The game shows a lot of promise, and there is one scene in particular that I think is worth highlighting.
I see a lot of people have grown disdain for human protagonists who throw tantrums and complain about their situation but this game… made this work?…
This might be a bit of a spoiler, but in the end of the last update it is revealed that the way for MC to go home is cut off… all the while he was already mentally prepared to go home right away that instant.
Naturally MC throws a fit (I mean who wouldn’t?) and he felt such despair and hatred that it awakened his superpowers he was about to use to attack a foxman — a reason for his misfortunes, while Agnarr jumps to the foxman defense.
Thankfully, the conflict did not escalate further, and afterwards both MC and Agnarr reconcile and apologize to one another — MC for lashing out and unleashing superpowers he didn’t even know he had, and Agnarr for nearly hurting him even thought he promised he will be protecting him.
I thought this scene was worth highlighting for two reasons.
First off — it's lowkey brilliant as it accomplishes multiple things at once: it lets MC to be human and demonstrates the flaws he should be working on, it establishes the fact he has superpowers, conditions under which they activated and it moves MC’s relationship with Agnarr forward.
And second — not only it highlights the fact that MC’s like these can work, but also how *exactly* made them work, and I really wish other writers who write furry-isekais would set this scene as an example.
Bloody brilliant. Also thanks for listening to my ted talk.
