So, be brutally honest with yourself, why should anyone care about your main character? How do you show the readers that your main character is worth taking interest?
What is it about your character that should make the readers want to root for them or even waste their time caring about them?
Why is your main character the main character as oppose to another character?
Tell me, what is your main character like and why would anybody care?
I’m not sure anyone should care about my main character, or any of the characters, or the book, or anything I’ve ever written in my life. Yes, I’m having a crisis of confidence at the moment. ☜(ˆ▿ˆc)
But if the reader did care, I imagine it would be because the mc is basically a good guy living in dangerous times under a tyrannical king, awaiting execution for a crime he didn’t commit. Injustice, I think, usually makes a character sympathetic…? ¯\_(ﭢ)_/¯
Because he’s a sympathetic young man torn between his lustful desires and feelings of loyalty towards his family, and he’s finally expressing himself to his mother, who may or may not accept him.
A savior who is the underdog, saving people who are hunted but not powerless. Saving powerless monsters who didn’t ask to be saved, but make them safe -Ms Apex
A savior who is more than meets the eye is interesting as they use golems to intimidate and show them their heritage without telling them who they are and what they are showing them. -Peace Keeper
