I'm the same. I've read and identified with a few books with characters who are like me, certainly, but I read to experience another sort of life/journey/experiences. I already know what I'm like, haha.

[(Anonymous)]

Same. I already know me, I'm boring. I want to read about people not like me.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't mind if they share some similarities to myself, but I wouldn't want to read about a character who's too much like me. I read for escapism, so not interested in reading about a fictional character's struggles with depression and familial dysfunction, that doesn't sound fun at all.

[(Anonymous)]

I've never been interested in reading about people like me, I'm a regular person in the real world who went to school and then grew up to have a job and a fairly standard but not exciting life. I don't want to read/watch that, I want to engage with stories about people with different experiences or going on adventures I never will. Because that's fun.

I like my life, but I would't want to read about it. xD

[feotakahari]

I don’t feel this one myself.

I guess I don’t see myself from my own perspective. To me, “like Feo” is “someone a cis person would say is like Feo.” And from that perspective, a trans man is like Feo, a trans woman is like Feo, a genderfluid person is like Feo . . . So there are a lot of different kinds of people who are “like me,” and when a story doesn’t have any of them, I end up thinking “Where is everyone?”

[(Anonymous)]

I agree with the sentiment and feel the same most of the time (although occasionally I'm in the mood to read about someone "like me" and it would suck if I never had the option) but people who make it a point to say this are usually humblebragging and trying to make people who do prefer characters "like them" out to be insecure babies, so...

[(Anonymous)]

I admit I kinda wish I had this problem. The only books with characters even remotely like me are likely written in Dutch and hard to obtain outside the EU. US publishers aren't exactly presented with big market for books with/about Indo characters.

[(Anonymous)]

I like reading about different viewpoints and experiences, but I also like reading books where the characters share some similarities with me. Not everything, but one or two things is nice. The only one I have a hard time with is when characters are ace like me. I know it’s a me problem, but I haven’t read a single book featuring an ace character that clicked with me.

[(Anonymous)]

I still want to find "me" in a story, there have been a lot stories and characters I can relate to, but not quite "me".

Although, I do also hope/am grateful for media younger me would have loved. A little disappointed it didn't exist when I was the target age for just that sort of thing, but rather late than never for all the young kids who are going through what I did when I was their age seeing themselves represented.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

I just finished this cdrama and while I did enjoy a lot of it, it wasn't as satisfying of a prequel to Blood of Youth as I'd hoped for. I think there was just so much plot they needed to cram into it to get the story to a logical place where you'd see the roots of BoY, and the show didn't quite pull it off. IMO, too much romance filler, the male leads spent way too much time apart when the whole point was best-friends-turned-enemies, and it lacked the whole bromance/friendship vibe that made BoY so much fun.

I love Li Changsheng, though. Both versions. And seeing Prince Langya/Xiao Ruofeng as a more prominent character was cool, too.

[(Anonymous)]

Considering I dropped BoY because of the craptastic shitromance, I'm glad I never started with this one.

yeah..... after a point even in TNG i felt like the writers room went off the deep end and cared more about churning to get their bucks than about the (foundation of) optimistic vibes of the show. DS9 turning into the drama of the Dominion War was basically like a death knell for the series as a whole imo

Haha, same. Ardal O'Hanlon is such a lovable bunny, I wish he would've had a longer stint in Death in Paradise because he was my favorite detective in that series.

I haven't watched it myself but I just watched Amanda the Jedi's breakdown of s4 and yikes.... The writers certainly made some choices when it came to the characters.

It makes me glad I decided to quit with season 2.

I stopped watching after season 2, but I have friends who kept up and... I am so, so sorry. There's bad, and then there's whatever the hell was going on there.

would you rather

[(Anonymous)]

Looking back: when you were a teen, would you rather have had a beat up old car you could could cruise around in with your friends and not worry about putting a few more dings and dents in it if you misjudged a corner or parked in an unwise place; or would you rather have had that cool sporty new car which everyone envies in the parking lot?

When I was a teen, I so wanted that BMW 3 convertible. Looking back though, I think I had better fun in the old Jetta. Even if I did smack it into a couple of walls.
