《Overdone Book Titles》Saved By Him / Her
Advertisement
This....
This title...
Gives me PHYSICAL PAIN TO READ.
And it also makes me want to slam my head into a concrete wall.
Soooo main character, supposedly a damsel in distress till their saviour comes and rescuses them, no more to it. The main storyline right there.
Things main character could be saved from:
Abusive parents
Near death experience
....
....
....
....
....
....
Pretty much it.
But then suddenly after rescue, it's like they don't have any mental problems, apart from maybe one crying session, and they're suddenly...
SOMEHOW SOME MEGA AMAZING BADASS NOTHING CAN GET IN THEIR WAY BITCH THEY ARE A WARRIOR!!!!!!!
*coughcough* ha no.
Being removed from something like an abusive household, they are going to have to have a lot of recovery time, they aren't instantly going to become the next marvel superhero...
Sometimes they do have mental health issues in their stories, but sometimes people don't portray it right and end up milking it somehow.
They may have PTSD, for example, and sometimes in stories this can be portrayed correctly.
BUT WHAT IS NOT CORRECT ABOUT IT IS THAT ITS MAGICALLY CURED AFTER THEIR 'SAVOUR' IS LIKE I LOVE YOU IM HERE FOR YOU.
NOT.
HOW.
IT.
WORKS.
And boom, PTSD? Mental scars? Depression? Self hatred? Frustration? Maybe even wanting to die, because they can't cope anymore?
Gone, nope, never happened.
If your going to write about mental health issues, it's going to have to be at least for the most part, a serious book.
And it frustrates me SO MUCH.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Somebody stop me before I murder someone.

Mary Susan Oceanrunner and the Brutus Saint's Academy
Join Mary Susan Oceanrunner on her quest to do... erm... something really important for the world... probably... Ahem. Long gone are the days when every hero could do whatever they wanted - now, we are civilised. We have government. Law. And proper forms. Lots of proper forms. (Final episode 25/07/2022. Also - beta readers far into the book rate the 'gore' degree as below 2/10, so the warning is a bit much) Mary Susan Oceanrunner is a poor girl from the orphanage, who like many others before, has to fulfil her destiny. The prophecy had been told, and she is the only one who can make things right. Erm... probably. Anyway, she can't just go and kill monsters like in the middle ages. First, she must apply for the appropriate permissions, fill the forms, learn about the proper loot taxations... Hey, no one said adventuring would be easy, right? Disclaimers: No claim made by any character by the book should be treated as the author's or anyone else's opinion on any subject. Most likely, it was just the funniest thing the Author could think of at the time of writing. This book contains many references to other works. It will probably be best enjoyed by individuals familiar with at least some of the following: 1) Computer games2) Fantasy in general3) Science fiction4) Tabletop RPGs5) Conspiracy theories6) Corporation work life7) Long forgotten prophecies uttered millennia ago in almost as forgotten languages under a starless night three dusks before the great convergence8) Filling any government-mandated form9) School10) EnglishMy ultimate goal is to make as many people experience something akin to joy while reading (think ~a bit louder exhale through the nose). It doesn't mean every scene will be funny or joyful because that's not how this stuff works. I can neither confirm nor deny having any other hidden agenda outside of that.
