Some people strongly dislike the NLT protagonists in general. Just some time ago people were requesting that William fuckface here have sex with ToN girls just to spite Henry
I think Brad from LE was by far the worst of them all. People don't talk much about him, probably because of nostalgia, "everything was better, the story, the protag"... but Brad was the most manipulative creep of them, a trait that the two fuckfaces in the sequels don't share (at least not as much).
I like William's design, he looks older than the previous protags. He did dumb stuff in the storyline (the sex tape incident), but I don't hate his guts.
