I think what we are lacking here is the development of his feelings for her which makes us feel unattached to him. He fell in love with her in a pervious save file and through some sort of magic bullshit, now remembers that old timeline in this new one. Because of that, we don't see their relationship progress, which while an interesting concept, does mean we barely know who he is outside of his love for her. I do wonder if he will be the ML though because we have so much going on in her real life. My theory is that maybe people who are really poor and considered worthless by society are plugged into this game and made to be npcs and perhaps the mind wipe didn't work for the duke and the other lady when the game reset (likely done by the anti-government faction to win MC over). So I suppose he is a real person that she will then dedicate to save in the real world which would make him infinitely more interesting
That's honestly a good take. If your theory comes true, all bragging rights to you. It's also worthy to consider that we mostly only get her perspective of the scenario. But, I still dislike his archetype and that's difficult to change even with backstory. Unless the writer is exceptionally skilled, but that's so few and far in between.
Though, it does make me wonder how the IRL scenario will end. I feel like for her to survive in the end, someone from the higher tier society will have to help her, not the other way around. She can barely survive in reality as it is.
Yeah I get it, his type is kinda boring when there are so many of him but much better written. I don't necessarily feel much for him or for any of the characters besides her, but I do think that again comes from seeing the world through her lives. Her indifference to everything is giving us the audience an indifference which is both impressive but also not great when you want us to like characters outside of her. I do like the mc, though, and this plot is super unique, so I'm hoping as she gets more of a zest for life, the other characters will come to life along with it
That would actually be so cool ヾ(☆▽☆) I really hope that’s what happens lol
It's interesting so far. I prefer the scifi reality over the fantasy game, but it's nice that the two sides kind of are parallel to each other in resemblance.
...... But I'm sorry Illya is boring af. I hope he's not ML. I'm so tired of these 1-dimensional same-samey duke of the norths whose only personality is being a simp.
