I mean. he's a spoiled prince of a prosperous kingdom. one who has had some trauma via the loss of one parent and distance of another. yeah he's gonna be a frustrating little shit at times but he isn't without his redeeming qualities. I think it'll be interesting to watch how he grows through each route^^
Also, given its still in development. I imagine there will probably be a point where things get combed over and refined, potentially even revised. only time will tell.
Tragic backstory doesn’t give a character a shield to be piece of shit, sadly, and so far I haven’t seen even one redeeming quality of his. At this point for me in order to like Katan he has to undergo a redemption arc on the level of Kuzco or Luke von Fabre and Im really not sure i will have patience to stick around to find out if he is going to undergo it at all.
I really don't know how or why I should be invested in a growth of a character who needs unknown amount of time only to become *bearable* (and the fact that a vn that was in development since forever still haven't gotten very far is its own separate can of worms). I will just go and read better stories with characters I actually want to root for instead.
