AlexZandria Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 The definition of "badass" and "realistic enviroments" around here makes me want to cry. FYI, 90% of visual novel characters do not meet majority of the basic criteria for one to be called a badass and in most cases, they are DEFINATELY not main characters. All girls school with 1 guy in it # realism. In all reality I think it is hard to get a truly badass MC. That would be because a badass MC is uncompromising. In a VN witch choices it just doesn't work that way. Honestly the most badass MC I know would be the guy from Hadaka Shitsuji because when you decide not to be badass you get sent home early or you get a bad end. Then again Hadaka Shitsuji is a yaoi about a guy who takes up a temporary position as master in a mansion and degrades/rapes butlers for a month. The lack of realism in it made it a good read for yaoi fans despite the main themes but most VN readers on forums like this are guys so it isn't the best of eroge recommendations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or any of the other vns I recommended, there are not 1 guy 10 girls following any of those characters and they all behave like normal people, no super powers or anything, specially Renji.

I've been avoiding Sharin no Kuni for a lot of different reasons honestly, and I'll probably continue to avoid it because a badass MC can't make up for all of the things that made me cringe the first time I looked into the title. I might look into Grisaia when the official translation comes out if it gets good reviews, but I'm avoiding it until Sekai Project finishes it because I'd rather pay for my VNs if possible and I doubt I'd play the game more than once. Other than that I've actually had Swan Song on my list of games to play but you couldn't pay me to pick up a title like Planetarian or Muv-Luv because (besides the fact I can't stand Key's art) I won't knowingly touch anything pertaining to "space" or "mecha".

It looks like you have some prejudice against some vns and maybe with a litle more info you will actually like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tears To Tiara = The protag has cults worshiping him at the start as the bringer of the apocalypse, if that gives you an idea.

yorikbad Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Nikola Tesla is real badass character from https://vndb.org/v11033. He's practically invincible and one of the main reason I've read the VN to the very end. Though he's not the main hero of the story, he's a part of duet.

WinterfuryZX Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Why people are so attached to the usual subpar Mary Sue MC such as Kenichi Morita an the likes? (sharin is great despite him) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(sharin is great despite him) People so often confuse "strong protagonist" with "Mary Sue". The definition of a Mary Sue is a character who does no wrong, and excels at everything they do despite not having earned that distinction in any way (read: author self-insert). Kazami Yuuji from Grisaia and Kenichi Morita from Sharin no Kuni are not Mary Sues. Both characters have paid their dues: endured incredible loss and hardship, gone through years of rigorous, brutal and often cruel training, and have emerged as capable characters for it. However, both are not infallible. There are times when they make mistakes, and sometimes those missteps end up costing them dearly. Not to mention that both are still struggling to live as a "normal" person, with their past trauma proving an impediment in their day to day activities. In short: your protagonist doesn't need to be a limp-wristed effeminate pansy in order to be a compelling character. In fact, it's usually the opposite, since the former is all too common in visual novels. Edited December 21, 2016 by antherus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
