Supporting characters matter because they offer different perspectives. In a web novel, the main character might be focused on one goal, but a supporting character could have a completely different view. This diversity of views adds complexity to the narrative. They can also represent different social groups or values within the fictional society of the web novel, making it more relatable to a wider range of readers.
One example is Hermione from the 'Harry Potter' web novels (if considered in the form of web - based fanfiction). She is extremely intelligent and her knowledge often saves Harry and Ron. Another is Sanji from 'One Piece' fan web novels. His cooking skills are not only useful for the crew's survival but also add a touch of elegance and chivalry to the story with his 'no - hitting women' policy.
I recommend the novel,"The Supporting Female Lead is Brilliant." The protagonist of this book was a supporting actress who had transmigrated into the world of novels. Her fate was destined to be belittled, but she relied on her wisdom and courage to counterattack and become the best supporting actress. This novel deeply reflected the inner world of the supporting actress and the process of their gradual growth. It showed that women could also have a chance to shine in the novel world. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
Supporting actresses can also represent different values or worldviews. In a fantasy web novel, a supporting actress could be from a different race or culture, and her actions and beliefs show the diversity of the fictional world. In some web novels, they can be the key to unlock certain plotlines. Like in mystery - themed ones, a supporting actress may hold a crucial clue that the protagonist needs to solve the mystery. They are important because they contribute to the overall richness of the story.
Well, 'Don't underestimate me' in MLP fanfic could refer to a character's determination to prove themselves despite initial doubts. It might also be a theme used to build tension and character development.
I'm not entirely sure without reading it, but perhaps it's a fanfic centered around a MLP character's journey of self - discovery while dealing with others' low expectations. It might have elements of friendship, like how the underestimated character's friends either underestimate them too at first or later come to realize their true potential. There could also be some sort of magical adventure where the character defies the odds.
