The Pun Tyrant
It depends on the work, but I do generally find it to be a bit exaggerated for some manner of thematic purpose, though I do believe people are self-centered by nature (which should be noted doesn’t mean one can’t be altruistic. The two aren’t truly incompatible as even if one’s reasons when it comes down to the core is self-centered, one can still tie one’s own well-being to that of others).
