Re: Dumb Question for Writers

I really love a certain amount of "character is better than everyone else at thing(s)." It can be taken too far sometimes, of course. Like, please don't make a character the best secret, undiscovered mathematician the world has ever known. But I like when they're very, very good at something and nobody expects them to be. I also don't mind if they're surprisingly good at a lot of things - as long as they're not The Absolute Best At Everything Ever.

This seems to be one of those tropes that's only a Mary Sue thing if the character is female. If the character is male, it's not a Mary Sue thing, they're simply the male lead in a story.
