User blog comment:Senjumaru Shutara/Stupid is as the Main Character Does/@comment-26326346-20150430065030

I'm glad someone covered this. It gets on my nerves when I read through a bunch of Creepypasta and end up with stupid main characters in all (or most) of them. I can understand them making a couple of poor or stupid decisions, because everyone slips up from time to time. It just really takes me out of it when the main character has some sort of advance warning about something and then ignores it or puts it off.

It also annoys me (unless the main character has some personal stake in it) when a bunch of people go missing in a place and the main character decides to check out the place; did you stop and think that those people may have went missing for a reason? Flaws are great and I'll take them over someone that is overpowered, but don't make them a moron (unless it is intentional to the story).

Great blog post, Senjumaru!
