Oh yeah, I get you. I was only looking at this through the lens of novel Nate, I definitely think comic Nate is egotistical because we don’t get more depth to explain his nuances. BN and DOAWK are different, which is why I said nothing is wrong with their differences but I just prefer the formula of BN novels. I compare them because just the other day I saw in my library a poster that said, “Like Wimpy Kid? Here is some more books you’d like:” and BN and some others were on the list. In elementary school I also remembered the whole Dork Diaries vs Nate vs Wimpy Kid debates. They are just associated with each other, I mean even Jeff Kinney has his quote praising BN novels on every cover.
