Lol i just noticed that from the 3 IET novels that i've read (CD, ST, DE). I can't really diffrentiate between the MC's. I mean if u put linley in DE or Qin yu in CD. They're characters, way of speaking even up to how they think are the same. Given that it's the same author. I mean at least some difference would be nice but then again character development isnt really iet strong points. Anyway, this post is just to share my recent revelation. Toodles
Maybe that kind of MC is the only ones that the author can write comfortably with. Unlike TJSS that have mostly explore a lot of personalities.
You have to admit though, they have many similarities in their personalities. Its not like the difference between HJC, Jiu Shen, SYWZ and DD, where the personalities are very different
I would have to somewhat agree with @hakim.rz16 that they all do come off as very similar people with only few minor discrepancies. The way were brought up were different; in some aspects there environment was similar and in other aspects different from each other. Even the way they developed were very similar, and overall they developed into very similar people.
Similarities in personalities is true I agree. However I disagree with the opening comment. Each characters actions, goals etc are determined by the relative story. There are differences that would become apparent if they were swapped around in the novels. TJSS does develop his MC personalities with more variety. Having said that I feel the MC's from HJC & COL are very similar and the ones from SYWZ and DD are very similar
Only if they undo the shitty re-edit so, HAN SHOT FIRST!!!!! Since Disney has not more in the way of balls than Lucas, Han will remain bland just like George Stuwalker .. er I mean Luke Skywalker.
It's not that they have similar personalities as much as the MCs' personality is nonexistent. Try to think of adjectives to describe their personality and you'd be hard press to list more than a handful. They are just vehicles for IET's power crawl and nothing else.
A lot of things are similar in IET stories. Mc is very emotional, MC's parent end up in tragic situation with a revenge theme, MC is a cultivating genius, there is ascension to higher realms, side characters are thrown away when not needed, love life is tragic or non existent. The only thing that is different is the setting of the story and the cultivation system.
I'd like you to describe each of their personalities and how they're different. All they are is family, friends, stay alive and get stronger.
