[This fic is good](https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5514187/1/Unsung-Story-of-the-Inconspicuous), and I think meets the criteria for being a rational fic, if in a sort of Meta way.
|
||
|
||
Raiku Gairano is part of a small and unimportant ninja clan in Konoha; unimportant by choice, as they are both able to see, and are naturally immune to, narrative convention.
|
||
|
||
As I said, pretty meta, but it does nicely highlight one of the key tenants of rational writhing: nothing happens 'just because', but only as the rules direct. In this case, the world is built in with rules that direct the Plot, thus giving our aware MC a very interesting perspective as she tries to do her family proud... by not interfering with the Grand Story of the Universe and living as unmemorably as possible.

>> In the author's defense, a certain apathy is necessary to be able to actively ignore events you know are going to happen, especially when it concerns lives to be saved.

>> Sorry for replying to an old comment, but it does. Raiku’s lack of empathy is a plot point of sorts. I can’t defend anyone else though if it seems unrealistic at times for humor.
