Can some anon give me a tldr of this circlejerk of a thread? I fully disagree with OP, I think he's baiting and too much credit has been given to him. But still, can anyone summarise the most important points and the state of the art here?

Not that anon but I read it last month. If you seriously think the princess is a perfect self-insert, you need to get your head checked and then re-read the book. A female side character being competent and useful is not the same thing as a perfect self-insert. Go read some YA trash if you want to see a real self-insert perfect female character.
