I've managed to squeeze the Naruto Novels into my busy schedule and finally was able to properly read them instead of superficial skimming through the pages.
And every each of them, every single phrase, line or word is nothing but natalist propaganda.
Every single one of the Naruto Novels is a poor advocacy for natalism, despite the fact that no character can even begin to act like a proper parent.
If you're in for a lecture to talk you out of Life Script, are an Antinatalism or a CF person, then grab a novel and embark on a spumous ride, where savvy characters like Shikamaru openly admit that having kids and a wife is a drag and he'd rather indulge in a carefree life, he still chooses to follow the natalist propaganda.
And don't have me start on Hinata and how she was advised to move back to the Hyuga household bc she's basically a single mom and a trophy wife to boot about.
The rest are even worse.
Maybe I'll find the motivation to thoroughly write a proper literary interpretation for them, but now I'm too disgusted to even begin to summon such energy.
If you're a CF person my absolute advise is to NOT TOUCH ANY NARUTO NOVEL!
