@Ugandaragon@rmaoxd@ElijahSchacher Its perfectly fine to like MT and I even enjoyed most of reading the complete trainwreck, but treating the series like peak fiction is insane because it's ultimately just getting away with trying to trick people into thinking Rudeus actually did anything to overcome his flaws.
@Ugandaragon@rmaoxd@ElijahSchacher Rudeus' reincarnation is just an opportunity for him to do everything he wanted to do while staying, fundamentally, the same person he was in the first LN's intro โ but now he is strong and has cool magic giving him the ability to actualize his desires instead of just cranking it
@Ugandaragon@ElijahSchacher The pushback falls flat when the end result is "okay well you have to make sure you have lots of hot steamy sex with all of us."
@Ugandaragon@ElijahSchacher Ok well unfortunately the narrative implicitly approves of Rudeus marrying a child that he explicitly set out to groom, cheating on his wife, and grooming and having sex with another child. Rudeus' ultimate rewards is getting to have three wives, two of which he met as children.
@KanikouEstellia@EmetEnjoyer27 This is, of course, purely speculative; the devs "nuking plugins" seems beyond unlikely given how things have gone in the past.
@KanikouEstellia@EmetEnjoyer27 Unfortunately for a chunk of players it's less "exploit is gone now I have to [action I perceive as wasting time]" and instead "I can't double weave without clipping anymore so the game sucks to play."
Granted, they could fix the way that animation locks work, but they won't.
