Oh, trust me, even for someone who's primary kink includes male domination, there is only so much of this "man of few words" I can take. I don't really think it's a drastic change, as the MC in my memory has always been this way. Maybe it got more pronounced, but like the main issue I always had with this VN was the extremely stilted dialogue and "matter of fact" writing. That's not just in regards to the MC either. Pretty much every single character speaks in this way, more often than not.That's not really a good explanation, considering he dismisses everyone around him.
Sharon: "Hey, how about we..."
PC: "Sure sure *pat pat*. Now back to your paperwork. I'm busy actually progressing the story and you're not really a part of that anymore, because you already joined the harem. Sucks to suck on my flaccid vamp dick."
Laurie: "... =("
PC: "You're fine!" *clinteastwoodface*
Would be pretty nice, if this was actually established in the story somewhere. We already have the foreshadowing from Sharon, as you mentioned, but things don't really line up and Sharon's lessons are all but forgotten it seems like. The first two episodes really had a very different vibe and the shift is pretty obvious, when playing from the beginning again.
To me it seems like the PC was always supposed to be a daddy dom power fantasy. The problem is that, if you're not into that, you're probably frustrated by the lack of (or sudden jump in) character progression and how every other major character got sidelined heavily. But if you're into the daddy dom harem thing, then every explanation for it is probably good enough, because you're enjoying yourself anyway.
For example, the PC started talking in short pointed sentences and implied headpats, because his low generation vampire powers made his jaw grow into Chad proportions, so it's difficult for him to talk without letting his chin hit the floor. Trust me, it's in the lore.
The amount of times he goes "I know." like a true anime protagonist with light-up glasses, probably to come across as badass, is pretty cringe. Because we know that that's not even true, when he knows as much as we (the players) do. But it gets annoying, when he ends up being right anyway, because anything else would take away from the power fantasy and we can't have that for some reason.Oh, trust me, even for someone who's primary kink includes male domination, there is only so much of this "man of few words" I can take.

Tbh, it's not that this type of MC is inherently crappy, but it needs to be handled with finesse to actually make him "cool" instead of coming off as someone completely full of himself, especially when the story takes itself this seriously.

I expect him to act like he cares about his childhood friend. She is dying and in pain and he is making cringe mommy jokesHis friend went into that cave against his advice. That she got out even if she had to be turned to survive is the best outcome possible given the circumstances. Particularly when older and more experienced vampires did not.
What do you expect him to do? Cry over it? His friend is coping, Sharon is at least keeping some eye on her and he has other things on his plate.
Exactly, it's like he became someone else. He has 0 empathy for everyone and treats them like background characters at best, it was weird to see. Also you can be a dom and not be an absolute dickhead.That's not really a good explanation, considering he dismisses everyone around him.

Yes the mc had this vibe from the start but there was actually more to him. He cared for people around and he didn't walk around like his shit don't stink and actually listened to other people but now...Oh, trust me, even for someone who's primary kink includes male domination, there is only so much of this "man of few words" I can take.

I don't even mind the power fantasy but atleast add something to it. The MC is just cringe now that I can't even take him seriously or find anything he does cool and get hyped about it.The amount of times he goes "I know." like a true anime protagonist with light-up glasses, probably to come across as badass, is pretty cringe. Because we know that that's not even true, when he knows as much as we (the players) do. But it gets annoying, when he ends up being right anyway, because anything else would take away from the power fantasy and we can't have that for some reason.
We're at a point in the game, where characters are starting to get killed off and their entire arcs end up being disappointing, because nobody but the PC is allowed to have any plot relevance. I dare anyone to go back to the first episodes and tell me how the current infantilized version of Sharon is supposed to fit her character in any way.
And all the explanations for why he's so great are literally from discussions out of game. The only indication that he's different from other vamps in game is the fact that he's got multiple abilities, but we don't even get to use those, so I don't see how the PC has supposedly proven himself. It's stolen Chad valor, like a fake botox butt chin.
Come on Guy's it's as if you were suffering from EMOTIONAL DAMAGEYes the mc had this vibe from the start but there actually more to him. He cared for people around and he didn't walk around like his shit don't stink and actually listened to other people but now...

it's strange that you focus on one attempt at levity in an entire scene full of sentences where he's clearly trying to comfort her and ease her into what is now her fate. He was there at her side explaining each step of the process and continually trying to reassure her she will be fine afterwards.I expect him to act like he cares about his childhood friend. She is dying and in pain and he is making cringe mommy jokes
