Greg Heffley — The first truecel

I prefer Diary of a Supreme Gentleman.

Those books are interesting to analyze as works written by a narcissist who self inserts unintentionally. The author has said many times that Greg is somewhat of a self insert, but mostly in inconsequential matters like his favorite foods and dislikes, and not in things like major personality traits. But when you really look at how Greg acts through the story and the reactions he gets from them it starts to look somewhat more complex. Greg does things that don't get reactions even when they should, most of the examples of this are subtle negative comments that would make anybody in real life uncomfortable, but in the story they are often interpreted as jokes or ignored. His main character trait of being a jerk is also unusual when looked at from a wider perspective, because while he does often suffer the consequences of his actions, its usually for the major stuff and not the hundreds of small things. I think that the author in real life is very similar to Greg but does not fully realize it because most of what he does are the small inconsequential actions that don't get big reactions, only glares behind the back and scoffs. Furthermore the theme in the story of Greg only have a few friends I believe to be a unintentional replication of the authors real life. He probably constantly pushes people away after only knowing them for a short time, initially charming them with a seemingly dark sense of humor and wacky antics that they soon realize are not intentional or well meaning.
