How is it not fun to read about someone who is a bad person doing bad things? Always Sunny in Philadelphia has a whole cast of people who are despicable people, and a lot of people love that show. And if the author says that they intended Eugene to be the way he is, then what? You'll just say, oh, okay, bye then? How do you not eventually make the assumption that Eugene is probably not somebody you should think is a good person? He shows a clear lack of respect for Phil's agency and is clearly just doing this because he wants to watch people grow and get bigger, (LIKE HOW EVERYONE PLAYING THIS NOVEL WANTS TO). He does not need to be a good person, nor does he need to be relatable. Entertaining, yes, compelling, yes to that as well, but not relatable. That should not be a deal breaker for you.

And why are you assuming that I'm downvoting you? I don't need to do something like that to get my point across or anything like that. It's probably somebody else, idk. Why would you even point that out?

And no, I don't believe this story should really be taken that seriously because I believe that it's not meant to be serious and nor should it be.

And yes, I think that you are wrong, but you're putting words in my mouth when you say that I told you that you are stupid. No, I did not, I told you that what you were proposing seemed to be wrong, from my POV.

Oh, shit, sorry, I thought you were the one downvoting me ^^; Huh, they're downvoting almost everyone, actually.... Must be a troll.

And for me, it's not fun reading about bad people doing bad things because there's more than enough of that in real freaking life. Yes, we want to watch people grow, but I don't want to have it happen to them because some crazy maniac is thrusting the growth onto them. I want it to be a TINY bit more nuanced. I'm not asking for something deep, I just want it to be a little fuller than it is. I personally don't find Eugene to be very entertaining as things are right now.

I'm sorry if you thought I was putting words in your mouth; that's why I said "sounds like".

That's okay, I just don't like when people assume wrongly about my words on the internet, even though I understand that conveying certain things on the internet is far more difficult than over the phone or in person and my intention was not to insult you or anything like that. But personally, I just think that as long as he is somebody like Jack Horner or Handsome Jack, I'd be fine with him being a bad person doing bad things. And going by the story, that's probably what is going to happen with the introduction of the beach place, where he can find more people that he can grow and get into more wacky shenanigans.
