>>10152631>due to that single event, no matter how major it was, he just sort of ascends and does a complete 180Not immediately. That destroys his relationship with Emilia and he spends the next couple episodes acting in the same way he had, thinking everything would work out by doing the bare minimum. Terrible shit happens, he fails/dies several times, THEN there's a whole episode with him reflecting on what happened and deciding to change.
Also I feel it is fairly well-integrated. He is written at the beginning in such a way that he wouldn't question his actual contribution to his successes (he has no life experience after all), he only sees the results.
>making characters that just appeal to a certain demographic is always much easier than making complex and multifaceted ones, the kind of characters that cannot be analysed outside of the piece's context.I see where you're coming from but not everything merits that kind of approach.
