I wonder why authors keep presenting MCs as smart, strategic and composed in the first chapters, just for it to crumble into mistakes after mistakes. Him only caring about revenge makes sense but he keeps putting himself into situations he can’t handle and acting surprised. And he acts like he knows people and how they work but then get swayed by every little thing, Still I quite like him and the story is interesting. It’s just that I’m not afraid for him but rather I’m waiting for him to see the consequences of his continuous mistakes because I understand what kind of MC we’re dealing with. You know like in horror movies people being mad at the characters for going into dangerous places and telling them “nooo don’t go there”, I’m the type to say “yes please do fuck around and find out because you won’t learn otherwise.”
