>>114828914>The way Marko dies I think shows that that struggle was his most defining character traitThe way Marko dies is explicitly the result of his pacifism and choosing not to kill Will. Not his rage. If he had taken violent action he'd still be alive, so no.
>I agree, she has some of those traits and it makes her unlikable but not a badly written unbelievable characterThat's a problem when you have an unlikable main character with nothing to balance out the annoying aspects. I'd have rather had her die rather than Marko and that's saying something.
>all emotional guts given by narrationA big no. All subtly is removed from major events by having a narrator tell us how to feel or 'it's bad' is not good writing. And story events that would have more impact if we never knew what would happen are taken away removing a lot of the suspense that would prevent most of the people who stopped reading in recent chapters from leaving because they feel like it's a padding slog to events that they know will happen.
