This annoys me

I have to get this off my chest. Does anyone else find it annoying how mc's just think everything they know is right? Like so what u "read" the book, or reincarnated. Why do you think you know better than the person their own feelings.

"I don't hate you"

"No, your just confused. Blah blah blah"


Sis you read a book at 7 and are only 16. And completely changed how you act and behave. Of course things changes, like I would hate telling someone how I feel and being told I'm delusional about my own emotions because it makes them more comfortable for me to act like cooker cutter character in a book.

    Yessss. Finally someone brought it up, like every story with this reincarnated trope they're always like that. Have the Mc never heard of butterfly effect??? If you change the story of how it's suppost to be things are going to change, even if it's the smallest thing you change about yourself or something that revolve around story in some way it's going to bring huge changes.

    Exactly!! Like they act like because they are from the "modern" era they know everything when they literally say they were an average joe. Like why do you think because you read the book you jniw everything? Often the finaly version of a book has a bunch of edits and removed scenes writers cut out a lot from books while writing what makes you think you're in the final version, and what if its a fanfiction...like they are either uncomfortable with out feeling superior or just that empty headed

    Yea! Like I can kinda see the Mc pov but like can't you use that so called smart side of you brain that you've been using to make sure you don't die, like use that side eto be like "well I have chaged alot of the og story so maybe that made them change. Maybe Ei really should think that they actually care about me" and not that they just wait until they turn "back to normal". Like you're PISSING ME OFF.

    no tbh it’s easier to find it not annoying when you realize people in a story don’t know they’re characters. as a reader or watcher, it’s not hard to judge fictional beings for their choices because we have outside perspective and see everyone’s thoughts/intentions most the time. however they don’t have the external knowledge we do, and the only thing phil can do is rely on her short 10 years of consciousness

    look at it from the perspective of how she’s literally only 16 years old and was living in a state of perpetual anxiety/people pleasing for most of it. young teens are supposed to be slow and don’t have the same awareness as adults either so her decisions and way of thinking make complete sense

    But they are the ones who state they are from a modern society. A society that has introduced the idea of time travel as well as the idea that the flap of butterfly wings can lead to a tornado somewhere else. So it would be normal to assume your choices would change things. Its only arrogance and the hope you still can hold god like knowledge that leads the character to insist the emotional state of "characters" can shift. Also note they insist this is a book world but if there is not force outside that enforces that trope idea of it beinf a "false" world then u should assume you are in another world which means once you enter it the variables can change as well as how people feel. Like you said they are in fact similar to us believing they have al the information because they read it.

    Which means they take more comfort in why they think "should" happen rather than what could happen. So they fall into arrogance.

    you are holding onto the notion that this young teen girl has experienced a huge philosophical breakthrough about her situation when she’s still mildly insecure and unaware of the reality of the circumstances. again taking away what we know about these stories, in her eyes she’s nothing to the people in her lives but a replacement / doesn’t hold that much importance to these people. which is why she’s always so skeptical about her own assumptions. it’s not because of arrogance or the belief they have god like knowledge… she genuinely doesn’t think she’s significant to these people and is solely relying on an old prophecy to stay alive since that’s all she knows

    i think you are setting too high of a standard on someone because you’ve read multiple isekai stories, where the fl is usually someone older and way more experienced in life where this opinion would make more sense. but im not even here to argue with you i wanted to explain why it’s not annoying to me and maybe my train of thought could help. so i don’t agree with your opinion and don’t think further explanation would be helpful if we don’t see eye to eye from this point

    Sure. They might have changed. But the emotional abuse is still there. Will you trust him if you've been neglected by him all your childhood? No. I wouldn't. Because I lived that life. Not to her extreme, but yes, neglect messes up your mind. If my neglectful father says he cares about me, I wouldn't believe it. It's not about the book, it's him who's the problem
