ELEPHANT GIRAFFE

Alot of SIs are jester type character for some reason, they always make fun of the enemies, take things lightly and are so assured nothing wrong would hit them in the face. How i long to see one of them eventually gets their face carved in by an enemy who is too fed up with their bullshit

I am an elephant who imagines himself as a giraffe, you can call me, Eg or Egg, its just one more g so it shouldnt matter

A story needs stake, stakes make people feel the tension, the necessity to do something other than eating popcorns (cringe) and aura farming for multiple chapters.
Hit the mc at the point where they have no other choice but to act, if the mc is too strong, hit them with their family, their friends, their sole weakness, anything at all.
Or you could focus on another weaker but interesting character.

I wonder if there are any fics out there with an mc that just kill an innocent person, doesnt think much about it and move on but then in the same chapter or the next chapter we get a perspective of another character commenting on the killing, about how bone chilling or scared they were at the sight of the mc who just killed without remorse? Even more of a bonus that the mc is a friendly person wanting to get along

Is harem necessary at all for a story to be good? I do like to see harem if these characters have been together for a long while and harem is a mean for them to be together rather than the mc gathering trophy wives

I hate system/gamer/celestial whatever
