I saw your post on the older lessons. What are your thoughts on Belphie and MC's reactions to him?
Terrifying. I'm not sure if the game showing that Beel is capable of mimicking Belphie's manipulative manner is intentional or not, but knowing what he'll do in the future definitely...leaves a bad taste(imo). His character is consistent though so far.
Tbh he isn't a personal favourite and he lost several more points after rereading how much he lied and took advantage of MC. I'm scared of him. Maybe once I reread the later lessons, my image of him will change. For now though...yeah. Simeon, pick me up I'm scared.
As for MC's reactions to him...I actually kinda...relate? They're trying so hard to survive in the Demon realm. They're probably scared out of their wits, trying to find a way so they can heighten their chances for survival. It's a naive thought, yes. But I believe that the reason why MC chooses to help Belphie is not entirely of pure reasons. They want to find a SURE way to have these powerful demons protect them. Knowing their current standing and simply obeying Lucifer and the rules he adheres may seem like a safe choice but it does not completely guarantee their safety. If I were that desperate to live and actually get on the good side of the Seven Rulers of Hell, I'd probably do something stupid too.
Desperation can do so much to even the sanest of people. I can't imagine how terrified MC was in their first few days in Devildom.
