Ohh yeah plot armor is there.. but I would not call that Gary Stu. Remains to see what happens, after all, the game has at least three paths.

We might be fucking OP when we have both powers, but once we picked one over the other we are gonna have an actual enemy there.

I doubt our lovely Ataegina is going to come save our asses... She could at least come at let as kiss hers... that babe is fantastic, with Ayna and Kat.
There is only one true path, to the Archmage chamber :sneaky:

Hahah yes she is my main objective too since the first moment. And I start liking her more and more.

But this is one of those games that is full of amazing girls. I also love Kat personality and there is something alluring in Bredita... like my evil heart wants to go with her and call her mommy! Only reason I went good is because I want to fuck love Ayna so much.

I wished Ataegina had a bigger involvement but that might simply render the story pointless.

So, a thing about fantasy (genre fiction in general, really) is that good fantasy requires the protagonist to be the center of the conflict. The higher the stakes of the story, the more necessary this becomes. You can't write a saving-the-world plot about some dirt farmer who dies of cholera while the real main characters are off-screen doing the saving the world part. I mean, you could, but it'd be really frustrating. So any good fantasy protagonist is going to be a Mary Sue to at least some extent: The author has to contrive a reason why this person serves as the fulcrum, and that's necessarily gonna be a contrivance. It's just something you have to learn to swallow if you're going to enjoy fantasy fiction at all. (And some people don't enjoy fantasy for precisely this reason, and that's okay.)

And, come *on*, collecting a harem is a self-indulgent Mary Sue trait all on its own.


That said, there is such a thing as layering on *too much* specialness. A protagonist should be as Special as they need to be to justify the plot turning upon them and their decisions: Anything more than that is simply excessive. A common newbie mistake is to make the protagonist a lost prince who must reclaim his throne from his evil uncle... and then also make him half-dragon, and the reincarnation of an ancient archwizard, and have him find a sword that once slew a god, and also make his eyes shift in rainbow colors just because that looks cool, etc. etc. etc.

I think, in Ataegina's case, the hero having the Father inside of him is more than enough. Making him *also* the reincarnation of the Good God is definitely excessive. But ah well, there's far, far worse sins a story can have, in my opinion, and so long as the author is having fun with it I don't really care.

In any epic story the only thing that you need is a sufficiently powerful enemy. The problem you are commenting happens when a character is made too fucking strong and then you cannot simply justify why is that character not simply overpowering everyone to get what they want.

This is particularly true in long stories, like avengers when thor, for example, has had several power ups only to not use them in the future.

MC at the moment has the potential to be very powerful, but both Ayna and Bredita (among many others) would totally destroy him without the support of those two powerful gods. He cannot yet fully access his powers.

And in fact the fact that he is "wielder" of two contradictory powers does not imply he is neither more powerful or less. It is simply what it is. What remains to see is who is going to be the MC's nemesis.

After all, a hero is only as legendary as the nemesis he defeats.

Man these jabs at the mc by Kat and Anya and everyone else get tiring fast.

I really really liked Kat, but the constant digs and jabs, every single effing scene with her is just too much.

Same with everyone treating him like an uncontrollable walking dildo... he says anything remotely nice or positive and some bitch has to turn it into a dig about him trying to get into her pants. It's tiring.

Kthulian is there some keyboard shortcut that turns the gui on or off? I don't mean the H to hide it all, but the eye, gold, heart etc. The only thing I have on the screen is the text box and quick menu.

agree with the jabs....too tiring...every 2 words Kat has to take a jab at MC..and what's worse now...Ayna seems to have started with that shit...
Not sure what was the purpose of doing that?

Can't wait for MC to master Necromancy under Bredita.

Actually, who am I kidding, mastering Necromancy can take a backseat as long as my MC can have the promised funsies time with her. :LOL::ROFLMAO:

Strange... The "EYE" is supposed to be the thing that hide the UI but then a "closed eye" remains to turn it on again. Must be some sort of bug
