I just don't get Kinus content. I just recently learned of the second part of her quest, where you have to talk to komari first I think then can talk to kinu again. So your daughter, and also a BIG DEAL to the kitsune, who timeline wise was recently attacked, along with her entire family, by a entire group that apparently got past a gods protection and proceeded to yeet fire all over your home a few hours or so until people noticed, proceeds to travel cross continent with KOHAKU and what seem to be 5 or 6 farmers-with-pitchforks level guards. You've got people like kurako, golem maker fox that's abandonware, miko and mai, or I dunno, NAKANO?
*SPOILERS*
So kinu gets jumped, by the same people, kohaku and the farmers suffer a coma, a fatality and severe wounds from a single wave, then kinu commands them to run away. So man with rapier talks about taoth and wanting to rape her rapidly, and then basically is a nano second from killing her but they write in a "actually her shoulder touched the teleport so she's k". Afterward, when your character starts trying to say anything about defending her more, it basically boils down to her saying she's a strong independent woman who is very close to learning the power of friendship and a training arc. Nakano would have had a moment to have really shone if he'dve been the one that stayed with her/ saved her after she told kohaku to flee, and he received injuries in her place or some such, and they wouldntve needed a more blatant deus ex machina but anyway. So taoth is what was originally going to be the "evil" kitsune route stemming from when you first take the amulet, there was going to be a whole route where you sided with him instead but apparently nobody wanted to write it or it took effort or something. Main thing though is taoth is essentially god-level, or at minimum kasyrras level. So keros apparently is letting a foreign dark god randomly attack his people, kill them, maim them, siege a home of his direct descendants under his protection, he doesn't inform you, who could be his champion at this point, he doesn't inform his priestesses, he doesn't inform kiyoko, he doesn't directly interfere, they didn't give kinu any guards worth a crap, and both times she only wasn't violated or slowly tortured to death from sheer luck.
So imo it's stupid on multiple levels, that she's just a solo DND power fantasy, that nobody in the den seems to care, that keros is doing jack-all while a enemy god supposedly from kas' dimension and his cult does whatever in his domain, that her fiance, at least one of which is a turbo samurai fanboy apparently let her go cross continent on her own after she's already been a target while he whines and writes crap poetry, and also that taoth, who is at minimum a second or third endgame-level antagonist, is going to be dealt with most likely by a solo kinu becoming a anime level power fantasy while the main character just listens to her stories while sitting in the corner. Edit: OH YEAH I forgot, for bonus points MALLACH via river is the one to directly interfere to ensure her safety at the end.
. Just so weird how one person can have their head stuck in the ground that deep. I imagine he doesn't do much self-reflection in general.
