Say your worst about Saber. Why does she job so hard everytime?
>>
Her only real Jobbing losses are against Diarmuid (she was utterly retarded in that fight), her debate/emotional losses in Zero (cause Butcher cant write), and Hassan (really shouldve noticed that swirling black mass on the floor). The rest have some degree of reason and overall her win ratio is higher.

How on earth could you infer that from what I said? I said that Prototype Arthur is better than Arturia. Which is true. Better stats, better NP, better realization that didn't come from a bunch of men telling her she's a shitty King and a little girl. That was cringey as fuck, and I'm glad that Arthur didn't have that shit with the servants in Fragments.

I mean in the original legend the reason who went to lancelot was because Arthur was so distant being the king and all.

I guess what I'm saying is that fate/prototype saber just doesn't have that distant beleaguered look I'd expect of such a characterization.

Arthur being a girl actually really fits well with the legend and I know that change was only made since it was an eroge but I really like that it was done.

This. I think the tumblrina is just a troll. Fate series certainly wouldn't have been as successful without Seibaclones and waifubaiting, but I can see the original otome game with Bishi Arthur being more coherent narrative-wise.

This goes back to Shirou-bashing. Man he's so fucking dumb, and keep haxing his way through the sheer power of being self insert VN protagonists. I'd take anything other than a dumbass knucklehead MC that keeps getting protected by plot armor. A damsel in distress feMC with her fantasy knight in shining armor might be cliched, but at least it won't be as inconsistent as FSN VN, especially for Fate and UBW route where Shirou just hax his way into victory

I like Hero-type characters, so I find him likable, and what job does Shirou, exactly? He's controversial but that doesn't mean he's not a great character.

>that doesn't mean he's not a great character.

He plowed through the Fate route being an utter knucklehead without learning anything, he stuck with "girls shouldn't fight" motto all the way till the bitter end and got rewarded for it if you don't count the bad endings. Even if you do, half of the choices requires you to act like an utter knucklehead like jumping in front of Berserker to protect Saber and get smashed to pulp, rather than running away with Rin. Even after getting kidnapped by Ilya, causing problem with everybody and then rescued, he still wonders in broad daylight and sneak off at night without protection. Finally he hax his way into beating Gil. This is not to mention Gil just straight out leaving them to live on day 14 after he crushes both him and Saber for no reason other than bad writing because otherwise the pair would've gotten annihilated. Great idea with your "date" and thinking with your dick eh Shirou. And again, what's frustrating is that he keeps getting away with this idiocy through sheer power of being self insert MC
>>
Taiga is probably most at fault for Shirou turning out the way he did. She was basically the only adult in his life who could have taught him shit like it's not okay to let people walk over you or that he shouldn't have to bear the guilt of living but it seems she never did any of that.

Just used him as a free chef and as someone to play games with.

That's not fair, it's more like modern LN or VN based self insert protags are bad.

Shounen MC used to carry their show, see: Guts, Goku, Luffy, Kenshiro, Pegasus Seiya, hell even Naruto.

Nowadays the waifus carry the show, and you have shit like Shirou, Kirito, Bell, Kyosuke from Oreimo, Takashi from High School of the Dead, Touma, etc who are just bland as bland boring nice guy.

She even taught as his school and presumably would be more in tune with what he went through in elementary/middle school.

Like there was no one better placed to understand the pain that Shirou was going through and understand why he acted the way he did.

Honestly if Taiga had ever acted out of love for Shirou he would never have had to suffer or have to bare the fate of the pains of being a hero.

Kiritsugu was fucked from the beginning and even then he didn't teach Shirou shit like how to blow up a building/plane or fire a rifle.

If that were the case his behavior and personallity traits wouldn't conflict with the expectations or common sense of the average watcher/reader somethig that's far from true.

He literally had no remorse over his sister dying to help beat the Fake King Richard. He also murdered his fellow knights when she gave the whole "stop me or help me purify the world" bit. He is a pretty big shitter.

About this:
>"I summoned you knights because I require your power. While I can destroy my enemies alone, I cannot perform the Holy Selection. I need knights that will become my hands and feet. However. I understand that this act violates your beliefs. Will you obey me, or will you leave my side? Or, will you band together here to strike me down? I will hear your answers at sundown. I can wait no longer than that."


>Sir Gawain understood the significance of King Arthur calling herself the "Lion King."
Sir Tristan blinded himself to the tragedy of the situation.
Sir Lancelot, though he was loathe to admit it, realized that the Lion King's choice was making the best of a bad situation.
Gaheris resolved himself to parting with his older brothers and younger sisters.
Gareth never once doubted that Sir Lancelot, whom she revered, would surely choose to aid King Arthur.

>It was the perfect opportunity to kill the enemy leader.
Lancelot froze. He understood Gareth's feelings, but was hesitant to once more do the deed.
Mordred raged. She had tried to stop her, saying they could win without making such sacrifices.
Agravain quietly placed his hand on the sword hanging at his side. He understood what must be done.
>However. The one who swung his sword and dealt the mortal blow was Gawain.
Along with the last remnants of his heart, he bid farewell to his little sister.

You can stop with your fanfiction.

Didn't he use it in Camelot just fine? It just seems like he exceeded what Stella could sustain and broke on him but he's great either way. Tristan respects him, Ozymandias considers him a true hero, Byrnhildr and Arthur in Fragments wouldn't have beaten Ozymandias without him.

He's underrated as fuck.

You're better off not arguing him. He irrefutably thinks that Shirou is a self-insert protag, and that everyone who likes Shirou must self-insert into him. This includes not liking if one of the heroines is in a relationship with another man, means you are a self-insert shitter.

Fate was always a load of bullshit. The routes are basically:

Fate:
Shirou: I want to save everybody!
END.

UBW:
Shirou: I want to save everybody!
Archer: That is both a logical contradiction and a denial of the self.
Shirou: But the ideal encompasses an aesthetic that makes the endless journey worth it. Why can't I selfishly pursue selflessness?
Archer: Fuck, you're right.
Gilgamesh: MONGRELS! THOSE SWORDS ARE FUCKING PATENTED!
END.

Heaven's Feel:
Shirou: I want to save everybody!
Archer: That is a logical contradiction and a denial of the self. If you do not realize this, you get no Sakura sex.
Shirou: You're right. I'm a moral relativist. God is dead.
Archer: That’s the spirit. Here‘s a present before I go away, don‘t mind it if it starts to kill you.
Kotomine: But I'm still evil somehow, right?
Shirou: Right.
END.

Doesn't make it any less fun though.

Sakurai won't do this shit. The plot has no reason for him to fall in love with her, plus the cast would be too bloated if he was added into the harem.

Technically speaking, all you need to insert into a character is agreeing one aspect of said character, ignore the rest, and voila, they become your proxy character for the rest of the series.
Also, it's much easier to give a character a pass when you can read their thoughts in the VN/LN. It allows you to rationalize why they do the dumbest things in the world. It also allows for easy insertion/proxying.

The same thing you guys have been doing throughout the thread.

>>145194812
This includes not liking if one of the heroines is in a relationship with another man, means you are a self-insert shitter.
This is not wrong. Nasuverse is a multiverse, meaning that in another universe, Saber is having romantic or wants romantic relationships with another man (like the Artoria Romance universe).

Or like how one version of Tamamo and Saber Nero cannot help but love F/E MC and remembers the guy through FGO, but Nasu creates different versions of them that don't for Gudao.

If you do have an issue with Saber (or the other females/heroines in the VN/LN) falling in love with another man that is not simply another version of your insert/proxy character, you are inserting. How this is even a question or debate is beyond logical.

Most eroge protagonists simply fall under this category. Why do people even try to deny this? It makes no sense at all.

You can't self insert as Shirou because the only way the game can progress is if you chose the decisions Shirou (as a character) would choose

If you think for yourself you get a bad ending

I chose the way I wanted to for Tohno Shiki in Tsukihime. I kept looping into bad endings as well.

An MC getting into bad endings because of your own personal choices does not stop that character from becoming your proxy/insert. Rather, you end up rationalizing it as "I made a mistake" and then you end up choosing the "correct" decision wherein you get to understand why that is the correct choice later because the VN explains it to you later.

Why people keep using that shit as an "excuse" is also insufferable.

Thanks for proving me right, kind insecure anons
>>
So I swear I'm not the self insert anon, I've just read the VN like 3 weeks ago but I kinda agree that Shirou is a bad MC. IDK why people here are so triggered with the word "self-insert." The point of protagonist is that it has to be relatable, one doesn't necessarily need to self insert completely. Peter Parker is not a self insert, but through his trouble with Mary Jane, JJ, Aunt May, splitting between work, school, and fighting crime he's relatable say moreso than Thor who's not human and live in Valhalla - which shows up very clearly in comic sales.

Shirou is unquestionably designed to be relatable to your average VN readers. Here's the kicker though, the more you make your character appeal to broader audience, the more bland they become.

We all agree Shirou's character have faults, first of all from straight aesthetics in the world of Saber, Berserker, Lancer, Gil and masters like Rin, Kiritsugu and Kirei his design is boring and bland because the creator wants to make him relatable to your average joe VN reader physically - that is not making him a hulking protagonist like Guts/Kenshiro or a manlet like Edward Elric. He's your run of the mill standard highschooler. Same goes with his inexperience with magic and lack of training. However, he had "super spehsul choosen one" MC hax power that allows him to win against Gil and Archer. I think it is a very valid argument that the way Shirou is watered down to be relatable also contribute to his downfall as a character. A lot of anons are not buying that an average schmuck with 2 weeks magic training can beat Gil the king of heroes. Add to this how dumb and knuckleheaded Shirou is, which has nothing to do with being self-insert and more to do with being a typical MUH JUSTICE shounen MC, but he does keep getting away with his dumb decisions.

TLDR; Shirou is a bad protagonist, partly due to him being watered down audience surrogate to carry the VN while at the same time given hax power.

Not always and in any case Shirou isn't relatable at all at first, a VN reader can only truly understand Shirou after finishing the VN

> Shirou is unquestionably designed to be relatable to your average VN readers.

Nah, his initial characterization is that of anannoying and super protective guy because he is triggered by his saviour complex

His reasoning is completely unlikely that of any normal person and the VN shows that to you through the bad endings

He beat Archer because Archer gave up, Gil lost because he is dumb as fuck amd UBW is better than GOB but even so UBW would be useless against most other servants so it isn't like it's a "Gary stu power" as you implied

1) Shirou has been training with magic ever since he was a child and Kiritsugu teached him (wrongly, for the specific purpose to make him give up)

2) Contact with Archer made him approach his level in the UBW route

3) Gilgamesh is a proud and retarded asshole

I inserted in FSN before, because I thought it was cool, so you can't say that isn't the case. When I was inserting so hard, I was angry that Gilgamesh was trying to NTR me from Saber.
Or that Rin had relationships with other men in HF. I felt as if it was my harem getting formed in the VN, especially in FHA. The only reason I stopped was because I grew up and thought "Man, I really did insert into a dumbfuck just because I like Saber."

Just because you say it's not true, doesn't mean it's not true at all.

Besides, if Saber (Arturia) really does end up having sex with Merlin because they really love each other, if you insert, you will feel NTR'd. I know that insertion in FSN is possible, because I did it before.

>>
>>145203326
>Through this definition it is even more clear
No. You don't understand. You do NOT need to be the same personality as the person you are inserting/using as a proxy in order to do so.

Because if that was the case, no one would insert into Keitaro Urashima. No one would insert into so many harem MCs. The only thing you need to insert into a character is that you choose to insert into the character. That's it.
They become your proxy because you choose them to be your proxy.

This is why so many people who get caught in "vanilla that is actually NTR" stories get angry. They insert into the MC and then when the big bad NTR guy shows up, they're so invested into the original MC, they can't handle the twist in the story.

>You're retarded,

The ending which he lives he acts in utterly retarded way. That's what the anon was saying he keeps getting away with acting retarded. For example jumping in front of Berserker to save Saber, following Saber to fight Caster, and following Saber & Rider to the top of the tower. If you make a sane decision on not to jump into fights between servants (which they drilled home before with Lancer killing you multiple times if you do) you get a bad end.

You were retarded, true, but that doesn't means Shirou is a dumbfuck because of it. The story he is part of was not the one forcing you to self insert, you did on your own accord

Even if that happened it is dumb to imply something like NTR because the Saber that is with Shirou isn't the same one that would be with Merlin because of multiverse

Both decisions ends up with you getting rekt'd. But if you jump in front of Saber like a moron you get Wolverine healing factor while if you act sanely, despite out of desperation the healing factor doesn't kick in.

Same deal with the decision to pursue Rider vs. Saber. The result of the fight was the same, that Rider got nuked by Excalibur but for some reason if you don't pursue them you get killed by Ilya the next day, while if you pursue her you only get kidnapped and spared.

Point is that the VN keeps rewarding your/Shirou bad suicidal decisions for no goddamn reason and you/Shirou gets away with it through sheer power of plotarmor, rather than your/Shirou's wits.

He didn't cared about his life atm, he wasn't thinking that he would be able to defeat Berserker he just wanted to do something because of the screwed up way he thinks

That decision works to

1)Show Shirou's mentality
2)Foreshadow Avalon, otherwise it'd be an asspull

Confirmed for not reading the VN

Shirou(in Fate) choses to stay home rather than go after Caster, Saber is the one who goes after her and meets Assassin

How is that dumb? It causes Saber to win the fight because she straight up uses Excalibur instead of trying to fight Bellerophon

> If you make a sane decision on not to jump into fights between servants (which they drilled home before with Lancer killing you multiple times if you do) you get a bad end.

Shirou isn't like that

Yes, and he is strong because of it. If you can bring the sort of firepower that can overcome God Hand, A-rank END, and Battle Continuation A well enough to kill with one shot, that means you're strong. Especially so if you can do it at least six times in a row.

>>
>>145201035
There are two different characters with pretty much the same design, Lancer Arturia (the one you summon from the gacha) and the Lion King (the one you fight in the story).

Lancer Arturia is basically just Saber Arturia, but she preferred her spear to her sword and scabbard in life. This had a couple effects on her, most notably it didn't slow down her aging, so she got tits. The less obvious effect was that it made her a little bit more detached from her humanity, sort of like a Divine Spirit, but given the relative shortness of her life it's hardly noticeable. As for her appearance, she probably started wearing full armor to hide her MASSIVE TITS during life.

The Lion King's life was completely identical to Saber Arturia's until immediately after Camlann, because Bedivere couldn't bring himself to return Excalibur to the lake. Arturia couldn't truly die until Excalibur was returned, so she endured in some form, and kept her spear. Similar to Lancer Arturia, relying more on her spear after losing her sword and scabbard resulted in her aging to some extent and her perspective becoming more akin to a Divine Spirit's, but since she's been alive for many centuries the effects on her psyche are MUCH more apparent.

>the point
Again, you are fucking trying to conflate the two. You can insert into any character, but especially the character that you can rationalize and understand why you would insert into them (because the VN explains to you why the character thinks in that manner).
So in that manner, you do not need a blank character with no "strong" personality traits, which is also completely subjective and prone to interpretation.

You are inserting, but are in great denial. This is why you can't understand this.
Maximus from Gladiator, for example, is actually an insert character mainly designed for Americans. His down to earth, hard work, loyal and wanting to just till his farms but would sacrifice it for the better of the country ideal is something that is quite attractive to many in Middle America, and he is designed as such.

He is certainly a strong character that many inserted to in that movie and contributed to the box office success of the entire thing in America.

In that way, you can admire some of your VN protagonist's ideals as they are designed specifically for that purpose and made to be inserted into. That's why the VN is written the way it is.

FSN would not be popular if Saber, Rin, and Sakura ended up with other men at the endings of those routes, and you know that to be true at the back of your mind. Because all you'll think of is you got NTR'd by some random background character.

You are in denial as an inserter. That's all.

>You can self insert in any character

Of course you can, but doing so is retarded and dumb

There are specific characters that are meant to be a reader's self insert and there are those that aren't meant to do that

In the same way understanding one character and getting invested in his story does not mean you are self inserting on him and consequently living vicariously through him

>You are inserting, but are in great denial
>B-because I say so!

This is getting old

>Muh examples

Get to the point

> In that way, you can admire some of your VN protagonist's ideals as they are designed specifically for that purpose and made to be inserted into. That's why the VN is written the way it is.


Shirou's ideals are strange and nonsensical why would I admire them? I admire him for sticking up to his own situation though, I like his development as a character and I enjoy his progression in the story


>

And? Reader getting invested in MC and rooting for him =\= self inserting amd living vicariously through MC like a no life retard

What you are doing is stupid, só ine can't like Shirou without self inserting? The only evidence that one isn't a self insert shitter is if they hate Shirou for some reason? You make no sense, senpai

And yet the most famous heroine is Saber, the only one who did not date/marry another man (Rin) and wasn't fucked by others in-game (Sakura).
>>145205977
The distance between identifying and insertion is that of paper.
The only test for that comes down to the NTR test. If you adamantly believe that all Sabers/Arturia should love your MC, then you are inserting. If not, you don't.
But it doesn't change the fact that FSN/FHA were both designed as otaku fapworks to have otaku insert into the MC to conquer (fap) heroines. If Saber ended up having sex with another man in or at the ending of Fate route, it literally would not be as popular as it is today.
Because it was designed for otaku insertion.

It's dumb in that Saber and everyone said you shouldn't go inbetween servant fights. The fights ends up exactly the same, with Saber nuking Rider through Excalibur. However for no reason the game decides that Illya will kill you the next day if you don't follow Saber, but you only get kidnapped if you follow Saber.

As >>145204320 said, you're the one that self insert so hard you can't see how Shirou is an absolute shit character that cannot carry a show if the medium is not VN. VN gave slight illusion of choice and easier to self insert into, but even then a lot of anons were "fuck this guy is written as Mary sue moron."

Again I think the word "self-insert" might be too harsh. The strong personality and very specific goal makes him relatable. Add to this his generic design and background. Before you sperg out hurrr durr orphanage, survivors guilt, etc, read VN you filthy secondaries, Shirou had the most normal background compared to any other characters in the show, and hence he is designed to be the audience surrogate to carry the VN.

Not him, but Guts. He had his background, upbringing, and physically looks different than most of the target audience.

That is the meaning of self-insert.

Secondly, admitting that every character can be an "insert" is the same thing as admitting it's a meaningless distinction. If every character is an insert by your definition, it makes no sense to harp on one in particular. It's not a distinction if it applies to everyone.

Becuase that makes the audience SYMPATHISE with them, not insert.

You need to realise that there is an entire gradient of things between not even being aware of the character or hating them and putting yourself in the story. The vast majority of the time stories aim for sympathy, or relatability. Not self insertion.

It's almost as if that's a much easier way to illicit the typical Japanese reader to sympathise with the character who has been in situations similar to themselves in your urban fantasy story.

Again, sympathy is not self insert. Relatability is not self insert, Rooting for a character you like, is not self insert.
>>
>>145207542
That has nothing to do with a highschooler from Japan. Obviously it's much, MUCH harder to insert as a medieval knight that was picked up by a mercenary band.

>>145207550
That has literally nothing to do with what I said. I am only pointing out that having a tragic backstory is not unique nor does it prevent insertion. Because most insert characters will have something like that to make them "special" in the story.

Remember that most people in the world live fucking boring lives. It is through fiction that they can escape this. And it is through insertion that they can make the experiences of the insert character their own.

Which is why FSN as an eroge VN was very powerful in insertion. It literally gave you an excuse to "understand" why your MC was doing the dumbest shit and why you are more likely to give it a pass, especially since "you're" going to fuck Saber for it.

Just on surface value, Shirou is far closer to the average audience, being average highschool twink Japanese male with no distinguishing physical feature than Rin.

For readers who care about "them" having sex with Saber, Rin and Sakura, it does matter if it's canon or not canon.

When RN was released, there was this whole brouhaha at /tm/ about how canon the sex was in the original, and how many people just said "well the not having sex is not canon because the original is canon" shit.

Those guys are inserters galore. They really care about the virginity of their insert, their avatar in Nasuverse.

There are levels of pointlessness. Arguing about whether [X] is a good character or a slut or if the author is a hack would at least be an argument to some end, even if no one outside this thread cared. That's the sort of thing this board is for.
In this argument, by your own admission, the conclusion you're trying to get people to accept is completely pointless. If the categorization has no effect on the quality of the character, then there's no point in worrying about it. There's no reason for anyone to give a shit. It's just a label.
And not even that, but the bulk of the argument itself is simply semantics, because you have to get everyone to understand your particular definition of "insert character", since no one else on this god damn board uses the phrase the same way you do. So we're not even learning anything useful. It's like you're trying to explain a made-up language no one uses.
Thus, it's pointless twice.

Your logic is applicable to all fiction. It's nonsensical. People like to hear stories about people that they can relate to, that doesn't mean they insert, it means that the story is more profound when they feel like it's happened to someone like them, in a similar situation, that is not self inserting. That's like saying you're self inserting when your friend has a shitty time and you feel sad for them, that's empathy.

We empathise with characters we can understand, Shirou is meant to be understandable at first then we see that he's fucked up, we're supposed to see his noble ideal then feel sad for him that he's so fucked up, and root for him, in fate we don't really see it, in UBW we see him take it and own that fucked up ness and run with it, in HF we see him drop it to go get the girl. We're supposed to sympathise with him, feel sorry for him, and want him to succeed. Of course we are, it's still genre fiction.

>Even Naruto does.
And is more or less an everyday kid given a few noble traits in the main story.
Shirou is mentally crippled on the inside if you're paying attention.
>>145207561
Shirou's entire life was destroyed in a fire, had his mind broken walking away from countless people dying to save his own skin, mentally killed himself to die easier, was the only one saved in the end giving him mass survivor's guilt. His motivation comes from seeing how happy his father was saving him, and replicated the behaviour because it was the only way he could feel happy without any guilt.
Sure, Guts is farther away, but Shirou's far from "average".

>>145207881
See this? THIS is poster here is a Lelouch insert. To me, I don't care if Lelouch is alive or dead, I think he died to be honest, and if C.C. is happily living with a random guy having sex with him instead.

Why? Because I did not insert into Lelouch, though I appreciate his contributions and achievements in the anime.

>>145207932
>Sure, Guts is farther away, but Shirou's far from "average".

Yeah that's what I said and you agree. They're all on the gradient of relatability. and Shirou is closer on self insert scale than Guts. This alone is undeniable. This is why I think the label "self-insert" might be too harsh, it's more like Shirou is a watered down character designed to appeal to the target audience by giving him a lot of the same physical traits and standings in school.

>>145208002
>more normal and relatable

Just being an average dude (which most people are, average dude) of course Shirou is more relatable. And I don't even live in Japan, or live in Japanese style mansion.

I can't relate to Rin because I'm not a perfect A student highschool sweetheart from a rich family and I don't have a vagina.

I bet most non-otome VN readers who are the target audience of FSN also relate more to Shirou than Rin.
>>
>>145208123
Yes shirou is designed to be more relatable and sympathetic to the people who read the story... so what?

that doesn't make him a blank slate which you can insert yourself into. this is a classic case of 4chan thinking in black and white terms. Relatability is a gradient and means different things to different people, someone who had a wife cheat on them would feel a lot more for a character who goes through that than someone who hasn't. That doesn't mean that person is self inserting.

Yes, it's inserting especially when everything in the anime showed he was more a workaholic than a guy trying to get laid.
That's just you inserting as Lelouch wanting him to get laid, so that "you" get laid with CC.
>>
>>145208190
No, you're vision is so fucking twisted that you think that any degree of relatability is there for insertion. Most people do not insert themselves into stories, they feel for the characters.

Not being a blank slate =/= cannot insert into =/= not designed for insertion

FSN WAS designed for otaku fapbait and otaku insertion. It literally was. It functioned similar to a lot of other eroge, to the point that heroines have "affection points" that determined how progress in a route goes or if Saber ends up killing you in a bad ending.
>>
>>145208306
After the end of the show, he doesn't HAVE to work on anything anymore. That's the point. He's free from the obligations he placed on himself and the schemes he was trapped in, so he can go around doing whatever he wants. He can have simple human pleasures like sex.
>>
>>145208389
>Not being a blank slate =/= cannot insert into =/= not designed for insertion

No, this is fundamentally wrong. You cannot insert into something that has a set personality, if you -are- inserting into that then you are overwriting it and ignoring it in favour of applying your own character traits. If you were to argue shirou is X when there is no evidence in the VN, but that is how you are, then you are self inserting into shirou, however it is contradictory. A blank slate you can say they're X and there is no contradiction possible, that's the whole damn point.

You choosing C.C. to have sex with him is more of your insertion into him though. Why does C.C. have to shackle herself down with a virgin, who she literally looked down on for being a virgin in season 1?
Yes, because C.C. is "your" reward.

Yes you fucking can. All you need is a few similarities no matter how superficial. Shirou's character design pander way too hard for Otaku escapism. They all dream to be a hero in a story, got roped into magical adventures with a harem set, fuck the waifus and beat the bad guy at the end.

No, that is only applicable to self-inserts/author inserts, not to reader inserts.
You can insert into any character with "strong:highly subjective term" personalities.

Especially characters whose entire personality/decision making process is explained in the visual novel.

This is why when LN/VN protagonists are placed into anime and the anime staff decides to not "share" these thoughts with the watching audiences, quite a lot of times, people are "frustrated" by the MCs.

It's actually far easier to insert in an LN/VN work because you can more easily understand the inner workings of whoever MC you're working with.

This is just fanfiction made by inserters who want their insert MC to be alive to have sex with CC. There is no canon revelation for this to be the case.

You're the one who thinks in black and white. First of all we're not the same anon, and as I said it's all on a gradient scale. Shirou is more otaku self insert pandering by design than Guts. If you add on physical similarities, starting point (avg highschooler dragged to magical adventure), social standings, etc then a character will turn into self insert.

FSN started as an eroge, and the whole point of eroge is to make you self insert to fuck the heroines.
>>

Nice job ignoring 80% of my post.

>>
>>145208805
Eh, no. Occam's Razor has it that people are just inserting. Things like these are simply almost always for self-pleasure. There is no greater pleasure for an inserter than to have their insert MC get laid with the most beautiful woman in Code Geass (C.C.) as their reward.

>>145208712
Not all sympathy is insertion.
But again, the only real test with that is the "NTR" test. If you have no problem with your favorite heroine of "your" prospective MC getting it on with another guy, then you personally have no inserted.

But most people insert and you will get them angry in spades and calling you names for thinking so. This is how you know they've inserted themselves too hard.
>>
>>145208854
>FSN started as an eroge

But it didn't.

Nasu first began writing 'Fate/stay night in college and had not intended it to be a game. Initially, Nasu only wrote what would become the game's Fate storyline however the game went on to have three storylines, the Fate scenario being one of them.

In his early drafts, Saber was a man, and the protagonist was a girl with glasses. This early draft was embodied in the short original video animation (OVA) Fate/Prototype, which was released with the final volume of the Carnival Phantasm OVA series. Nasu set aside the project and went on to found TYPE-MOON with artist Takashi Takeuchi.

After the success of their first visual novel Tsukihime in 2000 TYPE-MOON transitioned from a dojin soft organization to a commercial organization. Nasu and Takeuchi decided to turn the old Fate story into a visual novel as TYPE-MOON's first commercial product. In the beginning, Nasu was worried that because the main character was a girl, the story might not work as a bishōjo game. It was artist Takeuchi who suggested switching the genders of the protagonist and Saber to fit the game market.

You don't know the basic history of the development of the game but you keep talking about it?

>>
>>145208857
Thank you insertguy.

>>145208990
Yes, it did. The final product that Nasu came out with was a fucking eroge designed for otaku.

It doesn't matter what draft you're fucking talking about, because that's not what started the entire FSN craze.

The thing that started the entire Fate franchise was an eroge designed for otaku consumption. Everything else before or after has no bearing on that. There's a fucking reason why Saber turned into a blonde girl from King Arthur.
>>
>>145208949

I have characters I dislike and if the author gives them nice things, shockingly enough, I'm not fond of it, I might like the story overall, but I'm still like "fuck that shit mayne" even if I can accept it's for the betterment of the story overall from a critical perspective.

>>145208949
>But again, the only real test with that is the "NTR" test

This is a great test. Imagine the butthurt overall if Saber got Griffith'd by Gil at the end of Fate Route. The amount of butthurt and tears would eclipse the amount of butthurt from Berserk fans when Guts get Griffith'd. No serious anon can deny that.

What it means is that most anon self insert as Shirou and got waifubaited by Saber, while in Berserk case they only sympathize with Guts' pain but they don't take it personally

But that's not what you said. and yes, the reason is in that wall of text "we're unsure if this can sell"

and no, it has everything to do with it, especially as you said "it started as an eroge" when no, it started as a novel, not even a game, then became a game. Nasu even thought about making it a wargame of some kind. And yes, I'm more than happy to admit that there were some concessions to make it more appealing to the market, that doesn't mean that they made self inserts.

True. But I was more thinking about supplemental materials or other games where Saber gets it down with Gudao (male Rin) and professes her love for him or do it with Merlin or with Diarmuid or even with Gilgamesh in a consensual manner.

If Nasu, for some reason, ever made an AU where mellow Gilgamesh and Arturia fell in love with each other, the inserters would be going insane at it.

Holy shit, what the fuck. Occam's Razor states that the explanation which requires the fewest assumptions is more likely to be true. Using it in a debate like this is inane, because which explanation requires fewer assumptions depends on the point of view you're starting out from. For sociopaths like you, the idea that people might feel empathy for those who are not at some level themselves is a foreign concept, so that counts as an assumption.
And even ignoring that, you can't just use fucking Occam's Razor as an excuse to totally disregard your opponent's claim because "yes well that seems unlikely". You're being the epitome of that guy who does everything he can to wriggle out of every counterargument thrown at him so you can just keep repeating your basic talking points. Fuck off with this bullshit.
>>
>>145209585
>empathy does not mean you are not inserting.

Actually it does, literally by definition empathising with someone requires you to accept them, not yourself, and self insertion requires you to be you. If a character is okay with something and you're angry for them, maybe you're inserting. If something happens that a character is okay with but you aren't, you aren't necessarily inserting.

And you -can- insert onto anything, that doesn't mean it was made for it, if you can contradict yourself with the text then it's pretty clear it was not made for self insertion. And go on, please do tell me who you are supposed to insert as in ever 17.

Being able to see internal monologues is a BARRIER to self insertion because it gives more ways to contradict your transposed personality. Not an aid, it's an aid to EMPATHY.

I don't write insert fanfiction.

I don't hate other men in the VN.

Hell, there are probably more male FSN characters that I like than female.

Shirou's appeal as a character is the fact that he's an underdog who has to struggle to face his challenges.

You are projecting so fucking hard.

>>145209735
You not inserting doesn't mean a character is not made for insertion. Especially the main character of an eroge visual novel designed for otaku to buy, otaku, you know, the largest buyer base in Japan that eats up insert works by the metric ton every year because their life is shit and they want to escape by fucking blonde women but they can't in real life

Guts example guy here, not that but theres difference between empathy and self insert. I empathize with Guts, but he's not self insert bait like Shirou. There's sliding scale of empathy and Shirou is too much pandering

What definition do you go by where eroge are inherently intended to be for self insertion? What dictionary did you find that in?

Shirou in particular is pretty hard to self insert into, since his opinions tend to go wildly against common sense.

>>145209915
I can't self insert as Shirou.

I respect a lot of his thoughts and opinions, but I doubt I would ever go through with them.

Look at the debates people have. Was Shirou right in UBW? HF? He has a multitude of differing paths, and not everyone agrees with them.
>>
>>145209988

Well you would, because at least this King Edgelord decides to wear things that aren't very edgy, fooling you until he opens his mouth.
>>
>>145209960
>opinions tend to go wildly against common sense.
But they are explained in the VN, which allows the reader to rationalize and give such opinions a pass. This again, is why VNs (and LNs) are very easy to insert into, but when they get anime versions that does not include much exposition by the MCs, people can't insert as much.

Which is why you get insertfaggots that go ballistic when they say "YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND MUH MC!"

Gawain killed him :^)

>Gawain: "Percival the Second Knight, Kay the Third, Gaheris the Sixth, Palamedes the Ninth, King Pellinore the Supervisor, and Bors who was to be the next Eleventh. When they were summoned by the king, they showed their loyalty by rebelling against the Lion King. They were magnificent knights, for they chose to fight the king, for the king's honour. We killed them all."

You can insert into morons that try to get themselves killed in their stories. Just because you wouldn't do them doesn't mean you won't insert into them.
>>
>>145210059
So understanding a character is a cue for self-insertion?

Does a person need to be a plain enigma for them to get a pass for you? Do their actions have to be completely nonsensical? Act like an alien?

Your opinions are laughable. I would never run into a fight between Herakles, and King Arthur, but I understand why Shirou would.

But I'd get my ass out of there.

>>145210059

You mean can't understand his reasoning at all? That has nothing to do with the inability to self-insert. Understanding =/= self-insert.

What makes Fate Zero better than FSN is the atsmosphere, you can feel the danger , the drama, the mindfuck.The music does a better job to add to the atmosphere than FSN.The characters interactions are so superior to the character interactions of FSN that it hurts,and the slice of life segments and Shirou's Pov are fucking annoying.FSN plot is too forced at times, some times they lead to plot holes,weak plot or unexplainable developments.Fate Zero’s plot flows better, it's simple and credible.
>>
>>145210160
Understanding a character gives you an excuse to give a pass to even the most dumb shit that's ever committed. It's simply one of the factors that allows insertion en masse.

Judging by this thread, a lot of you fucks insert into FSN.

You heard it here folks. If you have a grasp for why a character does things, you're self-inserting.

Only when you leave a story feeling completely confused and unsatisfied, will you ever be free of the taint of being a dirty self-inserter.

>He ruled over a group that invented a bunch of shit

Yeah, like... um... no there were basically no inventions around gilgamehses reign, before and after sure, but any period he could have ruled was massively stagnant and everything they did was basic as shit.

They did basic geometry, we do algebraic geometry. We invent millions of times more things than the Sumerians did year on year.

Lancer Artoria is Artoria who returned the spear to the heavens after Camlann, becoming partially a divine spirit, a heroic spirit of the heavens

The Lion King is Artoria who got cursed by the spear when Bedeviere fucked up and didn't return Excalibur to the lake, who became unable to die and is now an incarnation of the Wild Hunt, the Goddess of Rhongomyniad.
