This note won't be as long as the first one I had written, that got deleted in my typing rage, so I'll be brief.
Corn, why is Adam believing in what Jellal said?
Allow me to be a clear as possible, HE FUCKING DOESNT! BUT AS ANY DECENT PERSON, HE HAS TO MAKE SUREEE! IF YOU as a person, wouldn't try to at least confirm the words of a Terrorist with a weapon capable of destroying a country, then please do everyone a favor and don't work in any law enforcement job.
Shouldn't Adam know Makarov can block the blast?
He doesn't. He knows Makarov is strong, but he's not sure he has anything in his arsenal to block the attack. Unlike MC who has a vast array of options, like moving, creating a portal, or bending space to deal with the attack, so just to be safe, he's making sure shit goes smooth.
One. He's playing it safe, JUST IN CASE.
Two. He's making sure that if Jellal is actually telling the truth, that Makarov makes the necessary preparations to deal with the situation.
Cornnnn why didn't the MC kill Jellal?
Well, you psychopaths the answer is simple. Unlike most of you seem to think, he doesn't hate Jellal, he pities him. He knows Jellal is a puppet, a husk of what he could be, someone whose free will was taken from him when he was but a child.
Beyond that, the MC also wanted to see how strong Jellal was, to his fullest before defeating him. He knows he could've won the moment the fight started, when he's confident of that, he taunts his opponent. The reason why he didn't is because he was testing things out.
Honestly, I'm this close of just giving up. Every time I try to improve my writing, and make my MCs more human, all I get is this.
Yall don't want a MC, all you guys want is a FUCKING Mary Sue, a perfect being, perfect in everything, a being unable of making mistakes, or judgement errors, a being that transcends all, and who also fucks everything with female genitalia.
The moment the MC stops being perfect in your eyes, the moment things stop going according to your perceived nothing of perfection, you start insulting me, or saying I will quit reading this novel is shit or something.
Like, you don't even wait for the next chapter, you just go straight to the part where you try to shit on me.
The worst part is, I MADE IMPOSSIBLY CLEAR THAT ADAM is confident in what he can do, and that this won't change the outcome in the end, but still, you see his human side, the part that cares, as a weakness.
Don't worry, the next MC I write, will be the perfect being you all say you don't want, but we all know you want, someone that excels at everything, someone with an IQ so big that there hasn't been a number invented to quantified.
Anyway, do as you please. I'm done for the day, had a rough fucking day, and thought the chapter had been clear enough for the egg shells of this site, but I guess I was wrong. I need to improve my writing to deal with that, EVEN MORE. Maybe a 500 word disclaimer before any chapter would do the trick, I don't know, I'm brainstorm this shit later.
Well...
Have a great day, one better than mine. I will try to calm down, maybe watch a movie or something. Take care everyone.
Updates will restart tomorrow, hopefully.
