the game's MC is literally me tho. Simply put, you're wrong.
Do explain how in a game where there is no character customization at all other than name, and in which the MC has an extremely plot-relevant backstory, how the hell can the MC be "literally you"? Yes, you can choose what he does at certain times, and you can even name him after yourself if you want to, but is your mother's name Syla?

The MC even has personality regardless of your choices, there are certain things you can't even influence, its not like they only talk when you choose something to say. Calling the MC here a self-insert is like calling Shirou Emiya a self-insert.

That would be a stretch man the Mc of superhuman can be proper hero to full evil guy you can't be like that level with shiro not to mention WW tried to make mc as much of blank slate as he could with a visual novel Screenshot_20240325-200924.png

Even ww said the protagonist is me.... I don't know why some people are confused
"Blank slate" in so far as we shape his development through the course of the story.
"You/Us" as in the MC is the means by which we get to immerse ourselves into the world and story, not that the protagonist is us.

We can shape him, but we are not him.

My hope in humanity has been slightly restored, and for that I thank you.

I wonder if people who self insert think that they are the non human MC (the one that gets all the girls/has a comically big dick) or if they are the MC before the infection who is short, a virgin, and has a small dick in universe? (if MC friend being bullied is anything to go by) :BootyTime:

People legit take the self insert thing too far. You would rather waste your life away living a fantasy version of yourself instead of accepting who you are and improving yourself.

Wake up! You're not the main character irl. You don't have a harem or even a girlfriend if you're playing this game and you're probably addicted to porn.
People like you are the worst kind of community member. Why do you care if people self-insert? That is their preference. It doesn't hurt you.

Dude is shitting on the dev because his imaginary girlfriend got hurt on a super violent game. Its directly hurting the game i like. Are you fucking blind or are you upset because you self insert too?

While I do find the act of "self insertion" incredibly sad, I won't ever bring it up unless someone tries to use it enforce their own will on how something should be.
