I think so too, Imo he is far more interesting than the sage or diarca, he is so set on achieving his goals by any means that it becomes twisted, and there's just something about his personality that makes me like him as a character + all the things his powers allow him to do I so cool lol
Is it unpopular? I quite like him as a character. I'm so excited to see his next arcs in the novel
Check the others comments He's really disliked by the majority
Yeah and the verbal confrontation he has with Yuder are interesting too. Their beliefs clash and even though you're on Yuder side, you can see the point on Nahan side : he's not right, but you can see WHY he thinks like that. And make you wonder how much influence the sage has/had on him as the story progress (wich you know at the end).
he can be a great written antagonist while still being disliked by people as a character
Oh, he's s GREAT character! A BAD person, but so interesting and narratively important!
Unpopular opinion : I think Nahan is a great antagonist
