I didn't claim that it actually tugged on my heartstrings. I can't get emotional about a character that literally never existed, which is why I avoid works where authors try and focus on tugging at your emotions to really drive you. I'm more interested in clever plots, action, intricate lore, and creative characters and worlds over emotional devices. Most of what I've read suggests the main force behind this story is Momonga's slow descent into becoming the actual evil creature that his game character was, without him having any real control over it. The system that controls his character forces him to lose his emotions and his humanity as a whole. It's not a terrible concept, but it doesn't seem like it'll be an exciting read, for me at least. These answers have been pretty helpful though, so thanks for that. Most threads I've looked up about this series have been dead for over a year, so this helped and maybe it'll answer questions for other people in the future.
