Found nothing wrong about self-insertion fics but some people I asked said they are not popular and well-received by the fanfic community

It totally depends on how the story is written. Some people get so lost in themselves that the story becomes hard to follow and just weird but if the person can really insert a character into the fictional world that way that it is really believable that he/she is supposed to be there, then there's no problem with that.

@ "lmao wat's se1f insertion?"

Quote:

As the name implies, a Self Insert Fic is one where the author has made a simulacrum of himself — commonly called an avatar — in the story's world as a key character. If the author has any sense of subtlety, the resulting character won't share their name or alias, but it's still easy to tell who that "new character" is.
