Character x Reader fanfiction is basically new age Mary Sue fanfiction. It's almost always told from the reader's POV and has them interacting/falling in love/doing the do with fictional characters. Seriously. Type in almost any fictional character from any TV show, movie, game etc. x reader into Google and I can guarantee you there will probably be a fanfic for it.
Whilst there are some well written ones, there are some terrible ones out there, specifically for toxic fandoms, in particular FNAF and Undertale (because most of tumblr wants to fuck the skeletons from Undertale and IDEK why).
I'm OK with the genre to an extent. I've read some interesting fics in this genre but shit, there are some bad ones out there (especially on AO3, which I thought had a vetting process. I guess not). What do those of you who have read fics in this genre think of it?
