Darkwood
happened again....the "MC" took the backside while the "side character" was the main element....really feel like Nela should have been the actual lead if author was gonna make the MC this useless. unless, if you wouod have just done away with Brayton and have Nela be the MC as the Daughtet who inherited the Viscounty, it would have zero effect to the story....thats how useless the MC has been so far
You do realise that this is set in a medieval period right? being born in the right position was very important back then. It is meant to be a matter of rising to the challenge despite being inadequate than being good enough from the start.
J0KER:you don't have to make the MC omnipotent...but you have done nothing to make the MC the central figure of this novel. if the character Brayden was absent throughout the whole novel, all the side characters would have still been able to overcome each obstacles without him. that's how unnecessary you've made him. useless may not have been the appropriate term for me to have used....but so far, he is not essential in this novel whatsoever other than he was needed for the inheritance. he's greatest skill set so far is being born into the right family...congratulation.
