I've never understood this obsession of naming a single fanfic let alone an entire series after your OC. I think I see this more often in series like Harry Potter where the titular character is a main character, but it is in these fandoms the stories have the most disconnect with the original canon.

I think it's because being the titular character carries so much weight and simply being said character is important, yet these characters never, ever seem important enough, or I say developed enough to have a titular role like Harry did. I'd even argue Naruto didn't deserve a titular role with the fact there were other characters who played far more important roles and if character developmentic indicate the character has no buisness becoming Hokage as he never did grow up and simply had a bunch of "fate" and "powers" tacked on which made no sense.

That's what I expect from these types of series, but the issue becomes even worse when the fandom you're writing for already has a titular character. It screams the OC is even better than them.

No, it's not per say a major offense, but it does say a lot about the writer and how they think of their OC.
