Which type of ruler would you rather read or watch about, a ruler who starts off strong (more or less a great king or queen! ex. Gilgamesh from FGO: Babylonia) or a ruler who has absolutely no resolve in the beginning but eventually becomes just as great?
Probably the latter, with the first it really depends on what they narratively do with that because it could be interesting, could be boring. I think at least the latter has a pre baked arc to it. reply
