The worst fanfic summary ever.
The goddess of reincarnation, cheat abilities, & the multiverse falls in love with an SI!OC shortly before he dies, causing him to be reincarnated in the Ranma 1/2 world as Ranma's younger twin brother. 6 months later he gains the Gamer Ability. Will the SI!OC tell anyone about his ability? His reincarnation? His knowledge of the future? What waves will he cause? Pairings Undecided
I'm merely observing that the vast majority of the time this leads to a badly written character, because the author is using lazy shortcuts instead of trying to get into the head of the character their modifying and portraying them in character.
So, uh, what's hypocritical about this?
Tags should contain information about the major characters involved in the story, properties of the story such as AU, Divergence, etc. And any trigger warnings for sensitive content like violence or sexual assault.
None of those tags I mentioned had to do with awful bad and dumb character modifiers like Rational!Nanoha.

Well in the first place this thread is all about posting summaries that don't inspire you to read the story, therefore it is entirely about "preferences"

People start writing, then when posting they try to come up with the tag that they think fits their take on the character best.

Except when they are the tags YOU specifically don't like, because obviously, everyone should know and abide by that.
Yes, that is hypocritical.

Spica75 wrote:Yes. But you asserted specifically that "character modifiers" ALWAYS meant poorly written characters or something
