#(idr where this happens which just contributes to the mischaracterisation thing lol)

it's tough that a lot of little but important things to dungeon meshi characterisations are all over the place and not the most easily accessible

#the biggest example is the touden parents. if u rely entirely on laios' version of events #u get characters that fit easily as villains or antagonists in ur story #and then u can easily fit ideas like greediness in there. but if you get falins version #(idr where this happens which just contributes to the mischaracterisation thing lol) #then suddenly their behavior and intentions change entirely. #so yeah you can still make them ur antagonists if u want #but then making them do certain things simply becomes out of character #i think the dad is particularly subject to this lmao. but again i dont think this is intentional #because getting to material that actually explains his character can be so darn difficult lmao #spoilers in replies i just couldnt help myself nnbfhghhhh #to be clear theres an extra somewhere where falin explains more about the dads reasoning to send her off #like this isnt a hypothetical on like how they personally felt but theres actual information #that isnt easily available.... #i guess this is only a real problem if ur writing fic LMAO the point is kui is very skilled at writing #complex and nuanced characters and relationships...
