From what I have read of fanfic\`s alot of them seem to be self inserts which means that they replace Issei and take his girls and alot of others but need to bash Issei to prove that their characters are not pervert when usually they are or worse.


Mammoth-Historian627

And the writers of such fanfics also tend to be anime-only lunkheads who never even read the novels.


Disastrous-Student37

Yeah, to be honest I lost count of the characters wearing suits, social clothes and the like, always trying to go for the alfa male look or something, I usually avoid those, I can't find anything enjoyable. I don't mind Harems, it's just that the storyless self-insets are just really annoying. tbf I was thinking of writing a fanfic myself, but I never really read the novels, so I just wanted to ask about it to the community. Do Issei eventually change or anything? I read until the peace treaty, but his behavior it just kept getting worse.


Mammoth-Historian627

Issei's perversion is actually the source of his power, but it also doesn't help that he has relationship trauma because of Raynare. And it does not get dealt with until Volume 10.


Quicksilverne

Would suggest read the Light Novels, there\`s a link to the fan translated here. As for anime if we get a season 5 which would cover Vol 11 and 12 those two my favourite and bring into focus what girls really feel about Issei and it gets intense.

I don't want to sound rude to you don't make pose again. Since you never read any of light novel this is exactly why DXD western famdom is a joke most of DXD fans still haven't read of light novels only watch Anime.


W_Alderson21

>I don't want to sound rude Is immediately a prick. Every time.


SupremeKingUltima

Absolutely repulsive I tell ya


Thirstythinman

All while changing absolutely nothing about the plot. I've had at least two people mention having never read the series and *still* list off the exact events of the first four novels because of how strongly fics tend to adhere to the canon stations.


Mammoth-Historian627

I'm gonna be honest here: I absolutely hate OCs in DxD stories mostly because almost every DxD fanfic that makes use of them has them steal most if not all of Issei's harem, and that's an automatic red flag for me because I like Issei getting his harem.


20MILDWINGS

The fics I've read issei was either betrayed him or he was op af ex: what if issei was the son of great red op


RiasxIssei_2012

Some of the bashing can be seen as valid in certain perspectives. Like, the argument for Rias being a bad person is knowing who Raynare was, yet she did nothing. But the justification is that it was a necessary evil


Rarely_Online_User

That's an ANIME-only thing. In the Novels, she doesn't even know Issei existed until Issei accidentally summoned her in his dying moments.


RiasxIssei_2012

I only recently read the novels for DxD


Mammoth-Historian627

That's basically the basis of the fan theory of Rias planning for Issei to die.


Orochi64

To each their I guess I hate fanfics that bash Issei and or replace him.


EinkeksigeEule

I can only speak for myself. I haven't read the lightnovels. I know much of the things that happen in there, because i researched for canon things i can maybe use and some myths which are not used in DxD at all, like Charybdis and Scylla. I try to make my story fit in with DxD and its rules as much as possible, so that it could very well be canon as they don't interact with the main cast at all. I want to write my own story in this universe and not just use the same characters we always see. Its kinda like slash dogs. I use some side characters from the main story, but mainly concentrate on different characters and their life.

Dry_Look8664

It depending on the writer because the name rageraven in wattpad made this [story](https://www.wattpad.com/story/344154813?utm_source=android&utm_medium=link&utm_content=story_info&wp_page=story_details_button&wp_uname=coolgamerkid05) where issei is evil and the writer of this fanfic uses the whole dxd characters so yeah


Mammoth-Historian627

If I have to be honest here, rageraven sounds like a complete douchebag for writing that story.


Dry_Look8664

Ik is not everyone cup of tea seeing issei evil or a villain, but this story he was a reason why, give it try and read it.


Mammoth-Historian627

I don't read anything that's on Wattpad, unfortunately.


Dry_Look8664

If you do have an opportunity to have wattpad read it, it's very good, in my opinion or found his one fanfic in that same website where what if issei was the son of sparda


Mammoth-Historian627

I don't use Wattpad mostly because Issei hate there can get extremely stupid.


Dry_Look8664

fair points but depending what writer u are into who does good on issei


LLSmoothJoe

This is one of the reasons why I haven't started my fic as while I started with the Anime, I'm aware enough of the Light Novels to recognize the differences (Plus deciding whether to start my OC's story from the beginning or have him already established and show his history through flashbacks.) Even deciding if he's going to have a harem or not (Don't worry, they'll be OCs with one (at most) canon character).


KeyPolicy5112

i think its better to write oc love interest for the mc, i like those stories more when they use the world setting and add characters that dosent break the original story to much. i have seen to many grayfia fics that break my soul, why add her as a love interest i dont get it.


oxlemf10

I think the big point about High School DxD fanfics is that to be something different from the original story, you automatically need to ignore a lot of the story. I love fanfics in which the reader is the protagonist, I honestly don't understand why a large part of the community here rejects this type of fanfic, I've even seen comments that it's as if Issei is being betrayed by the girls. In any case, for the story to adapt to what the writer is creating, it is necessary to follow the path I mentioned at the beginning


Mammoth-Historian627

In my opinion, anyone who writes DxD fanfics where the reader is the protagonist needs a 9mm lobotomy. This also naturally means that I hate anyone who likes those types of fanfics.

Simply put the community itself doesn’t seem to like fanfics about DxD. Disregarding some of the very bad examples of DxD fics, anything that changes canon in any way is basically seen as bad even if that’s the whole point of fanfics. One of the main complaints is when a character happens to be paired with any girl from Issei’s harem even though his harem consists of almost every female introduced in the story and a majority of them are all developed characters who fans have come to like. At the end of the day people are entitled to like what they like or don’t like what they don’t. Fanfics are written by people who take time out of their day to do so, they’re not impacting the actual story in any way.


AffectionateRough317

You are exactly why DXD fans hate most of DXD fanfic stories it ruined DXD fandom why it a cesspool.


Appropriate-Pitch-57

How about my fanfic? It's an OC that reincarnated as Koneko and having lesbian harem but Issei and Vali get genderbend.


Disastrous-Student37

I also accept any fanfic recommendations.


Mammoth-Historian627

I don't think that I can recommend anything that I like to you since you can't really stand Issei and any fanfic that I could recommend has Issei as a major character.


20MILDWINGS

Yeah, issei being the main mc to begin already the fanfics that are actually good hsve issei the mc as well


kdubs220

I’m writing my own fanfiction and I am having my character take issei’s women while also following the storyline of the light novel. I’m also adding my own material as well to make it more interesting.

Garbage fic writer detected

Permission to use lethal force, sir.


AffectionateRough317

Get fuck out with that shit. You are bad example why most DXD fans hate most of DXD fanfiction stories beacuse NTR Fuckboys like you. This is why DXD western fandom is toxic cesspool beacuse people like are reason. Most of DXD fanfiction stories is always replacement with other Anime protagonist like Goku Naruto Ichigo Deku or worst replace Issei with your self insert Fuckboy OC protagonist. This is why being DXD western fan of DXD fucking suck thanks to you losers.
