Does the payoff make the experience or doesn't make up enough?




The trope where the MC constantly loses or comes out on the bottom end of every situation until the end. I personally hate when because the payoff usually doesn't always balance out the slog that you're constantly losing and you're supposed to feel some kinda redemption most towards the end. Like just throw the MC a bone so you can have a fuck yeah moment every so often or at least make it more interesting then not. Either what does everyone else think on this

This is a signature to draw attention away from the fact that I don't have a signature.

I prefer when mc has to be carried in the beginning by more experienced companions. Then later on has to face challenges alone and grows stronger. Becomes very competent by the midpoint and a godlike entity by the end.

Currently Cradle the book series fits this bill for me. It hasn't finished yet (should be 1 more left next year) but we've already been shown the top tiers of the verse busting multiple galaxies as collateral damage lol
