You know that protagonist who has no personality or distinguishing features, allowing them to serve as stand-ins for the reader? This is that, taken to its logical extreme.
Reader Insert Fic is a genre of fanfiction where the protagonist ''is'' the reader. The protagonist of these stories is a FeaturelessProtagonist whose name is usually "Y/N" (as in, your name), "[[SpellMyNameWithABlank ___]]", "(your name)", or "F/N L/N" (first name, last name). Essentially, Y/N isn't just a character the reader projects onto, they ''are'' the reader. Usually used for {{Shipping}} and WishFulfillment, where the Reader falls in love with a canon character in the story; these are called "×Reader" fanfics. While this is usually a fanfic trope, some original fiction is written this way.
However, since it's almost impossible to write a protagonist that ''every'' reader can relate to, many Y/Ns end up being more like {{Original Character}}s. For example, Y/N is, more often than not, a teenage girl because MostFanficWritersAreGirls. While the writers of these stories usually try to make the protagonist a LeadYouCanRelateTo by making every trait that can't be left ambiguous as generic as possible, this can be a bit of an AudienceAlienatingPremise for readers who are not in the assumed reader demographic.
Tropes common in Reader-Insert fics include:
* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: That way, the author doesn't have to worry that Y/N's parents differ from the reader's. Also creates some easy angst.
* CuteClumsyGirl: Y/N is often written this way.
* DeadpanSnarker: Y/N often has a lot of snappy comebacks
* HighSchoolAU: Many Reader-Insert stories take place in high school, [[WriteWhatYouKnow because the authors]] and the readers are [[MostFanficWritersAreGirls usually teenage girls]].
* "[[TheIngenue Good Girl]] Y/N meets [[TroubledButCute Bad Boy]]" is a common plot of original reader-insert stories.
* ShrinkingViolet: This is one of the most common personalities for Y/N.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: If Y/N is female, she is usually described as much shorter than the male love interest.
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: Y/N is, in high school settings, usually either the most bullied kid in the school (who just happens to have a secret power/curse/magical bloodline), or a perfectly average student with no notable traits.
Combine this with SturgeonsLaw and the fact that these stories are usually written by young and inexperienced writers, and parodies of reader-inserts and the expected tropes that come with them abound. In fact, Reader-Inserts are a bit of an UndeadHorseTrope, as they continue to be produced in large quantities despite the amount of mockery they have received.

!!!'''Canon and In-Universe Examples'''
* ''[[https://www.wattpad.com/story/92124195-crushxreader CrushxReader]]'' is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, and not only is the protagonist a stand-in for the reader, the love interest is meant to be a stand-in for the reader's crush.
* ''[[https://www.wattpad.com/story/356362584-twisted-faith-yandere-male-x-male-reader-%E2%9C%93 Twisted Faith]]'' is an {{Isekai}} story with a rare male protagonist where the reader is sent to a DarkFantasy world as a character who is going to be sacrificed to their god.
* Iino from ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'' is mentioned to be a big fan of these types of stories, regularly reading them to fuel her desire for validation. She initially focused on ''Literature/HarryPotter'' stories, but these days she prefers [[RealPersonFic Real-Person Fics]].
!!!'''Parodies'''
* [[https://www.wattpad.com/story/284858382-y-n-slander This story]], fittingly titled ''Y/n Slander'', absolutely skewers many of the cliches of reader-insert stories as well as Wattpad young adult fiction in general, such as excessive stuttering, wild teen parties, and unnecessary description of Y/N's appearance.
