A lot of it is done with first-person narration and he's turned the main character into a fuckin idiot
Not, like, a guy who sucks kind of idiot (he was always kind of that), I mean a doesn't know fuck about shit kind of idiot, real gawps and looks awkwardly at the plot happening around him type idiot
And it fucking sucks!!!
@coriander or is the danger not from inside the house
i guess if it's other people it's batman
@coriander see the thing that Twilight fans know is that this trope only works when it’s not the protagonist
@coriander stephenie meyer wrote a Twilight from Edward’s perspective and all the reviewers were like “yeah so I hate him now”
@Lady It's actually a mix of both because he also has this "I'm going to outlive anyone I ever meet so I shouldn't get close to anyone" deal
