At the time the MC ran away from kidnappers they just knew that Dad was kidnapped, but not by whom.
I think most normal people with an ounce of self preservation and concern for their family would indeed act differently.
He wanted to learn about the Alfar, and if possible open up dialogues after he learned that the Kidnapping of his father and the attack on him weren't connected, And what plan do you expect ? He is acting all at his own, and he did this encouraged by a Valkyre, If he tells either Kaija or his Mother they would not let him go.
Go talk to people who have discovered their family has been lying to them about something really important for a long time. The last place they want to be is with those lying to them. Been there and everyone else I've met in the same boat has had the same view. But what do I know. You're the one who speaks for "most normal people." Moving on.
Nothing worse than finding out a loved one has lied or betrayed you. It doesn't even matter what it was.
Yeah, that was the idea I'm sure, but it makes no sense in retrospect given the Alfar penchant for exact wording shenanigans. I could see the Templars jumping to conclusions about the Alfar being behind the MC's kidnapping, but the notion that they'd trust the MC's safety without concrete promises is ridiculous. Eric tells us "They gave their word not to act until the negotiations on Friday have been held," but that's worth less than nothing unless you force them to spell out precisely who "they" are and what "act" means in this context. That should have given the game away then and there.
Yeah mate, it changes you hey.
At this point I don't know if you just enjoy throwing dirt in the fan, It is Hilda who talks there ! not Medb, and they are suposing, and making assumptions, as far as I know, in the inmediate next chapter, Medb makes her entrance,
I would assume so, but then again I would assume a nearly successful kidnapping attempt out of the blue would also change you. This MC never misses an opportunity to complain about his family lying to him, but he never acts like someone who had a brush with his own mortality. It does paint him as a rather immature person, not helped in the slightest in Chapter 6 by him steadfastly ignoring everything but his bizarrely passive job right after ranting about bringing justice to Finnabair's killer.
I mean ... it fits his looks, would be more suprising if he doesnt kinda behave like a moron.
I have no counter to Ch6. It was basically a filler episode thrown in. At a pretty bad time too considering what happened before it. Killed a lot of mood and other things in the story. Needs to be a way to integrate Li interactions in the main plot better so that full stop gap chapters like this aren't needed.
Yeah while the slice of life / date part was the best part of ch 6 and why it's my favorite update so far. But that's only cause I tend to favor character interactions over story even if it's a game I play more for the story like this game. The lack of story progression made it feel a little disappointing to me. If there was just a little bit of story elements to the update ( besides the end of it) would of been a perfect. Then yeah the MC not going to Neverwhere with his sword legit made me facepalm even if it took longer to get to Jess he should of known he would stand no chance without a weapon a magical one at that.
Yeah you worded it better than me, fully agree.
mostly true. though this is not a VN of a MC merc with tons of life experience and complete understanding of the world around them. its a story of a young adult. the MC figuring out what he wants to do with his life. immature, more like inexperienced and making choices out of emotion. MC thrown into a world of chaos that he was apparently born into, we should expect him to make tons of mistakes, and as we watch the story progress, we get to watch him learn about the world he was unknowingly apart of, but also grow and change, along the paths we get to choose for him
A bunch of people just tried to kill him and his dad was kidnapped. His butthurt 3 year old toddler fee fee's being hurt is a bit out of place and anybody who's grown up and cares about their dad or their own life won't wander out of the house and get killed by another hit squad.
Agreed, this story doesn't know what it wants to be. It's an odd mix of an office romance drama and a hero's journey.
I think the initial reaction after the reveal about people around him is being blown up a bit past what was shown in game. His reaction was the gut reaction he has after hearing the revelations but remember, he did calm down and deal with getting his dad back before revisiting his thoughts about the others in his life. I'd agree with the sentiment about him being said more if he was throwing a tantrum and burning bridges before he could secure his dad, but he doesn't get the option to do that until after so it's not like he lost all perspective.
I was referring to Medb's statement that they dont use mercs.
Well, he did just dump all of his savings to get some prime xeno princess pussy, so back to the grind for him, there are bills to pay.
