I think my favorite fiction features fundamentally unpleasant characters you wouldn’t actually want as friends, in carrier-bag (cf Le Guin) type fiction. I don’t think I’d like Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, Zaphod, or Trillian from HHG. Maybe I’d like Marvin.

Hero’s journey is present but as an object of ridicule. Like in the Rick and Morty episodes where Morty wants hero’s journey shit.
