    Just to be clear, this isn't a fantasy for him, this is probably how he views himself. A victim but also a fighter, an aggressive person but also the most kind caring person ever, the best man a woman can ask for while also viewing them as little more than sexual objects.
    And of course he dies at the end so he can really hammer in the messiah complex he clearly has, what a piece of shit.

      Imagine, a forest burning down in smoke and flames.
      You know this is your end but you are assured that your offspring will live on
      They will grow, stronger after the burning of the forest
      Forty years later you still watch them fondly
      You see with great sorrow that in which disasters
      Will be the only way your generation will live on
      But you hear, "We need more paper! We need more trees!"
      "We have permission to chop down the forest over there."
      "Good! Get this down by next month."
      You feel panic and happiness run through your non-existent trunks
      You knew this would happen one day or another
      This is alas the end to most trees
      You feel great happiness because someone else will now treasure your offspring as you do
      But you, see your offspring turn into....... *WHy I hAte YoU*
      You commit seppuku soon after
      *TL:DR I wrote a cringe worthy of a short story, in which is probably a little above Onison's book*

    If you look at Arthur while completely ignoring everything else about this book and also only the parts mentioned in this video (because god fucking forbid am I reading this), it paints a really sad picture about a boy who hates humanity to an absurd degree, but has also shelved that hatred to stew unaddressed while he goes through the motions of what he imagines a normal person is like because he doesn't believe he has free will due to a fundamental misunderstanding of what free will is. He fantasises about killing a stadium of people without any signs of remorse, and yet gets into relationships with three different women just because that's what he thinks a human is like, because he isn't a human, he's a fucking sub-sapient homunculus trying to become human. Picture Frankenstein's monster, but with the internal monologue of every edgelord teenager alive crammed into his head. Theoretically, he could have been a semi-interesting character if it weren't for everything else about this book and its author.

    The part of the story where Greg's self-insert gets choked out by his father actually, sort-of, happened to him irl. However, surprise, surprise, Greg isn't the victim.
    Greg was blasting his music during a car ride to Nashville, his dad and step-mom got fed up with it, asked him to turn it down, he ignored them and his father pulled off the highway, turned around in his seat and demanded him to turn down his music. Greg, the reasonable and logical person he is, screams and goes to bolt from the car. So his dad grabs his shoulders to stop him while his step-mom tries to untie his shoelaces (?), Greg then kicks his dad in the face several times, breaking his glasses and giving his dad a bloody nose.
    Police are called and Greg is taken to a juvenile detention center, parents don't press charges and he only gets probation.

    Ok I completely understand wanting to skip the epilogue, but this way you missed the "plot twist" shoehorned in at the very end where it's revealed that Arthur's father no-no worded him when he was a child, and THAT'S why he hated him and was so edgy all the time.
    Of course, there was absolutely no hints or foreshadowing of this anywhere in the book, and it's pretty obviously a ploy to gain sympathy, but there you have it.

      Of course Arthur's father fucked him. Did you even pay attention while reading? Then the police came and arrested Arthur for trying to resist. Slaves of the law they are.

    This book should be showed in school as how not to write. Also this book could be useful in high school projects on “easy criticism”

    42:54 Hi, actual Veteran here, UCMJ stands for Uniform Code of Military Justice, it's basically the all eaching law that applies to all service members regardless of branch. I'm also fairly confident that UCMJ doesn't state what he claims in the book, and definitely not in that language. If it did or does no one cares. I'm fairly certain Greggy got this wrong because 1. he's an idiot and 2. he never finished his training and wasn't even honorably discharged, I.E. he was shit at the military. Heck, I'd have to go out of my way to look into it, but I'm pretty sure he can't even claim himself as a veteran as a legal status. So this already dumb shit where he cited a portion of UCMJ but had been set up for failure by not being told the whole thing (not that someone in Greg's (or whatever he called his self-insert, I've already forgotten because I can't be bothered.) position would have any sort of real specific education on UCMJ since it wouldn't be relevant if anything he would be maybe aware of and citing Air Force Regulation here) is actually way fucking dumber because as usual, it's Grongger pulling shit out of his ass.
    Yes, I am aware the above is probably a nightmare to read. I'm lazy, there's no excuse, just laziness.
    Edit: Hi again, I actually want to point out that basically every military-related part of this book, at least as shown in this video because I'm not subjecting myself to reading this shit, can be rebutted with "That's not how that works, that's not how any of that works". It's basically all wrong and misconstrued and misrepresented, it's a joke. A sad pathetic joke that earns no laughs. And I still grammar not so good.

      I’m pretty sure grog was in the military for a week or so. I’ve heard that he got naked in front of some official to prove that he wasn’t a robot or some shit and got discharged for that. Not sure how true that is, though.
