Wait, how did you came to that conclusion lmao?

@powerplantanimations
From following your comic, I'll say hero with nuance! Your two (apparent) leads thus far are snots, for sure, but I sense an undercurrent of positive idealism that gives me a feeling Naota's going to grow some self-awareness and genuine compassion for those around him in a very wholesome character arc. :]

@diestreve319
An innocent, idealistic, and romantic hero who makes the world brighter through shared dreams and a simple childlike compassion. c:

@TheLemmaLlama
Going to say hero, but in a less structured sense. It's not a bright, flashy heroism, but the heroism of small acts of kindness and a peaceful acceptance that makes one a refuge for those they meet along their journey.

@goatbat
Villain!
Likeable in a roguish way, but a villain through and through- and one who knows it lol.

@AlydaB Sweeeeeet. From your comic, I see you as a hero with family values judging by the interactions between your characters. I can also tell that character's are going to learn their lessons the hard way as well. Kinda like a "tough love" situation. Specifically when Nora purposely looked for danger just so she can get her powers.

AlydaB 2022-04-04 19:00:05 UTC #28

Eyy good guess

I come from a family of 12, so I guess it'd make sense that family bonds are often a prominent theme in my stories. If I've learned anything, it's that we rarely learn our lessons the "easy way".

This sounds like fun. So far I only have one webcomic and its my very first. Here is the link below for anyone that's interested.

skyfarron 2022-04-04 23:15:55 UTC #30

very cute interactions, this thread was a good idea

BoomerZ 2022-04-05 00:10:17 UTC #31

Always looking for feedback on my characters.

@BoomerZ (it's about your persona as an author, not your characters! :-3)

Pony_wearing_a_hat 2022-04-05 03:11:29 UTC #33

I think I know what I'm gonna get but I'll throw these in anyway...

Pony_wearing_a_hat 2022-04-05 03:17:59 UTC #34

you're the type of villain who just wants to be entertained. You put ordinary people in outrageous situations just to see what happens when they are pushed hard enough. You also probably slammed your hand down in the path of ants a lot as a kid.

Pony_wearing_a_hat 2022-04-05 03:19:07 UTC #35

I wanna say antihero. You let your characters get put through the wringer, but want what's best for them in the end.

Pony_wearing_a_hat 2022-04-05 03:19:57 UTC #36

full on hero, but the type that doesn't like to interfere with the natural way of things if avoidable.

MottotteShinji 2022-04-05 03:34:52 UTC #37

hmm... (Im doing a dark fantasy theme story.)

AlydaB 2022-04-05 05:09:04 UTC #38

@dsptss78
Hmm.. From a quick skim over your premise description and first few episodes, I'm going to say: either an unaware, well-intentioned villain who believes he's an anti-hero, or an actual anti-hero whose positive and heroic aspects shine through rarely but significantly.

@BoomerZ
Anti-hero. One who has become cynical and disillusioned, but still clings to their guiding ideals. Fluctuates between heroism and self-serving villainy, but continues to search for truth and positive purpose. Wants to be a "good person" but would deny this if asked. I get just a bit of that same sense from Baul, especially in recent episodes :]

@Pony_wearing_a_hat
A villain with a measure of nuance and self-awareness who finds people interesting, but doesn't much like them.

Are we judging the way we write our main characters, or the authors themselves? Here's my little passion project:
