Perhaps authors could look at real - life heroes for inspiration. There are countless people in history who have shown great courage in the face of adversity. By modelling the light novel hero on these real - life examples, the hero can be made more believable and less 'wussy'. Also, making the hero more physically capable from the start can help. Instead of being a weakling who magically gets strong later, start them off with at least some basic combat skills or physical strength. This can change the perception of the hero right away.
One solution could be for authors to create more complex backstories for the heroes. For example, give them a tough upbringing or some kind of trauma that they have to overcome. This can add depth and make them seem less 'wussy'.
Yes, there are. 'Overlord' is one example. The main character, Momonga, is not a wussy hero at all. He starts off as a very powerful character and remains so throughout the story. He makes calculated decisions and is not afraid to use force when necessary.
Authors can introduce more complex backstories that involve relationships. Maybe the hero was in a relationship that ended traumatically, and this shapes his or her current behavior and attitude towards new relationships. This would make the character more three - dimensional and break away from the typical virgin hero mold.
Yes, I am. It's so overused. Most light novels seem to follow this trope and it makes the characters less interesting and more predictable.
One way could be to create more unique and in - depth fanfictions. If the stories are well - written and offer new perspectives on the characters, she might not be so tired of them.
Let the child take a break from hero novels for a while. Instead, focus on other types of literature that the child enjoys. After some time, when the child has grown a bit or has a different perspective, reintroduce the hero novels. Maybe pair it with an activity like a book club or a reading challenge where they can discuss the novel with other kids. This can make the experience of reading hero novels more enjoyable.
One option is to introduce the kid to other types of books. For instance, adventure stories that don't involve the school hero trope. This can broaden their reading interests.
Well, in romance novels, the jealous hero can bring out a sense of exclusivity. When the hero is jealous, it implies that he values the heroine so much that he doesn't want to share her with anyone else. This can lead to passionate declarations and actions. Take 'Wuthering Heights' for instance. Heathcliff's jealousy is almost obsessive, but it shows the intensity of his love for Catherine. It makes the love story more complex and engaging as we see the characters struggle with these strong emotions.
The writers could try to show a more nuanced relationship between Harry and Hermione. For example, show how Harry stands up to Hermione's bossiness in a friendly way, which adds more depth to their relationship.
One way could be to introduce her to some unique and well - written hero romance novels that break the mold. For example, novels where the hero has flaws and the relationship is more of a mutual growth process rather than the typical 'hero saves heroine' scenario.
Another aspect is the hero's moral choices. A conquering hero in non - adult fanfic often has to make difficult moral decisions. Take Eragon from 'Eragon' for example. He has to decide how to use his power in a just way, and this development of his moral compass is an important part of his journey as a conquering hero.
