I find WVM's MC as a welcoming refreshing change of pace from all the other games where majority of the MCs are either The Creeper who sneaks around & molest people while they sleep; The Average Plain Guy who's mundane life suddenly changes due to divine intervention or mind controlling powers and suddenly surrounded by women without a solid good reason, or just plain incompetent. Doesn't look like a 12-year-old/effeminate boy, isn't scrawny & shorter than all the girls or looks like some college frat dude-bro (
Well he's faceless, so that helps ). Or a combination of all the things i mentioned.
WVM MC being portrayed as a competent person who has something good & successful going his way from the start of the story is very rare to see in these games. Which i give big thanks Braindrop for successfully sharing his story and giving us a new way to portray MCs in these games we all enjoy.
A talented person on his own merits with a brighter future ahead, who's a nice & mature guy too and not a heartless scumbag (
Yes a nice person having things go their way for once. "Shocker! ").
So it shouldn't come as a surprise that people will gravitate towards MC, being popular with the ladies and dudes too
as star athletes are generally popular with everybody and are treated as celebrities like successful actors & singers. In story context, MC the #1 basketball prospect recruit chooses to play for the lowest ranked college team basically making him a big fish in a small pond, a big celebrity around campus. A lucky guy to have a sweet angel of a girlfriend like Jamie who happily share him with other pretty sexy women and even encouraging MC to romance & court said other women into his ever-growing new family & love nest. Pretty sexy women like his best-friend Shauna, Jamie's spicy yet sweet sister Elizabeth, the loving & giving Jasmine, shy but eager Natalie and gentle-hearted Stacy and much more sexy ladies
. Plus there's that gigolo/baby-making deal side-gig MC got going on with Rachael and her sexy clients
.
The further the story goes you'd see the MC isn't "too perfect" person (
Outside his Happy Harem and Inner Circle ). Mr Nice Guy, one could argue that MC is kind/nice to a fault as MC has a habit of not saying "No" to helping people, helping too many at the same time and ultimately tiring himself out and being too trusting, then have so-called friend spying on you. Had a rough upbringing dealing with family separation, memory loss from a head injury, adoption & identity issues of said things. There where people/students conspiring behind MC and attempting to greatly harm him. Which led to higher authorities at the college using their power to make it up to him & make peace for their mismanagement that almost got him badly injured. Besides doing the right thing, MC's also a hot commodity for their college, so it's a given they go all out for him.
Also, I don't self-insert myself into the MCs neither when playing these games. If anything, i'd see myself as an assist in MC's inner mind or invisible spirit helping MC on his journey. I don't need them to be relatable to me to enjoy the story and be entertained.
But hey that's how i interpreted the game.
