Is this the most famous self-insert of all time?

I bet more people know about Sonichu just by pure number of today's population.

Well, Sonichu is a strange case because Chris Chan also appears as himself in the comics, unless it's just two self-inserts talking to each other.

“For Julie’s eyes only” the uncensored version actually has 1.5 million views which is more than I expected. Also the news of the incest scandal actually overtook the then ongoing Olympics on Twitter when that was happening. That’s insane to me that more Twitter users were talking Chris Chan than about the Olympics

The Olympics are a mem. It doesn't have any real value.

There are actually like ten Chris Chan self inserts in Sonichu nowadays

>Sonichu
>Chris Chan
>Chris Chan (the actual writer appearing as himself to break the 4th wall)
>Night star- mlp horse
>Reldnahc
>Christine Chandler (fictional sister that is basically him as a woman)
>Chris Chan Sonichu
>Christine Chandler - separate character from classic Chris in the comic who kicks pre-transition Chris in the nuts in one scene for being homophobic

There’s even more than these but that’s just off the top of my head

Oh yeah. There’s also Sammy - the temporarily overweight and stupid version of Chris

Sonichu audiobook narrator: “we learn that Chris is indeed fat and stupid.”

Probably.

Another well-known example: Chaucer self-inserts into The Canterbury Tales, but portrays himself as a guy who can't tell a story to save his life.

1) how is it self-insert if the book is metaphorically autobiographical? Pretty self-inserts usually are not supposed to be the author and the authors dont give them their real name. Dante in Divine Comedy is not a character, it's Dante Alighieri.
2) Stop trying to apply your internet gobblygook speech to classics. The book is celebrated 700 hundred years (give or take) after it was written, meanwhile there is no proof that you even exist beyond this post. From pits of hell you are trying to strike at DIVINE Comedy. Dumbfuck redditor.
