I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game Chapter 10 Discussion

A bit of a premature review but I have nothing to do so whatever

An excellent novel. The writing is pretty good, the plot...I haven't seen much of it but it seems decent. The MC is smart and rather resourceful. The side characters are likeable. One thing I particularly like about this novel is that it doesn't shy away from death, which makes sense considering how most action video games work in general. The death scenes somehow manage to work despite the fact that some characters die pretty much immediately after their introduction.

I have 1 singular complaint however. The MC.

Now this MC isn't 'bad'. I've seen far worse. He's among the top 40% at least. He's also not bland and, as I said before, fairly smart. Its more his character, or, well, personality, so to say that I don't like.

When characters die, he feels insane guilt, even when he knows there was literally NOTHING ELSE he could've done. It was either Option 1: They die or Option 2: Everyone dies and yet he whines and cries about it. Even when the people who dies he's literally only had 1 singular conversation with and some of them he doesn't even know.

He even feels bad for the game characters he sacrificed before being transmigrated when it is implied to him they aren't even real people and were just actual, inanimate, unliving, game characters

Maybe I'm just some kind of unfeeling monster but if it were me I wouldn't bat much of an eyelid.

When characters who he barely knows die he also loses all of his intelligence and becomes a bumbling fool.

There's gonna be a very minor spoiler down here so stop scrolling if you want to remain squeaky clean:

Theres this one time a few characters are dying, One of which he has talked to once and isn't on particularly good terms with. In a high-stakes situation, this f*cking moron screams 'STOOOOOOOOOOP'. Even when he knows the monsters are basically just robots obeying the leader's every command and that said leader can't even hear him.

How about you at least try to come up with a way to minimize any more losses instead of standing there shrieking?

Have you ever considered your allies are literally right beside you doing something that requires undivided attention and that if they get distracted and fail everyone will die?

He also has this ret*rded philosophy where since they share the same body, everything the previous owner did is also his responsibility and some kind of sin that he must bear.
