Am I? My position has been that Orion's behavior towards Nova didn't come out from nowhere, that there were moments in the story where his negative aspects sometimes come to light and are a product of goals that you dismissed as "throwaway lines" when they show consistency of character. Just because they don't highlight it as well as you personally like like the LI events (because gods forbid a porn AVN tries to focus on the buildup towards the porn) doesn't mean they're not there.Okay, it's over the top clear that you're completely ignoring the entire premise of what I say and straw manning your way again and again. The MC gloating to Garrington is not proof of his ego and arrogance dwarfing his involvement with his harem. You keep posting and citing examples of him being cocky, not his cockiness overshadowing his ties with his harem. You're frantically trying to shift the goal posts and straw man your way through, pretending that I'm claiming that the MC doesn't have an ego. That's not what I said and the lines you throw up don't make MC ditching the date unilaterally and suddenly taking Nova for granted any less jarring. I'm done repeating myself with you. There clearly is no point.
It remains true until stated otherwise. It's shown to still be true when Orion decided to either use his name or take an alias back in 0.6.That is not a requirement for character arcs and progression. Often, the stated wants aren't the actual wants of characters. Very often, in fact. You're acting as if the stated wants at the start of a story are always true and only change after a character crashes and burns. That's simply not true, and plenty of character arcs don't conform to that formula.
You're the one who said that Orion is constantly stringed along by the girls in their adventures as if he doesn't have agency or purpose or being watched by various factions/major characters with their own vested interests, not me.What does the Syndicate have to do with anything I've said? Are you just grasping at straws now? And you know that the MC doesn't remember any of his dreams, right? You've picked up on that?
