Reader is so obviously NOT the actual reader so...how??

Yeah, that's the part that gets to me the most about that type of fic. Either the "reader" character has to be left so vague to where anyone reading can see themselves in that role, which makes it harder for me to really engage with the story and the interaction between the "reader" and the character in question (I don't exactly need to read a fic to fantasize about myself getting all romantic with a character I'm crushing on, after all), or they've got just enough detail for the "reader" to where it's harder for some readers to enjoy it, since they don't quite fit the description of the "reader" character.

And if the writer's already creating some descriptive qualities for this reader character, why not just go all the way and make a proper OC? I know that OC fic gets dumped on a lot, too, which can be equally as sucky and frustrating for a writer, but still, at least you're practicing how to create your own characters, which is a worthwhile skill.

Like you and others have said here, if people want to write and read that kind of fic, fine, more power to 'em. I can just scroll past it. But I do understand and sympathize with the issues people have with that kind of fic, yeah.
