Anyone else get annoyed with M.C. emotional inconsistencies because the plot needs it.
I am currently reading prism academy 1, I am throughly enjoying it, but I am getting irritated at the change in emotion responses purely because the plot needs it.
Without any spoilers, the M.C. keeps getting attacked both physically and politically. He just had a big speech about being done with attacks and how he would start pushing back hard if it continued. Then not even 30 minutes later in the book, he is captured. Instead of being furious at the continued attacks and immediately blowing up the vehicle he is in, he is calm as the person in the vehicle can speak to him. Shit is seriously going down around him and he's supposed to be chill with them capturing him? Fuck no. It's all because the plot needs it.
To me, this is a sign of weak writing. It was to help setup some mysteries that the book had touched on earlier, but the author completely forgot how on edge the M.C. is. "Oh I keep getting attacked and kidnapped by various groups, all wanting to own me or kill me, but sure, I'll listen to what you have to say."
