Wow, Wuk Lamat is really single-handedly ruining the DT story...

[SwadTheFrog]

Yes, but it's very funny.

Alright, it's a little bit funny.

Alright, it's a little bit funny.

Not going to lie, but I haven't seen this shit since the mid 2000s. This is great honestly.

Personally, I wouldn't trust Wuk Lamat leading a pack of alpacas let alone an entire nation

[Karious]

Sorry, lady, Wuk lamat sucks. Keep seething.

[MsMisato]

dang that escalated pretty quickly XD

What I don't like is the writer's feel good values being opaque in the representation of the character. As if I need to know that war is hell and peace is good.

someone should bring the cage..again..you know the one

XIV is pretty bad at humor, so having a largely humorous hildalbrand esque character like Wuk is a bit off putting to me.

When Dawntrail takes itself more seirously I actually like it quite a bit, but the food humor needs to stop

Thankfully someone on reddit pointed out that there was a Wuk Lamat thread on the official forums where we don't have to fear downvote nukes so I made my way here.

The thing I am absolutely despising from over yonder is the: "It's ARR all over again, it's ok to be slow at first" and "We are starting again, it's better to not be depressing" as if any of these reasons are justifiable reasons to the main plot being an utterly mundane and juvenile princess we have to ferry from A to B. A beginning chapter of a story doesn't get a pass for being bad because it's a beginning chapter. You close the book. However the last book had the likes of Emet-Selch and the Exarch and now we have to be OK with our WoL supposedly tolerating this female Naruto who will defeat her brothers, who are far more interesting besides the 2 header, with the power of friendship. I think most of us want to jump ship the second we see another brother but instead we are getting gaslit into thinking Wuk Lamat is It.

On a more positive note, I am enjoying the freshness of the new world. I eagerly dig into my mind fingers into any world building in the areas we are sent to, as if to immerse in something else entirely, before the clumsy princess inevitably reminds me she exists. First dungeon was cool too.

I feel like they didn't know what to do with Wuk Lamat. Her arc is about learning how to be a leader after being a spoiled princess. Fine. Being a leader isn't just hope/dreams/friendship.

Two of the most important aspects to being a leader is using the resources you have available to yourself and making tough choices. As far as making tough choices goes, I haven't really seen that. The toughest choices she's made are getting over her dislike of Alpacas and forcing herself to ride boats. Not really a tough choice. I may not agree with a certain character, but he's at least shown he's willing to make sacrifices.

The other aspect, using your available resources, is the one that's more important and impacts us. Wuk Lamat has the Warrior of Light -- a literal god killer who has traveled to other worlds, back in time, and the edge of the universe to kill the personification of despair -- on her side. Despite having the best resource available, she doesn't use us aside from chores that a handful of NPC guards could do. Have us go toe-to-toe with Two Head, stomp him and become his Zenos. Let just steamroll through problems till we find one we can't steamroll. Instead I feel like Krile did before she learned how to draw.
