A set of socially acceptable actions and milestones as deemed by general society to follow through your life that will bring you happiness. In western society this means, being born, going to school then university, meeting someone, marrying them, buying a house together, having kids and then dying.

Hym "No. Shithead. There is an entire anime dedicated to the multiplicity of meta-narrative that can be derived from this. What the actual fuck are you talking about? Do you know it's name? It's coming out with a 3rd season. There are literally dozens of meta-narrative in here. It's a literal masterpiece by all relevant metrics."

Metanarrative Dissonance 

Metanarrative Dissonance is an incongruence between the narrative of a game (the story) and the outside parts unrelated to the story nor the game itself (real life related features).

- Must've been made by different ppl irl. Metanarrative Dissonance sucks.
