Thatâs because if you DONâT, youâd be violating the terms of ânot being thrown into a black ops facility somewhereâ agreement.

in the first image the fact that MC literally begging to join goes against the point that they donât want to do it in the first place
I canât recall when the 2nd dialogue was from, forgiveness XD
Third one and fourth one are one of the things that i said before about MC only showing their view as always a side note
In the third MC just threw their dislike for hero work casually
and in the fourth the guy is literally asking you
By showing i mean actual reluctance to the work, and Abrasiveness like doing the bare minimum and avoiding high risk choices

I mean, one unwritten rule about interactive fiction is that on a basic level, the player has to accept the premise put forward by the author. To give an outlandish example, it would not be fair to criticize AToH for not giving your character an option to open an Italian-style deli, because such a premise is not mentioned nor implied in the description of the story.
What is mentioned in the authorâs description is that you will join the League of Heroes and soon spend your days âprotecting the citizens of your city from attacks by criminals, villains, and even natural disastersâ. When this is all put forward as part of the premise, I donât understand how some people take issue with the fact that they are forced to interact with the League or act like a superhero when the situation arises. Such narrative beats are ones you ostensibly signed up for when you read the description and then play the game.
Like, the description even says âThis is Giga City. This is your city. Donât let it go down in flamesâ, and you are complaining about fighting the flame-themed supervillain?

I always find it so weird when people play a game while simultaneously not wanting to engage with its premise. Itâs like going to play whatever number FIFA is on these days and going "but I donât WANT to manage a football team 
".

I think they mean.
Given choice to help someone with something to do to help.
Then
MC sighs deeply heading off that direction to help.
Thats probably what would fix the whole situation in that reluctants scene.

Wow, way to completely ignore my main requests to suit your purpose
i only had these 2 requests
- More choices for MC to be expressive
- Make the MCs nature blend with plot much smoothly
I donât even remember the fire guys name if he has one smh

But the MC isnât reluctant to live. Theyâre not suffering from depression. Theyâre, at most, reluctant about being on the team. They donât like the job they have. Thatâs it, and thatâs most people.

Yep, thatâs being in the same boat as a lot of, maybe even most of the people who have to work for guys like Musk and Bezos.
Itâll also improve a bit for me once mc actually starts to get paid, Ignis just needs to complete the paperwork for that. At least then itâll properly feel like an actual job instead of unpaid prison labour.
Forlorn aside the rest of the team isnât so bad, Mars and Nova are cuties and Lat being there is at least some anchor of continuity. Of course superhero, unlike a lot of guys, would never have been my mcâs voluntary choice of a job but once we get paid and can stop using the identity hiding collar and can start to dress a bit less nondescript my boy can at least start to make the best of it.

Apologies that I missed something. The post I was replying to did not mention your main requests, and this thread being as popular as it is, I sometimes struggle to keep track of everything people have said.
I understand wanting more options for an MC to express themselves and to have said expression integrated with the plot. However, there obviously must be some limit to what the MC is allowed to express, as defined by the story which the author wants to tell. Not every author is trying to tell the story of a reluctant hero. I can understand how an author may be reluctant to accommodate an MC who doesnât want to engage with the story the author is trying to tell.

Bit late, but oh well. Hereâs my 5 cents on this.
Difference between Harley and seeker is that she is the main character of the show. Kiteman is at best side character. So better comparison would be âHarley is seeker and Kiteman is the MCâ

There is already a reluctant hero route, it just isnât fleshed out yet
which goes for MC as well, we donât know much about MC except that they got pushed into hero bus after they Mysteriously received powers, and now has to train and work with people who almost killed him
Except for this there is the other you part of MC and their thoughts about being a hero
Nowhere do we see MC actively trying to express themselves, so many people are just so lost in the point that if MC does something wrong he will be kicked
But seriously nobody is kicking MC out for laughing, ignoring, getting angry or irritated sometimes
Someone was saying MC could be guarded towards the team because of their earlier circumstances
But we literally have to sit through listening to how each and every member of team is interacting to each other from aki or lat at the start
Why would someone want to know about people who tried to kill him? We donât go ask our bullies for chocolate do we?

Canât believe youâd leave out Lat making your clothes explode.

I donât think it is your call to make whether MC would get kicked over something, but the authorâs. So telling ânobody is kicking them outâ is quite presumptuous.
That said, would you mind being more specific about what you envision this âreluctant routeâ be like, more than just vague âthey should express themselvesâ? Like, could you give some actual example or two?
âWe have to sit through listening to member interactionâ. What do you want/imagine to be alternative then? An option âSit sulking in my room because i donât want to be thereâ and then effectively skipping entire chapter(s) your MC opted not to be part of? Or for the author to add content describing in detail said sulking? Something else?
Keep things civil towards each other.
Thanks!

It is not my call, itâs just simply absurd to think that getting angry once or twice is going to get MC kicked out considering forlornâs rude attitude and seekerâs repeated leaves arenât doing anything either
I am not forcing author to do anything that is illogical, itâs their decision at the end of the day
By expressing themselves i mean in general not just in that specific route, MC feels bland alot of the times like i am playing a mute character
As for reluctant route, i mean MC should be more distant to the team in general, like avoiding dangerous situations he has a chance to avoid, and not to forget not getting over and forgetting that forlorn and aki lowkey tried to kill them before
MC themselves almost kills lat during training and we donât get a proper reaction for that either
Just the normal lack of feedback from MC externally is my issue
It is not member interaction, aki and lat are literally explaining the general characteristics of the other cast themselves, make it more interactive i guess isnât that what this is IF?
There is literally alot more options than just âsulking in your roomâ as you put it, a rude attitude? ignoring the yapping which you donât want to hear about and actually talking with the characters which you want to know about?
This is one of the things i liked in the newer chapters where we were able to talk with characters one on one
Quite frankly not all issues can be fixed but it doesnât mean you canât make suggestions on what you feel like is a issue, i donât expect more than half of what i say to be taken into consideration because at the end of the day itâs authorâs story
