I'm going to abstain from any more discussion in this thread because i also know too much from reading the novels.

That's probably for the best since i won't have to waste my time and argue with bullshit like

You guys must be letting your perspective from reading the books fuck your judgment up
because clearly, having actual information to make a judgment about a character is wrong.

A lot of you guys are way too convinced of your own opinion over the information (or lack of) that was disclosed so far. I'm reading way too many "obviously" or "definitely" when it's mostly theory that you came up with.

You guys are probably not going to enjoy this anime if you continue to nitpick over every detail. It was already established that there are some problems with this adaption. There are also plenty of hints in the episodes as to the whole situation that is only noticeable to people who read the novels (once again, the fault of the studio). At this rate, I'm worried that they'll leave out more important details that are only revealed through narration.

If the main character bothers you that much, it's probably best to stop watching the show altogether. I doubt that the studio will wise up because they already screwed up 2 important chapters so far.
