how boring. this story bad so much potential but dante does not act like someone with the maturity of whats implied to be hundreds of years of life. how is he so naive and weak? if he doesnt try to kill himself with the fork itll be my last straw with this dumb ass story. the writing is so boring and predictable
Tbf Dante is highly traumatised from being tortured when he was a kid for a long time. Sure, he may be old as fuck but he most likely has CPTSD and I say this as someone who does have CPTSD. It's PTSD's meaner, nastier older sibling in that you get it from being repeatedly exposed to traumatic events over a relatively short time for humans (like a few months to a decade) and it can really fuck up your development/maturity. I'm pretty sure most world war soldiers had CPTSD but we didn't understand trauma back then like we do today. To me, it makes a lot of sense that Dante acts like a child at times, he never got to finish his childhood properly because he was stuck in a church being tortured from when he was a kid to who knows how old (i dont remember if its stated how old he was when he escaped the church)
i kinda get that but at the same time its implied hes so old he doesnt even remember most of his life. it gets to a point where several hundred years of life should overrule something like ptsd. im talking about things like him just believing demis about shit like him saying he saved his life because itd be suspicious, as if that makes any sense. he doesnt seem to fight back at all anymore and his motivations seem weak despite how adamant the author wants us to think he is about dying. but he acts like a naive child with zero life experience and his personality doesn’t match one of what appears to be an ancient being. i think its just bad writing honestly. hes just not checked out enough for me to believe hes lived so long he would commission of necropheliac to murder him. like he just randomly forgot how insane demis is and dropped his guard. youd think hed lived long enough to be wary around these kinds of people
Fair enough, there are points where his writing truly is weak but for the most part imo his actions make sense with him having CPTSD in mind. I'm 19 but my memory is really fucked up because of my CPTSD, I can't make new memories properly so I tend to act younger than I actually am as from the past 5 or so years I only have about a month or 2 at most worth of memories. From my own experience, to me it makes sense why Dante is so stupid at times despite his grandpa age but I agree it gets so stupid sometimes I facepalm. Also its necrophiliac, the more cursed things you know!☆











hopefully the artist took some anatomy classes while on break
