So… does your protagonist want to be the best?

Like the pirate king/hokage/wizard king/number 1 hero/etc.

Vivienne is the best. That's half the book. I didn't want an accidental or half-ass, pity me hero. Over done and too 90s. I wanted a strong confident hero.

 

[Snehazrul]

Nah, she just wants to keep going on.

 

[Auragale]

My character just wants to chill but everything around him is a chaos gremlin

 

[ShrimpShady]

Every MC motivation I've ever written basically amounts to:

 

[RepresentingWrath]

No.

 

[radraccoon]

Like the pirate king/hokage/wizard king/number 1 hero/etc.

No. He just wants to help.

 

[Thraben]

Do not seek to be the best.

At all times, Remember these words

"Merely seek to be better than you were yesterday."

Also, Remember these words too

"You will encounter no problems, if the author truly loves you."

 

[Forgotten_Fox]

Not really, he just doesn't want for people to keep seeing him as the worst.

 

[N.K.Watson]

My protagonist doesn't even really want all this, she just wants to live her life, ok? This is a lot all at once.

 

[Sayeed_56]

Becoming number one was never the goal.
But chasing happiness in a chaotic world—especially after a lonely first life—is never easy.
Still, along the way, he grows strongest when it's for the sake of his own joy and the people he loves.

Nivi just wants to survive. And to survive in the jungle, she definitely cannot stay as weak as she is.

Instead of growing stronger and betfer than everyone else, she'd love to find a place where she belongs, but she doubts she will.
