notice that she only pointed at the "self-insert"
the rest can only be true then
she also says that under no circumstances any "brute force" will work and only fighting smart is that you can beat her characters (ignoring the fact that all enemies have the intelligence that Lily wants and the way they fight is arbitrary unlike her characters who can do whatever they want)
and the really smart ones don’t fight because they know they won’t win
there Lily admits that her knowledge of anime has only three and considers all the rest to be ripoffs, so as far as she is concerned every anime character has the same power and fights the same way
and genocide is OK as long as you tell them you're going to do it beforehand, and if they attack you (even if you're infinitely superior and can just disarm them) you kill them all and blame them for being stupid
if you blame the dead they cannot defend themselves and you have your conscience free of guilt or remorse
"my characters don't kill people, people kill themselves in front of my characters"
it will be obvious but Lily doesn't know why dystopias are created and why the genre is so fascinating
dystopias are utopias put in reality, every government wants to make "the nicest place" and give a lot of "benefits" to the inhabitants, but between giving what the people want, what they need and what the government needs is more complicated than saying "everything works out because I said so" and constantly engaging in wars, genocides and having governors and commanders mentally unstable and depressive
when Lily says she has no interest in a genre it is just translate it to "it is too much to think about and it is difficult, I only understand basic kids stuff"
Lord Ryder is a deity then, make sense
seeing Tales of Val'kyr going to destroyer of galaxies, killer of gods, multiversal genocide with characters that became a list of powers and a list of mental illnesses.
she transformed into Dragon ball with teen angst and depression
no wonder that Lily prefers simple stories focused on Slice of life, she is terrible at having a consistent focus and ends up wanting to put all possible fantasies she likes without wanting to have the responsibility to explain, connect or develop beyond concept,
as if the whole story had purposeful holes to be able to leave space for retcons until she lost interest and only update inconsequential vignettes that only she cares
and then projects her incompetence on everyone who makes fantastical adventures to be able to blame the genre and not her horrible writing
