My point was in regard to respecting his motives and the why of his getting his ass kicked. He was doing the right thing for the right reasons.
Right now, with no training MC could pretty realistically kill all of the sisterhood with relatively little trouble using his current powers. Were he of a mind to. And that's a big issue. Even besides having no combat training MC is simply reluctant to use his powers. He was started using them, and playing with them, even without actual combat training he'd be brutal to deal with. But he's not.
So yea. He can be respected, as a person. Which in a world full of people with powers, and not all of them good people, that at the start is by far the more important metric.
Like right now, as of the current release, MC would be unstoppable as a villain. He has time stopping powers and powers that give him eternal youth by swallowing sexual fluids, plus super strength.
He could easily go around stopping time and raping countless women to copy their powers, getting more and more powerful in what seems like an instant to the outside world.
But he's not doing any of that. He's only ever been throwing himself into danger for others.
He is worthy of respect. Worthy of being trained.
And you have to also realize, respect aside, the issue here is there are only two noble paths forward for MC.
- Gets taken in and trained by the sisterhood. Becomes a hero.
- Doesn't get taken in, and is deemed a worthless risk. Allows himself to be killed or imprisoned in a torture prison for life.
The secret third option, which only unlocks in the face of option 2 is to become an unstoppable villain or at least an antihero before anything bad happens him. Which is personally the one I'd go with. No way I'd just lie down and die.
Not saying I'd do the raping villain path I mentioned earlier, but I'd probably style myself after Magneto only killing MTF on sight.
