boring can't choose the character's name

(+6)(-5)

Imagine wanting to choose your own name for the MC, which in turn dramatically lessens the impact on the story and the plot itself, alongside the depth of the emotions mixed into the characters and Heroines for the MC? Couldn't be me, considering it makes the story more lively when it's a preset name and we don't get to choose! Don't be so picky man, learn to enjoy it! :)

A bit late, but I just want to say that your answer don’t make any sens.

I don’t see how being able to specify a name we can more relate to for the MC can lessen anything, on the contrary, if anything it will make us more immersed in the story and transcend the perceived emotions.

Concretely speaking, MC’ name don’t seem to bear any special meaning in the story, so whatever it is shouldn’t change anything.

Technically speaking, it’s very simple to implement, straightforward, and fast to apply this change to any mention his name with a simple regexp replacement (if not just a search and replace all).

It does make *sense* though. You're just not seeing the bigger picture for lore and plot. Some people want to put their own name in the MC's shoes so that they can experience a slice of life they will never get to have *IN REAL LIFE*, but others like me just want to experience the story for what it is... (and definitely some action throughout the story itself) 😎👍

Think about it more with your head and less with your lower pelvis, chief. 👌

I think its more you than you than me that think with lower pelvis here.

Then,

It does make sense though. You’re just not seeing the bigger picture for lore and plot.

Yet you’re still not explaining how, you’re not explaining your point, and so mine still stand.

Plus, I already explained how being able to change the MC’s name could not have any impact on the story, lore and plot.

And for those that just want to follow that story without changing the MC’s name, they can still specify one and stay with it and this don’t change anything for them.

You're literally whining about the trivial details, and I gave my opinions about how having a set name for the MC is usually better. So yes, you're allowed to have your opinions on the matter too, but you're getting too worked up over this. I'm not arguing with a dick-for-brains caveman who cannot use proper grammar and spelling to make a statement about something that really didn't need any such clarification to understand, if you're struggling that badly to comprehend it. 🙄
