his friend was having a hard time I understand but just brainwashing him to feel good feels out of line with your mc. He is supposed to consider it family but if he did it with him, will it be the same with his mother or Peggy? It is not that he is against it but I do not want you to justify his actions so that later he becomes a hypocrite. it is better to have a clear and solid way of thinking
Did you copy paste the same paragraph from some blog again? As I said, MC thought that it was the best option he had. Situations when rapid choices have to me made, makes a person overlook even the most simple outcome. I never said it was the correct choice, it was just the choice MC thought was the 'safest' at that moment. He could have figured out how ethically wrong it was, but he didn't want to think about that issue. MC has his flaws and overlooking such ethical factors while overcomplicating some simple issues has always been his thing. This has always been his issue. And secondly, I never claimed to make a "Good MC", he is morally grey. He often... no almost always overlooks issues that are related to ethics. Who decided that changing one certain trait, memory or part changes the entire being? We humans? Why? No clue. Has anyone been able do that. No, it's just a hypothesis that changing one aspect will change the entire person. People change their own habits, tries to forget memories that are sad... and when they succeed, do they become someone else? No they don't. MC followed the same logic. That's it.
Exargna:Can you hear yourself? Changing one detail leads to consequences, experience embodies a person's personality, changing some details of this "experience" will cause differences and changes in the personality as a whole. Now Joel is no longer his friend, this is another emotional pawn for the hypocrisy of the protagonist. The fact that he did this shows that the main character will continue to decompose as a person, I wouldn't be surprised if he forces his mother to accept immortality. The fact that you can't figure it out on your own disappoints me.

Ah, so now he plays god with his friends and family and slowly spirals into controlling their lives. Cause obviously deleting a part of his friends' memories is literally deleting his old friend. Memories and experiences make a person and to just delete those, even if painful is just wrong, he literally has just made a new 'person' as a friend now.
