Warning: Dnf very early.

One of my biggest book “icks” that make me stop almost immediately is when the main character describes themselves by their “superior qualities” un ironically, without prompting, or without having a greater purpose as a plot device.

You know, like I just had to hear the heroine say she has a flat stomach and double D's in an otherwise normal sentence. Idk I just feel like people don't casually complement themselves in sentences like that?

I'm not even against mary sues or main characters with perfect traits. But when giving us as readers an initial picture of the heroines awesomeness I generally don't want it to be from her lol.
