- The MC's whole character arc is about him being indecisive and not actually putting his abilities to use, he has this mindset of "i can escape anyways" so the threats that his nation faces don't matter to him. So in my mind, his character arc is all about being compelled by fate to move. And when this does happen, his motivating factor is the FL, who by themselves is a pivotal character that changes the whole dynamic of the whole environment. This is not to say that the MC is a simp, far from it really, but instead he had no reason to fight and then throughout the 6 volumes, he found it. You could honestly say that the first 6 volumes are a love story between the MC and the FL within the backdrop of political intrigue, economics, and war. Getting into spoiler territory, something happens to the FL that basically renders the MC's whole character arc ruined. He starts doing things that he showed no signs of doing before and the story becomes a generic, degenerate plot.
