I don't think I've ever played a game where the protagonist was such a miserable, whiny pussy.
I'm reading this RN & I couldn't agree more; this sequel has been... a chore to go through honestly. 90% of the writing is about Robin lamenting himself, saying how pathetic he is & wanting to die, I mean, it's understandable considering the fucked up stuff that happened in the 1st game, but seeing the same pettiness over & over again is tedious, tiring...
Plus, it seems the author tried to "humanise" Bell, by making her have her own friends, telling dumb, funny stories to Sally (which she doesn't really care about), etc. So far, it's been a disappointing sequel, albeit, I think it's like they say "if it's not broken, don't fix it"; that's precisely what happened at the end of the 1st game (the ending was perfect, depressing & fucked up, but basically it had wrapped things up, leaving the rest for the reader's imagination).
