The Eminence in Shadow (light novel)
Apratim said: lightning_angad7 said: Please put your thoughts. He is a sigma male bruh. He does what he wants so that's why I like his character. Not a goody two shoes boring ass Isekai MC like 99% of them lol. He cures the girls in need, kills the evil fellas without any hesitation and does everything in badass manner, what else do we want from an MC? It's not a romcom if you are searching for romance and drama sh!t ( Here I have used "You" for the fellas who hate his character lol) bro exactly copied my mind and pasted it |
 Wake up to reality! Nothing ever goes as planned in this accursed world.The longer you live, the more you realize that the only things that truly exist in this reality are merely pain, suffering and futility.Everywhere you look in this world,wherever there is light, there will always be shadows to be found as well.As long as there is a concept of victors, the vanquished will also exist.The selfish intent of wanting to preserve peace, initiates war and hatred is born in order to protect love.  |
| Now that you bright this up, I find this amusing, that Rudeus is getting so much flack, while Cid is objectively worse person. This guy is casually commiting acts of terrorism and causes havoc for his simple amusement. |

lightning_angad7 said: Please put your thoughts. His character is too inconsistent and contradictory. At the same time … Cid acts like he has no idea what’s going on, that everything about Shadow Garden is just a pretend act, that he has extremely bad luck with money, and all he wants to do is fight strong opponents. Cid then acts like he knows everything going on, that he is directing Shadow Garden from the shadows, he is able to pay for many things that a broke person couldn’t, and that he is fighting against the secret bad guys operations with Shadow Garden. There is no explanation from these conflicting attitudes. Maybe he has a split personality? |
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating. |

Bro is literally commiting acts of terrorism, conspiracy and manipulation of others for his own amusement as if it was all a game. He can hardly be called a good person. |

So what? If u are imposing your own moral standards on a fictional character and get upset by the fact that they are not acting the way u want them to then you clearly need to drop the anime and move on and watch some other story where your standards of how a character should be like fits the mc. No, I won't drop this anime because I do enjoy it and Cid is a good character, while being a bad person. Dunno what you're even on. |

I just justified your answer with mine as it seemed to me that u clearly don’t like cid or atleast that’s the impression I got from your comment. Nah, bro. I'm fully aware that fictional characters are vessels used to tell a story and shouldn't be put to real life standards. |

Apratim said: I am tired of the same type of MC's in most of the anime. Cid is such a unique fella that's why I like his character. And he ain't an A--hole , he does what is necessary, if someone does a good job he even compliments them. He is just living his life and having fun what's wrong with that? He has been selfish and greedy throughout the entire show. He used the demonically affected elf for his own personal experiments, accidentally healing her. He then lied to all the 7, unknowingly saying the truth, then continues to act like they are all pretending, not actually fighting the secret evil organization. He never communicates clearly and leaves his friends in the dark on what he is doing most of the the time. He complains about being broke, when he is actually richer than any one in the world. Any supposed good he does is for his own interests alone. What is redeeming about him? |

Any supposed good he does is for his own interests alone. What is redeeming about him? Wait a minute. About that experimenting thing , first of all he never knew it can turn back to human form and second he was trying to control the magic overload of that monster (Alpha), it took him 1 month to learn the cure of magic overload ( it has been explained in game story as well). And he cured every other shadow garden girls. He just thinks the girls are playing along with him, he has no ill intentions. And his story actually came true which indeed helped every one of them and the people who suffered from diabolos cult. And He is not a hero or something bruh, you want him to do something glorious heroic stuff? he just wants to stay as sidelines and even while remaining sideline he has done the job which saved many. Stopped Blood queen rampage, cured everyone. With his bs he saved mitsugoshi out of Counterfeit bills crisis. It's just a comedy series bruh, that whatever he does will have a good result lol. You are avoiding the obvious. He does everything from self interest and not for others. I’m not asking for a hero, I’m asking for a decent human being. |

If he was a decent human being, this series wouldn't be funny anymore that's it. The way he acts is the reason that makes the series entertaining , so hating him makes no sense. This would be my final answer lol
| @Apratim So he needs to be an evil person to be entertaining? So you prefer evil people over good people. |
