This author is either a master at making a character who is self deluded and woefully blind to social norms or is one of those people who say it was just a joke after saying something super inflammatory for no reason.
I will give it to them it is making me see thru the eyes of a human I would definitely cull from my life.
I have met these kind of people , people who think they are more clever than they are . seemingly miss obvious solutions to problems while lashing out at all around them and then not understanding when people react negatively to them.
this may be the most unlikable MC to a book I plan to finish.
I first thought … o maybe he is so unlikeable to give room for much self improvement but as the hours tick down till the end of the book I don’t see them making a complete personality change in 2 hours.
this is the human personification of a Chihuahua, just barking at everyone not realizing every other dog around them could end them in a whim and are better in every way while it self inflates with boastful arrogance with absolutely nothing to back it up with. The sheer blinders to the fact that everyone around you simply tolerates you due to their grace. No one likes you. You are a —- human being. Cancer is too good for you. Victim mentality with a pinch of self deluded power fantasy… so strange.
I like the idea behind the story line and I picked it up thinking he was going to be an ESPer with time powers … if that happens it has yet to …
I hope in the last 2 hours he reverts back to the opening scene with pre knowledge and then becomes a better person in book 2 … but damn he is so unlikeable that unless the ending is almost perfect I find it hard for me to want more of this. which is a shame because I think everything is written well . based on the other characters he can obviously write a non horrible character.
we shall see … let’s hope he finds out how to loop and reverts in time and when Doc asks if it’s the first time they have met he just smiles coy and says the same line of “How could we have met before?” and grow as a character with each passing loop because he is a man child to begin with and if he evolves thru story it could be good … but he is such a winny unlikeable noodle of a “man” I find it unlikely I will get the next book … might look up spark notes tho to find out the end because the story is good the character is not.
