In short terms, many of us see it as Nyx drops the ball with Erynn very early on and pretty much continues doing so.You seem to be under the misapprehension that I do not like Erynn. This is not the case. I like her quite a bit, in fact. I merely have an issue with how she is being used in the story. My claims are only my impressions of the situation and you can agree or disagree as you choose. But she is not being used to her full potential. She is positioned as more of an original sin than a chance at redemption. A discarded, half-eaten apple. She set the plot in motion, but she is not the plot. She is certainly not the protagonist, other than in the sense that we are all the heroes of our own story. MC rather successfully moved on from her to have other more fulfilling relationships with varying degrees of success, but Erynn is used and misused as a sitcom misunderstanding who stumbles into the apartment like Kramer in Seinfeld to introduce the complication.
I do not refute what you have to say but I do take issue with your language toward me and others when it comes to my comprehension of English. I am a native English speaker who has a degree in English literature and a Masters's degree in Creative Writing and Poetics. I have taught English composition at the university level. Simply because I have come to a different conclusion than you with the same available information does not mean I cannot understand language. It simply means we are engaging in a critical discourse about a creative work. It was very unbecoming of you to say that about the other posters as well. I would like it if you would apologize, especially to those for whom English is not their first language because they admirably put in the time to learn a second one. If you cannot be civil, it will not be worthwhile to discuss anything with you on this thread.
Has been an issue with many about Erynn for who knows how long now.
Was my biggest gripe with friends about this VN last year when we had our group viewing/watch-over VN events.
