You all are right and wrong at the same time. Ambition might be nesesery and might be not. Mc is truly immortal ,cannot be killer nor die willingly or not. Fear is also powerful motivation but if you cant die then why fear death? After thusands of years why would you care about mortals? You saw everything and everyone you loved turn into dust. You will start to keep them away to avoid pain of loss. And about empire building thing - Mc can create planets. In cannon star wars no being could posibly rival him. Conquest would be like destroying ant nest - you can do it but what is the point? They cant stop you doesnt matter how hard they tried. I think we should treat Mc less like active character but kind of stereotypical Monk , wise old man , maybe even god. He teach others becouse there is nothing more to learn nor do to. He dont longer think like human and should not be treated as one. And if he decides to help becouse someone ask him to its not weird for him do refuse ( if it is something easy for him , probably hard for everyone else). How would you react if bunch of ants ask you for some honey? It is nothing special for you and for them is something almost unachivable. You will help them not cuz you are nice but becouse ANT JUST TALKED TO YOU. Its something unusual and intresting . I think same thing goes for mc and his relations with other sentient beings ( exept force) . That's only my personal opinion pls dont burn me on stake pls
You are right but not completly. Your love towards your parents is diffrent than love towards your partner. Some would say that first one is " more pure" but its not realy what i want to say. My point is that romantic/ erotic love have stages ( pls google it cuz i dont know how to explain it shortly). Edric relation with alysanne is on first stage, when the hormons are at their peak , when you dont see anything wrong in ur partner. Its more Passion and lust. Between shogun and edric is more attachment than Passion i think. Aside from that, maybe you know witcher; last wish book. Geralt makes a wish to love yenefer and vice versa( djin/ jin grants it ). They always fight, break up and comeback eachother. Maybe something simmilar is between edric and shogun.
I kinda like this toxic relationship between shoguna and edric. There are many possible outcomes. Also for those who says this doesnt make sense - edric for long time was alone. Then shogun arrived and was there for him in every single second for many years. I think it become normal for him to , if not forgive then at least overcome Alysane death. I mean if someone is with you always and you are used to it so much you will care for them no matter what they do , even if it hurts you. Also if we treat Raiden Shougun as godess and edric as beliver we can came up with answers: he is a fanatic. Or something idk. All of this are just some random thought i decided to share with you
