Wow… Like, I get not liking female characters in stories like these since it just feels more like fanservice and doesn’t add to the plot and feel more ostentatious than anything, but compared to most I’ve read, these characters are actually pretty good? And the way the plot is handled is actually pretty interesting? Apart from Vikir, the characters aren’t super duper fleshed out but they have more dimension than I expected them to have and I actually enjoy them. I’m not sure how much more they’ll delve into the Saintess’s character, and the lovestruck direction is not helping, but I’m actually pretty curious to see how she develops because it really looks like she has potential, same with Camus, and I’m actually pretty excited to see Aiyen again eventually- I was even half expecting her to tag along and not staying in the forest despite everything. Perhaps this will be a harem, or open ending with the romance, but I actually like the female characters in this one- well, minus sinclair… peeped spoilers abt the identity of the corpse and honestly that makes me more excited for when Camus eventually returns to the story and her reaction- even though I can imagine her simple minded hot headedness will likely have her acting like she has tunnel vision, i still cant help but hope for her to have to reflect and think more deeply about her actions and the world around her so she can grow from a girl to the hero that Vikir is always referencing from his memories. The fact she’s been so absent yet such a strong presence in the story despite everything makes me so excited, just how like Aiyen is now absent but any mentions of “Barbarians” cant help but remind me of the sweet time Vikir spent with the village. In turn, this also makes wonder how the Saintess is going to achieve this level of relevancy story wise as she gets more focus. She may develop feelings for Vikir, but she’s definitely not on his radar like Camus and Aiyen currently are at this point in the story, still couldnt care less for sinclair though.
