I wish I knew. It's the worst story with the most insufferable main character I've ever read.

What's wrong with Shirou

This. It's fun.

What was the deal with Fate/hollow ataraxia?

You either missed the point or got hard filtered by the idealism. Shirou is written to be a contradiction, that's the whole damn point of his character. He's not supposed to be likable in a traditional sense - he's a trainwreck of trauma and self-denial wrapped in heroism. Watching him try to live up to an impossible ideal is exactly what makes his arc compelling. If that ain't your thing, cool, but calling it the worst story? Cope harder.

Why does Shirou think of himself as a hero?
