Try to read the full sentence bro. I also said "probably" so it was nothing definitive.
Where are you pulling your "probability" stats from? What makes it "probable"? It's not, for me.
Perhaps you meant "possibly"?
Regardless, Lyriel got a whole load of hate, when she was introduced.
I don't see why someone "streetwise or an engineer" would risk falling off into a void just to test it. You'd think she'd try to drop something into it before attempting to escape via rope.
We do not know that she didn't test it first.
She may well have dropped the rope into the cloud, then pulled it back up & seen it was still intact, so logically presumed that she would remain so, too.
Why are people's main points in comparison is Lyriel being a bitch? That's her trope. I don't see how Blair's personality should be compared to her's.
Because the point you raised in objection to Blair, "being stupidly stubborn", was also directly and massively attributable to Lyriel.
Lyriel's behaviour was
far worse.
Blair (being an independent, streetwise, engineer & survivor) as a character seems to be justified in being somewhat stubborn.
She's spent her life figuring out how things work. If someone tells her "this is how it works", I still expect her to pull it apart to see for herself.
The point is that people also hated Lyriel & the dev turned the way people receive her around.
Her behaviour changed, over time & people became more accepting.
So it's perfectly feasible that, given time & content, he can do something similar with Blair.
Blair on the other hand, makes the MC's interactions with her less... entertaining.
Everyone has different tastes, a lot of people are saying they don't like her, but she's a niche character.
If you don't like her, then she's not for your tastes/kinks. Same as Naomi & Yona are for more niche kinks.
Point is the same, for all 3: My interest in her story is not dependant on my interest in fucking her.
Honestly, no one compares to Rae. Rae is best girl and you can't convince me otherwise.
Ha ha ha, no disagreement there!
