The Terrible Protagonist series explores reasons why regular humans (aka myself) would not fair well in the world of fiction.
Reasons Why I’d Be A Terrible Protagonist:
Reason #7: Being the Love Interest (Without Knowing You’re the Love Interest)
Between attending school or work, taking a nap, eating food, and saving the damn world…where could I have possibly had time to develop this “ship” you speak of?
The stairs to the final boss is more scary than the fight itself.
That feeling when you’re expected to defeat the villain while touting raccoon eye bags.
If Google Maps does not exist in a fantasy setting, well…goodbye, I’m lost.
Reason #14: Pulling the Trigger
If you slightly turn your gun, it shifts from regular shot to a kill shot. But could you do it?
You’re asking me to take a bullet for you with such a stoic face…you’re–oh, you’re serious?
Reason #21: Overthinking Dialogue
The masses look to me for an inspirational speech before the final battle…and all I’ve got is “Uhhhh….”
thoughts and afterthoughts.
