Can we just ban the word average. Just get rid of it. Im honestly tired of seeing the f*ckn word. Literally like 80% of this websites novels have "average" in there synopsis or prelog. When people first started using it, it was fine you'd only see it every other book, but now if i wanna read reincarnation, transmigration, system, or just a guy getting his shit together, you better believe average is gonna be there. Sorry just had to rant, anybody agree.
The word average.
yokedjaguar So we should ban the use of completely normal world only because you don't like it?
MotivatedSloth I don’t see why not.
Even if it gets banned, is there any guarantee that everyone would oblige to it?
On average it might happen. 
Darth_Xiane Eh, it seems too much of work though. I mean, isn't ignoring a far better option?

yokedjaguar If it’s not “average” then it’ll be “normal,” “regular,” “everyday type,” “not unusual,” “same as anyone,” “standard,” or whatever other version of the same.

Lol what about 'trash'? That's quite common too.
Anyways, I think that there's no need to remove that. We're all average in one way or another. An MC's journey from average to special is what makes the novels you described so fun.
As for the word itself, there are a lot of words that are common in novels and most authors aren't pro or look through a dictionary to find a complicated word for basic words like average. It's what naturally comes to mind in most cases and they use it.
Why does the word average have to be so average? But then it wouldn't be average if it wasn't so average but why can't the word average be not so average? But the question itself is like asking why summer is so sunny and winter is so snowy, why anime is so awesome and idiots so foo–
"..."I don't even know what I'm saying, I'm sorry.
