Do it.

You'd be shocked at how many 'horrible' stories I've written...And read...And enjoyed despite the 'bad' premise. The Fire Emblem Awakening fandom, for instance, is home to a few surprisingly good self-insert fanfiction, good enough that it led to a wave of 'copycat' fics on FF.net (of variable quality).

And if it makes you feel any better, my own novelization (if I do it) will also inevitably include some romance between the PC and one of the NPC characters.
