You know I tend to wonder whether or not I'm going too dark on my idea, like a part of me feels like I'm taking too many risks, i mean I myself am going through darkness induced apathy myself just thinking about the idea, and I feel like my ending is too much of an Estoric happy ending or too bitter for a bittersweet ending, I want Michael to be a violent villain protagonist and a hero by proxy at the same time but I don't want him to end up a scrappy or a complete monster, I get that those tropes are subjective, but either way it's not something I would want to apply to Michael.

There's a lot I keep thinking about, should I go lighter and softer or darker and edgier?

Should I go nominal hero or just jerk with the heart of gold?

Should I be more idealistic or cynical?

Should I remove the cms or not?

I'm not asking you, this is just what I've been thinking.

Also why is complete monster a ymmv trope?
