You are so good at understanding the characters and I wanted to know your opinion on the whole "MC is rude" discourse especially in regard to her relationship with Sylus. Personally, I DISAGREE big time and could write a whole five-page essay on why I disagree.
I am curious as to how you feel about it though.
Let's talk about it 🗣️
I've seen posts about people saying how rude MC is and I personally feel like the people who say this or agree with it are only saying she's rude because she's not acting how they would act. They're also only reading her on a surface level.
Sometimes I feel like people forget that yes even though MC is supposed to be us we have to remember we're truly spectators to a story that isn't our own.
MC isn't rude this girl saw her home blown up with her childhood friend and "grandmother" inside. She never got a chance to even mourn them properly. She's also a top hunter of course she has her guard up and on top of that she's on her own. Yea she has friends, but she has no family and no memory of her past yet she's still pushing through w/ heart issues.
Lastly ..... and I can't express this enough ..... SHE DOES NOT KNOW THESE MEN. Main story timeline wise MC is not romantically involved with any of them yet. Zayne is probably the only exception, but even then she has many blanks in her memory of her childhood w/ him.
She sees them each for what they are....
- Zayne is her primary care physician and estranged childhood friend
- Xavier is her mysterious hunter friend/co-worker
- Rafayel is her make-shift client who she can't fully read
- Sylus is the leader of Onychinus who kidnapped her and now they have some invisible linkage that comes and goes as it pleases.
Even in the memories (If i'm understanding them correctly) they're only showing what can/what will happen if she chooses to be romantically involved with them (they do seem to have a timeline within them), but Main story MC is not there yet.
People also tend to forget MC's main goal isn't to make these four fall in love with her she's trying to figure out her aether core in her heart. She is about business and falling in love is not her main priority so of course she's not swooning and barking like us as players are; she has more important matters to worry about.
