How is he a mary sue? He is often dense and oblivious, and people in the novel constantly make fun of him.

Are those really bad things in his case? He does run into obstacles. The novel was wank and while a mary sue I dont dislike him as a character.

Aren't a number of old stories (pre-novel times) fanfiction? Inferno is a self-insert fanfic, and Peach Blossom Fan is a fic about two real people, written while they were alive. And I'm not well-read in Greek epics, but don't a number of them reference each other despite having separate authors? Sounds like fanfiction to me.
