Author seems to think that guns cause people to turn evil, except the MC. Only the MC can be trusted with a tool that would help people survive in an apocalypse.
Every male character is a bland, thoughtless follower unless he thinks he needs to inject some drama in the story, and suddenly even friendly characters become violent, sociopathic rapists.
MC must be in control at all times, and makes promises to people to get them to fall in line. He then breaks those promises and expects people to still follow him.
I get the feeling that the author has mild narcissistic tendencies, and likes to write himself into his stories as a power fantasy, where the MC is smarter than everyone because no one thinks for themselves unless they’re evil, and MC always triumphs.
