So they decide to create a pretty good cast. They create Meteora, a deeply thinking girl who tries to understand the world she in and the fact that she was created for someone's entertainment, later realizing she loves the person who created her because he put so much love in to it. A chivalrous lawful good knight from a bloody world who finds herself loathing the people who could create such a world for their own entertainment. A magical girl who is torn away from her happy magical land where she wins as a typical mahou shoujo series goes; she realizes she is from a work made for children and full of happy bullshit and has to deal with a harsher reality.
Then there's this guy. He's the MC. He ruins the shows. How does one create a cast of interesting characters and then a MC that makes you want to skip the parts where he's whining and crying?

Sounds like you can relate to MC then
>>158452524
It was enough to make him an author of webcomic or webnovel stories, so he would still have role as a creator and not a simple spectator.
Sometimes I have the impression that the Japanese have become so obsessed with self-insert that when they do the MC, they deliberately avoid giving him unique traits, since these may well please someone, but also bother others.
If the protagonist expresses a personal opinion or does an action that someone don't like, it automatically becomes garbage unbearable.
Fortunately not everyone is doing this and good MC are still there, but stereotypes like Souta are still quite exploited.

He really isn't that bad.
If the last time I did anything it made my friend kill themselves, I'd be pretty passive as well.
>Matsubara is MC
>plot involves him powering up Red with upgrades
>Red becomes more and more attracted to him
>Red starts getting lewd upgrades
Not gonna lie, I thought he was going to improve, but after 10(TEN) episodes and he's almost exactly the same faggot as he was in the first episode. Fuck Aniplex and fuck this shitshow

What do you expect?

>Red starts getting lewd upgrades
Not in this world.

>>Red starts getting lewd upgrades
does new holes count as lewd upgrades?
>>158453455
he's atleast better that shinji

Have you not seen the path he's being taken down? All these episodes they've been building slowly toward the eventual reveal(to the other characters) of his involvement with Altair and her creator. His struggles, his history, etc leading up this point and his cathartic reveal after seeing the mess he caused. This is entirely the framework for his eventual growth and change. I mean, he's just a teenage kid facing a truly bizarre situation and a guilt heavy past. What did you expect him to do, see these superpowered people fighting and go "Welp, better sack up and starting punching girls."

Ironic how you bash Meteora who is literally the only character with a brain while posting one of the biggest reasons why Gundam IBO was garbage.
>>158452524
"Real" world is not real. "Real" world is a creation of Souta, his fanfiction. In the end Souta will man up, face his fears of real world, will return to real Real world.

Charon is obviously Matsubara's self-insert character. This is going to get messy if Charon ever shows up.
