Writing grim dark fantasy with self injected main character

[Naruzeldamaster]

What's funny is we have a Deus ex Machina running around. No one's spotted him, yet. Maybe I can learn to be subtle. lol

I love that lol I literally have a Deus Ex Machina too...

The characters different 'forms' are named after that. Youngest Sister: Machina. Elder Sister: Deus Ex Oldest Sister: Deus Ex Machina. She's 'one' person and she's the head God of the world.

But there shouldn't be anything that hints at them actually being that, until the time comes. (Since it's a comedy everything is a joke) I don't think anyone will clock it though, since the name is treated as a pun/joke also. (Like both lore wise and dialogue wise. The other gods in the story don't take her 'seriously' unless she's in 'fire and brimstone' mode of existing.)

Ours mostly points people where they need to go. We've seen him in every book so far. He's going to get more involved fairly soon, though.

i think putting your own experiences into a character that you have made is normal once I have not been through half what my characters have been through but i will still probably be judged

Mine is that way because of how the stories that I'm parodying with this story go.
Often in JRPG (Japanese role Playing Game) there will be some sort of 'get out of jail' mc guffin or character.
Sometimes it's known (to the player and/or the characters)
Sometimes it's not known (but that is rare)
Sometimes it's literally done as a Joke to make fun of games that have this happen seriously. (Undertale is a good example of this)
I'm quite fond of the ones where it parodies the 'obviously there' ones.
As much as I love the instances where they expect you to take them seriously, the quality of writing suffers a bit.
