Or, as my friend keeps reminding me: if I like a character, there are good changes they won't reach the end in one piece, nor with their body still over ground
So, back to the OP's question: I don't need to identify myself with any characters of any story, but a story or characters within need to be able to communicate me something, to pick up my interest, to make me curious/care about what's happening next.
"To connect" to a story means "to be interested in what the author wanted to show" to me.
