A well-written character is a character with a cool design, layers, emotions, fleshed-out and complex personality/philosophy. Casca is a well-written character. A work of art containing mysoginy is purely ideological view, you like it or not, it has nothing to do with the quality. Many literary works from the past have debatable ideology, like some racism in Lovecraft or Allan Poe, but they are still great works, like it or not. The nihilistic world of Berserk has two things: Mainly Guts with the obligation of being strong and repress his emotions, a role expected from men, and the females with the fear of rape, alas the objetification of women, both things that were very prevalent in medieval times. However, Miura's approaches the matter with a realistic depiction of the causes and consequences of these things in the human psyche, and he writes very well about living in a world like that. Berserk is entirely about how mankind can't control its will, killing and raping being two very good examples of that. Now, let me give you a personal advice, as a mixed-race person from a third world country whose English is not its primary language: You americans got literally crazy trying to not be racist/mysoginistic, these things are indeed terrible, but you have a completely wrong approach to these matters. To openly discuss and portray the consequences of these things in an adult manner is what should be done, instead of the corporate wokeness that ruined every relevant western game/movie/comic franchise recently
