There are the books where chapter 1 feels like the DM is setting up the campaign world for you. *sigh*

Is the current trend in YA really the "I am incompetent at everything and also clueless about my surroundings" character? Or is this just people trying to ape Harry Potter without going the necessary step of putting their MC in a world they genuinely have no way of knowing anything about?

I blame it on Mercury retrograde, because the other alternative is probably encroaching senility.

Yeah. It's been a rough weekend emotionally for lots of us, given recent events.
