In a few Stephen King books I wouldn't say the protagonists suck, if anything really sucks badly in a book I can't carry on reading it.
But it's annoying that a lot of his protagonists are writers, just like him, and seem to be popular with the ladies, and in a pretty corny way too.
Or in the gunslinger book when he says the gunslinger has an eye for detail and if I remember rightly he draws on similarities to himself as a writer with an eye for detail, that was pretty fucking annoying. If you're a geek with big thick glasses who's amazing at writing books then plenty of people will respect you for that, but there's no need to start thinking "Hey I'm a bit like a cool western gun slinging killer with the way I write my books with such detail."

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
