And that's pretty much where the author failed Sieg as a character even in the novels. He didn't give the character choices. Didn't give him any chances to actually grow as a character. It's like he had an idea for a protagonist that seemed boring but instead of tweaking the protagonist, he instead, tailored the entire story to justify boring protagonist's existence.

He could've been adjusted to be a bystander. He could've been adjusted to be either a Red or Black Master. A defector from one side--anything. Instead, author decides to base him off a boring homunculus. It's done though. I cannot ponder on what could've been. I can only critique what we have now.

Maybe I would've appreciated his little shows of willpower if his personality wasn't as bland as week old cardboard. I didn't exactly read Apocrypha to follow the story or whatnot. I mean, it's the Grail War. It's a story we've seen several times. I picked it up because it promised spectacle. Seven vs. Seven. I surely didn't expect that much of the writing centered around a boring protagonist.

And yes, I very well understand that there are justifications for Sieg being a bland guy but it doesn't mean I have to like it. Especially not after seeing Sieg better represented here in Grand Order than he was in his own source material.
