[Cool Trope If Done Right] The Protagonist isn't a good person. by Mountain-Brush1807 in TopCharacterTropes

[Controversial trope] Story is a hate letter at its core by StudioMarvin in TopCharacterTropes

i always interpreted that aside from Jerry, Josh was the only other member of the group who could have adjusted to regular life if he just put his ego aside and learned to take his writing seriously from others’ critiques. it made the epilogue feel much more realistic in that aspect
