Since I'm triggered the same way @Faptime is, I may have to sit out a few episodes and see if this is my cup of tea when the story is more fully developed.
More fully developed and changed from that version.
I'm happy that there's less "mind wipe your child every time something magical occurs" but still, what kind of parent abandons their child to the "tender" care of the headmaster and Lilith when something happens that alarms and scares their child. Fuck that. You do not leave your 18 year old son that's the first male to exhibit magical ability in 150 years to these two women. I don't care how much Mom and Mom trust them, your SON does not know them and you're just going to leave them to it? Not going to happen.
It's nice that we don't render the MC unconscious so Lilith can get the sample, none the less, nothing about this indicates a sperm sample actually tells them anything.
And of course, lack of agency, you have to go with the dryads, they can see the future so there's no sense in battling them because they already know what we will do. That creates it's own problem. If someone (well, anyone) can accurately predict the future and say what your actions will be, then all the sudden free will doesn't exist and *something* has predestined what will happen so you don't get to decide anything.
*sigh* Somehow I still like this game despite these problematic starting points, and really I don't know that I can come up with a different path this should take that doesn't involve the MC being screwed over my his parents and then by his school without impacting the plot and giving the MC more power in the situations than he should have. Maybe it is okay for me to be angry (from the MC's perspective) about these injustices without needing to remove these injustices. Maybe just some script changes afterward to let the MC and those that wrong him acknowledge what they fucked up and apologize for doing things that are clearly unfair to the MC?
