>A picaresque narrative is usually written in first person as an autobiographical account.
>The main character is often of low character or social class. He or she gets by with wit and rarely deigns to hold a job.
>There is no plot. The story is told in a series of loosely connected adventures or episodes.
>There is little if any character development in the main character. Once a pícaro, always a pícaro. His or her circumstances may change but they rarely result in a change of heart.
>The pícaro's story is told with a plainness of language or realism.
>Satire is sometimes a prominent element.
>The behavior of a picaresque hero or heroine stops just short of criminality. Carefree or immoral rascality positions the picaresque hero as a sympathetic outsider, untouched by the false rules of society.

Is Wojak the quintessential Picaresque protagonist? His stories tick all the boxes.
