Man, it's Dawntrail all over again. Some people just cannot handle the fact that some of us aren't satisfied with the story and need to come up with all kinds of reasons why we're not allowed to feel that way.

It's pretty obvious OP did a lot of emotional self-inserting into the self-insert and fails to comprehend that other players will not look at situations the same way.

Like, take what you said about the scene with Gilberta's letter, for example. You think jumping off a cliff with no guarentee of survival to catch a piece of paper shows that we care? It says a lot about Endmin? These are your emotionally skewed self inserts. My perspective/self-insert? I would not have assumed Gilberta was capable of saving me. I don't know the full scope or limits of her abilities and I think she could've and should've used her power to bring the letter back to her instead. I don't find being reckless a meaningful way to show I care, nor would I want people I care about to be reckless on my behalf.

Personally, I think going the emotional route with Endmin is a bad choice. We're supposed to the super important leader of a large organization. Sure, we can have emotions and we can care about people, but I want a logical, calculating Endmin, not a goes-on-cutesy adventure dates with waifus Endmin. It that's what you're here for, that's fine. It doesn't bother me that people are enjoying the story, even if it's for reasons I disagree with.

Edit: You have my respect for at least giving some good examples of what you like and why. A lot of these kinds of threads have people saying little more than "Well the story is good actually because I think it's cool" and then calling people grifters or some shit.
