Where the main character is a shining example for all the misfits who've questioned their worth, their life, or their dreams.
this is an edit: bonus if the mc gives the feeling of mgk's most recent album "tickets to my downfall". if you don't know who mgk is he's the guy who ton's of people hate for dissing Eminem in 2018 or so.
When I saw the topic, I immediately thought of the Robert Heinlein short story of the same name, about a young man who is a misfit in his society, but turns out to be a instinctive mathematical prodigy.
probably an anti-hero. someone who focuses on his goal but not so much so he becomes a monster. A monster in my eyes is someone who can detroy a childs dream or goal and not feel a hint of remorse. But he won't take shit from any body
Anti-hero probably narrows the pool of stories considerably; I can't think of any off the top of my head. Whereas I can think of a few where the misfit is a hero - it's a common trope in do-overs for example.
