Hi JustaOneGirl,

Thank you so much letting us know about your MC! I'm glad that Samuel's comment about the MC dietary preferences was meaningful for you, as I think he's the only one who really asks the MC about this. As a very religious person himself, he's considerate of such things. I can't say it was intentional on my part tbh, but I'm glad that you felt the  freedom to include this aspect of your character by your own choice. 

I give a few teasing or blunt options but I don't think I bother with flat our mean or malicious options, as that would be too story breaking imo. I don't think the cast of ADW would follow and protect the MC as much as they do if the MC was an abusive tyrant. Like if the MC called them a dog, I think they'd probably leave the guild. These are all adult characters, so they are mostly mature enough to work through differences but there's a limit to when it comes to flat out disrespect. For this reason, I'm not sure that I like games that have good vs evil paths, as they are just too polarized/extreme for my tastes. I'd be making two different games, and that's a lot of work. Plus I just have a heard time writing pure evil characters as even my 'villain' characters are not so stark imo.

It's interesting that you mentioned the comments about the MC seeming calm. In my mind I picture the player sitting at a computer looking at cute sprites and dice, rather than jumping up and down shouting excitedly as someone might if they were in the midst of a life and death battle. I wasn't intended to say the MC is a stoic personality but rather they were unusual in their perception of battle. But perhaps some players are able to immerse themselves more fully than I thought. I'll try to keep that in mind. I was suprised that some people find losing harsh, even though there is not a game over penality like there is in a lot of RPGs. I hope losing doesn't feel too bad, as the companions do show some discontent but they are also accepting that battle is not always ideal. They are tenacious enough to handle the occasional defeat, so feel free to let them toughen up a bit LOL. I do have a list of randomized losing battle dialogue in every dungeon for that purpose anyway~

Again, I love your drawing of Lor with your MC reading together all cute and cozy in ADW:GD~ I hope the two can cheer each other on!

Helloo! thank you for the reply >w<  ım actually fine with fantasy games being fantasy like away from reality or religious things since thats also why ı dont really put literally myself as MC but my alternative version that would fit the fantasy world better. I truly hate tyrant characters as they have nothing you could sympathize with so even before leaving that game with extreme choices ı was doing my best to ignore that mean options. Tbh ı really love ADW's vallain characters as a player though ıf ı would look in the eyes of MC ı guess ı would like to stay away from them lol. but being a player lets me to think about their actions in objective way (sometimes ı feel like a detective trying to understand their nature) which helps me to love them as characters. ı also find guild member's actions towards possible tyrant MC is fair as aslo in real life no sane and mature person would be with someone who sees them as an object of use. 

as for MC's calmness ı guess once ı read the start of the story ı simply accepted that MC got isekaid in a fantasy world and whatever will happen there will affect them too like MC suddenly got involved in a very huge story and their success will determine their fate. this was how ı saw the whole story's logic and imagined them staying behind of the fight and watching the guild members clashing with enemy side while also checking the dices  to see whatever their guild member will win or not (ı didnt exactly thought about location but decided that they just exist above the people's head while they are fighting) because of this was how ı imagined these whole thing ıt made me feel like ı should go on a winning spree XD though the reason ı took these fights seriously is because of ı tried to empathize with the MC's situation and how could they possibly feel in this situation but of course my perfectionist side also has a good impact on this decision. But ı have to admit that ıt slowed me down in certain degree as ı was filming the game for my friends who prefers watching over playing (even ıf ıts visual novel) ı realized that ı fought agaisnt that Hydra for one and half hour just because ı was keep quick saving and loading to win. of course ı edited my painful fight and made it alot faster so ıt was just a 8-9 minutes in the video. this is also why ı also want to try to ''no quick save/load'' challenge for myself. ıt will be a tension for me since ı will not use my perfect power to win fights but lets see ^^;; 

Also from how you described the calmness of MC makes sense afterall ı was alot more calm that how ı would be ıf ı would be the MC XD but that also gave me an interesting few perspectives and possibilities that can make is easily happen. they are kind of based on my experiences with other games played or mangas ı read

one possible not super logical but possible perspective is:
from this perspective MC is more like a human puppet rather than the being human themselves which is compatible with ''player'' who is technically mastermind of the puppet doesnt get affected by the war and the ''transient one'' acts according to ''player'' also looks calm which makes player or the real ''MC'' a observer who can control over transient one and change the fates of characters without being too much mentally involved. Basically, this is the bond between every person and their ''OCs''

perspective with alot better and logical explanation for the sake of the story is:

while MC gets involved in this fantasy world they dont necessarily gets mental affect by things that happening around them thanks to some invisible ''4th wall'' protects them from any type of mental damage. in this scenario gods dont only give the divine aura to MC but also kind of creates a 4th wall for MC thanks to that they will both exist in their world fully but also their mental health wont be affected which allow them to move without any psychological problem. this scenario would also get along very well with the fact that in gacha side them MC would suddenly ''super tired'' and would need to rest. 

As about my MC being with Lor, since MC is technically me with some differences ım sure they always would happily support Lor.  as for me though ı somehow feel jealous over ''other me'' XD ım also cheering for them.
