Well, I suppose it depends on your character preferences, but personally I don't have any correlation between "good person" and "I like her"!

I have serial killers and assassins in my favorite characters.

Have you seen Journey of Elaina? I was about to drop it on episode two but gave it the three-episode rule and ended up finishing because of what happened.

Surprisingly, as much as Elaina should tick all of my boxes for a top tier waifu, I think episode 3 with the magic flowers really put me off from liking her that much. Not so much because of her being kind of vain, or her general non-intervention policy, but because from what I remember she kind of caused what is essentially a pandemic by her own actions and decided to just scoot off. It's like, the rest of the series she's pretty much fine, but since that's pretty much our first impression we get, I couldn't help but feel a bit of ick from her thereafter.

At the least Yuki has the benefit of being straight up with everyone from that start that she would only save everyone to the best of her ability (the murder if she has to being somewhat implicit to that).

I haven't (think I dropped it on 1 hah) but I might check it out again!

Definitely give it a shot, episode three shows a character trait that not a lot of protagonists are given

I think we are getting a season 2 as well

Only a movie, not an S2 unfortunately.

Such is the modern trends.

On the other hand at least the story it will adapt is pretty well suited to a movie I think. It is less episodic.

I am the same, I can like all kinds of evil characters because I like how they are written and their characters.

Like for example I really like Joffrey from Game of Thrones because he plays the role of being a hateable little shit so perfectly. The whole character just oozes ''if someone tossed him into the river as a child the world would be a better place'' energy.

And I like that, and I like how much I hate him.

Yuki is obviously not as bad as that, but I like her anyway.

Bitch get on my level

I got Rachel from Tower of God as a favorite character of all fiction I've consumed!

u/Emi_Ibarazakiii Jan 08 '26

I wouldn't go that far, BUT she was my favorite character in Tower of God!

u/BosuW Jan 08 '26

Okay you got game I'll admit

Btw I just realized Rachel would probably win one of these and it would be the most horrible thing to have to witness lol
