thanks for the response and insight. As I said I knew when i decided to play that it was with a MC that was somewhat preset in their origins, and that I would not be very comfortable with being that kind of person. Still I chose to play anyways, because well how can I pass on a chance to play an interactive Arthurian Tale lol.
Your story really is well written, and I've enjoyed it for the most part. I simply choose to ignore as best I can all references to my combat abilities / past etc. and focus on the Now part of the game (and i do like some of the characters predefined traits, like enjoying children and animals.) Its not too hard to do, its like playing an otome and ignoring all references to the MC being a girl. The mind can leap through alot of hoops when it wants to.
