Let me use an example. People hated Lyse. Writers certainly got that feedback right? Yet they created a new character who is like 2x her presence and a polar opposite disposition. When you tell writers you hate a character, it's less effective than just saying please don't write protagonists who replace the WoL in the story. Not for half a story, a full story or at all. I am not telling anyone to stop giving feedback. I am telling you that vitriol aimed at a character probably won't get you what you want.

Another thing I would say is that it's funny you brought up the VA because of course you did.

Objectively, Wuk Lamat being "shoved in your face"-- that's a writing issue. It's not a character issue. If you don't want any character playing that kind of role in the story, it has nothing to do with Wuk Lamat.

Also you can like part of the writing. The problem is saying "Without Wuk Lamat Kriles story would be good". You literally don't know that. You can say it, I'm just saying it's not true.
Lol, if you think "single handedly ruin a story" is being hateful, then I can only say that I am super happy that you have had a nice time in life

You also seem to be hung up on semantics, when people just want to share their viewpoints and thoughts. Right or wrong, it doesn't actually matter. Remember, these are just words on a screen to you so it's not like you should worry that much.

Regardless, I hope you have a great day!~
