>8man
>Likeable

Pick one

>>159514822
He's one of my most liked for sure.

>>159514822
Fuck off man.

What's unlikeable about 8man?

You're just in denial that he's like the average 4channer.

>>159514855
but that's because you're 14 and don't know any better.

>>159513997
What was the name of the only harem MC that seriously went for the harem ending?

>>159515008
Mangaka's Assistant-san?

>>159514886
Other than him being a blatant self-insert for every anti-social weeb who think they're wittier than they are? He's the personification of /a/, it's awful.

This literal fucker.

>>159513134
But this is the most likable protagonist.

>>159515324
That's why he's likable.

>>159515788
What part of that is likable?

>>159515324
>Other than him being a blatant self-insert for every anti-social weeb who think they're wittier than they are?
But we're self aware of the fact so that makes it okay.

>>159516046
There is no "we".

Eh nandatte?

>>159515947
being relatable to a character makes you think they're good

>>159513134
>ITT: people thinking that a protagonists are supposed to be perfect
If he was he would be a side character. Having a perfect main character is a clear sign of a Gary Stu.

>>159516107
the "we" doesn't have to include you anon

>>159516135
I don't expect my MC to be perfect, I expect him to be entertaining, or at the minimum not infuriating.
Dickless here is neither of those things.

>>159516120
speak for yourself

everything this day seems self-insert.

>>159516211
>valid criticism blown off as a buzzword
kill yourself

>>159516211
It's because you can self insert the self insert buzzoword into everything.

>>159513134
Fuck off, Hayama.

>>159516211
it kinda is, if you keep in mind it swallowed the meanings of several others like power fantasy etc
you can call anything self-insert these days

>>159513134
The dickless faggot from Haganai

>>159516189
I don't know about other harem MCs, but the appeal of Hachiman was his internal monologues. It panders to pseudo intellectuals like some posters on /a/ and /r9k/ so it's obviously not for everyone to enjoy.

>>159515444
Fucking this times thousand. Garbage character that ruined an otherwise perfect setting.

>>159514707
>Super Kyousuke not being top tier
shit taste

>>159516487

okay, but what I said isn't uncommon

okay shirou.

>>159516387
8man is handsome and /fit/ and smart despite being an outcast, how can lowtest fags self-insert to a character beyond them, they are either delusional or mislead. he was never implied as a weeb loser like you fags. st

>>159516211
Being a male=self insert
At least thats why the retards on this board think

>>159517197
They haven't seen an Otome show then.

>>159517226
Self insert to the coolest guy

>>159516964
(you)

>>159516964
You're kidding right.
>Something subjective is not valid criticism
Are you really that stupid ?

>>159517197
my problem with 8man is that his personality is a self-insert, not his gender you autist

>>159516964
>8man is handsome and /fit/ and smart despite being an outcast, how can lowtest fags self-insert to a character beyond them,
Not everyone is a 400kg blubber.

>>159517259
>/a/nons
>cool

>>159517439
You would call him self-insert regardless his personality

Only way to solve it is to make him a Hachiwoman

>>159513134
Tomoya Aki is up there.

>>159517565
We already have Tomoko.

>>159517393
just because you're a loser doesn't mean 8man is, drink bleach.
>>159517465
>I'm self-inserting therefore, he's a self-insert character.
okay stickman.

>>159517565
I honestly can't tell if you're baiting me or if you're actually this stupid.

>>159513134
Every single one of them. The fact that they are the protagonist make them shit by default. When will we get anime that doesn't have a protagonist?

>8man unlikable
Hello normalcattle!

>>159517616
Is this Yui posting?

>>159517758
>normalcattle
/r9k/ makes the dankest memes.

>muh self insert
Why is this a bad thing again? My old literature teacher said if you can see yourself in a character, it will be better because you can feel like you're a part of the story.

>>159517616
>just because you're a loser doesn't mean 8man is, drink bleach.
What does this have to do with what I said, I like 8man you fucking moron.
I'm sill gonna call you a braindead retard for thinking criticism is objective.

>>159518022
That's empathy. Not self inserting. Self inserting is only possible in interactive medium like Video games and VNs.

>>159513134

Menma and Jintan were really fucking bad.

How is Anohana regarded as good is beyond me

>>159518022
because he's an insert of the author and 14-yo autists

>>159518022
Self insert tends to be bad because it's rarely a realistic self insert. Just ends up being an invincible bland character for the audience to project itself onto.

>>159513134
>there are shit taste faggots on /a/ right now that think 8man is a bad MC

Honestly, at first, I thought 8man was cool but over time I sorta found him to be pretty meh.Like he's too try hard although I guess that's the point, to portray an edgy teenager which I could relate to back when I was one as well.

Like, his thought processes are really what you'd find a teenager with no friends would thing which makes him a good self-insert for those in that mindset.

He just overthinks way too much about crap although to be fair he is a teenager.

>>159517882

/r9k/ are failed nermins

>>159518112
>How is Anohana regarded as good is beyond me
Drama clouds people's judgement.

>>159515324
If /a/ is so horrid then feel free to fuck off to anywhere else.

>make a chad
>call him a loser/ outcast
>later he becomes a chad anyways
How can people buy this shit is beyond me.

>>159518251
you ever been to a zoo?

>>159518194
Agreed.

>>159518096
You can still Self-insert into a character.

I mean look at all the garbage 8man harem fanfics out there. Or don't as they're all garbage. They just use 8man as their edgy self-insert.

>>159518357
>I just come here to laugh at the losers!

Oh, so you're a stupid newfag who hates anime, I see now. Can't wait until summer is over.

>>159515588
>Mankoto isn't likeable

>>159518066
>too dumb to read between the lines.
as expected of self-insert buzzword spouters. delusional wanna be 8man.

>>159518636
I'm actually here to laugh at you, specifically.

>>159518590
>as their edgy self-insert.
Does he punch all the bitches? If he doesn't it's not edgy in my opinion.

>>159518502
Issei's an odd one for me. Like, I don't hate his character but I do despise the fanbase and the story when he's meant to be a self-insert power fantasy.

Pretty much like how the Monster Musumefags used to shill the MC as a character when he was clearly a blank self-insert.

>>159518740

Issei is a sperg. You would need to be a sperg to tolerate his character.

>>159518194
/r9k/ are reddit.

>>159517604
And she has a 24/7 general
Im guessing people dont hate self-inserts
They just hate male self-inserts

>>159518969
>worse in every way

He'd go from being a relatable cunt with understandable, if largely self inflicted, issues to a generic, boring cunt.

>>159519214
So the double standard is real even in 2D?

>>159519116
Eh. He's at least somewhat entertaining when they go full on ham mode. The fanservice parts are full cringe though.

Him and DDraig make a fun pair.

>>159515306
No, the one with the student council where the best haremMC actually actively goes for all of them (succesfully)

>>159515324
Describe characters without mentioning appearance or occupation is a good test that 8man passes well enough. (Which for me rules out him as a self-insert) Meaning he had a character that was memorable and defined; which in my experience of chinese cartoons is quite rare and actually a bit much to ask. His relatablity should be a character positive even if it's to /a/utists. (Just look at well written characters they are all relatable in some sense as a writing tactic to draw on the emotions of the reader.)
