima is the most clear cut example, but your usage of the word “worst” automatically excludes him.

>>281606326
if you kill someone, they die

>>281606326
Good thing she only took out some garbage

>>281606120
>poser doesn't know about kegare

>>281605746 (OP)
We've been through this. The self-insert is Asuna.

>>281607243
it's not your place to to decide that
they need to be tried in a court of law and given the death penalty by the collective

>>281607645
shut up, cuck

>>281607645
>it's not your place to to decide that
I am the law, I received the mandate of heaven after my neighbors yard flooded.

Just like his fanbase as well.

Anon, take your meds, please

>>281607645
the state cannot be trusted with the authority to decide who dies, it makes it too easy for corrupt officials to have their political enemies legally murdered

>>281608322
that's... not a problem in first world countries

>>281608420
good one

>>281605972

What are you? I am being serious... What do you want?

Angela's twintails make her extra sophisticated.

>>281608987
I think you should do some research.

fuck bad self inserts, what are the best ones where you watch an anime and think "wow he's literally me"?

>>281607645
>Armed robbery and pointing a gun at kids and pregnant women
>sheeeit he dindu nuffin! let da goberment decide his fate!

It's a tossup between pic related and mayuri as they're both wanked endlessly by kubo. If he tried to write a fight between the two he'd kill himself over the thought of one of them losing.

>>281605972
Yuko isn't a mary sue or at least not an offensive one. Besides Itō deserves to indulge herself given what she's going through.

>>281609156
forgot pic

>>281607524
As time pass, the author hate for Jinshi extend to MaoMao, so no?

>>281608152
Thank you.
It's nice to see that I'm not the only one who stopped reading after the bear.
It's not bad at all, I just need more time to digest Alicization before starting Unital Ring.
I feel like UR will be most enjoyable if I understand all the previous stories better.

>>281606326
No, that's not what that word means.

>>281609752
in Japanese, the word murderer is hito-goroshi.
A person killer.
You killed a person.

>>281609117
When you murder, you are lowering yourself to their level. The only way we can advance as a society is by removing the concept of killing from our lives. The act of killing someone has permanently sullied your mind and you should be excluded from the rest of us.

>>281606326
>>281610355
>killing is inherently le bad!
why is society like this?

>>281610355
Self defense isn't murder if you live outside commiefornia. If you don't want people to do that to you don't hold up public places.

>>281610923
Self defense isn't required in a high trust society.

>>281611072

Turned a whole ass apocalyptic genocidal mecha war against a machine intelligence into a romantic comedy just so her selfinsert could fuck her dark and broody husbando

>>281605797
Which is why this “But self-insert should mean self-insert of the author, not character designed for the audience to replace itself with.” basically makes the term useless as a form of literary criticism because whether it applies or not completely depends on knowing the personal details of the author's life which are rarely known and it doesn't define a particular archetype because of that. If the author be an interesting person then putting himself into the story of course puts an interesting character into the story.

>>281609033
>um sirs you need to back up your claims with ou- I mean Official sources.

>>281610355
this person is indian don't argue with him

>>281611134
Sorry bud, but I'm only explaining how the Japanese think. If you don't like it then don't watch anime or read manga.

>>281611083
No, but if you kill them then you are not part of the collective anymore. I'm not going to fraternize with a killer.

>>281611364
Fucking retarded logic when it's self defense. Anyone who thinks this way should rope immediately

>>281605797
>>281605746 (OP)
Satoo is underrated

>>281605746 (OP)
the author can pull off sasuga moves?

>>281612410
back when sao was a wn the idea of an action rpg mmo was basically non existant or jank instance based diablo 2 slop

years later they're still seething about it

That DxD prick

All haremslop protagonists are audience self inserts.
And the harder a haremslop fan base denies it, harder you know they self insert.

>>281608152
I had no idea he lost THAT much

>>281608152
>1) Only females are self-inserts
Tranny detected, opinion discarded

>>281612850
Remember kids, its only harem if there is a polyamorous sexual relationship with one male and at a minimum of three women. If there is no sex, it's not harem.
What you are likely thinking about is slice of life rom com slop that has been in anime for 40 years and what people on /a/ have been propping up every season.
Complain about slice of life and rom com instead.

>>281612688
>20 years later and incels are still seething because some anime character was forced to have a girlfriend

>>281605847
Kirito is better when Asuna is not involved.

>>281614031
With Kirito alone you have someone who actually focuses on the plot and world building. With Asuna, you get some boring conversation about some obscure trivia or real life shit that goes on for like 5 pages.

>>281608152
>self-inserts can't lose
Go read any explicit self-insert fanfic.
Those dorks love 'balancing' themselves by making themselves lose inconsequential fights all the time. Or lose badly and come out with battle scars or something that make them edgier, but still just as strong and now even cooler.

>>281609057
It wasn't a good feeling, but Mori Buntaro from Kokou no Hito.

>>281614402
Yes yes we already know about how Asuna is loved and adored and gets pushed at every opportunity. Make sure to buy your Asuna merch.

>>281614971
Of all the things that SEED has done, that picture was the most confusing and made the least amount of sense.

>>281605746 (OP)
Kirito is the good kind of audience self-insert, with flaws and worries that make people sympathize with him.
In the novels, at least.

>>281611111
how's this series going nowadays?
are they going for the final boss?

>>281617156
I don't know, I dropped it after the arc with the robot zombie girls in notRussia because the romantic plot tumor grew too big for me to tolerate anymore

>>281611111
That LITERALLY sounds like sword art online. Seriously fuck Romance slop why can't they just focus on the story, world, and action?
Also I see those digits.
