Me: All fanfiction is valid!
Also me, gripping my bejeweled chalice in rage: Character x reader is a pox upon the land
#HOT TAKE ALERT#i don't wanna yuck people's yum but i hate that shit#it is fundamentally bad writing because y/n is not a character to be developed#i am also just generally in favor of putting at least *some* veneer of creativity on your wank fantasy#cxr is just mask off fapping#and it feels weirdly low effort compared to the alternatives#i don't think you can really improve very much as a writer if you exclusively write character x reader#it's too awkward to sustain a plot so you just get oneshots and pwp#which have their purpose but you don't want those to be the only tools in your toolbox#not to mention that a lot of the characters read as OOC since we can't see their development of their relationship with y/n#on a personal level it doesn't appeal to me because i don't want to fuck the characters#idk i wonder if cxr is the new mary sue self insert but if so it's less creative than develping an OC!#i'd rather see a million obnoxiously perfect mary sue OCs than a single y/n#fanfic is a labor of love and i wanna see that WORK
