A lot of things bug me about peoples hype over M/sh/k/, but I think the main thing I can't stand is how everyone raves about the protagonist's character development.
If y'all want a protagonist that isn't a gross creep and shows some powerful character growth, just read and/or watch The Twelve Kingdoms. The surrounding cast of characters are fascinating in their own right too, but the protagonist especially goes through some shit. And it's interesting watching a docile girl change into someone harsh, cold and fragile, to growing into herself again and more.
#much better writing#w/o a lolicon protagonist#and w/o a writer that thinks slavery is okay#because you can't convince me that's not what that twitter thread was#anyway! i just see so much of both lately#i'm glad to see twelve kingdoms being celebrate for its anniversary#but that other series popularity disturbs me#i'm not surprised about its main/target crowd#because they are on the rise more than ever#in numbers and prominence!#sadly!#but we have kodansha to blame too for catering so happily and eagerly#i'm sure why#but please give series like twelve kingdoms more attention!#the views on streaming services and trying to buy copies when you can or from a library#be very loud about it actually lol
