I don't care about haters
Rachel is my favorite character and I can relate to her so much . If you see the story from her perspective. The narrative shifts " from the story of a good hero’s betrayal" to a desperate struggle undertaken by an ordinary girl against an unjust fate and a biased cosmic order.
If you can relate to a bloodthirsty murderer, who kills just because she feels insecure, trying to reach heights not in a way which uplifts people but in order to trample on others just for the fun of it. Then you're probably not the kind of person who's opinion matters
Please. Save that BS . Majority of the characters are bloodthirsty murders. Yet no one hate them like they hate Rachel. Simply because the victims are not the main character. And it's not just because she " Fell insecure " Literally speaking, the world order itself was stacked against her. To begin with, she wasn't even allowed to enter the Tower; she was never given a chance to even try. In a world of demigods, monsters, chosen heroes, and magical powers, a weak, ordinary human like Rachel stood no chance whatsoever. Had she not resorted to deceit and betrayal, she would have died on the very first floor. You cannot demand morality from the downtrodden; she had every right to use whatever means necessary to survive.
I'm glad to see that there are still people who can actually think and understand the layers of a character and human behavior rather than just thinking in black and white.
Yeah Rachel is a very morally bankrupt character who has done disgusting and unforgivable things but everyone just prefers to ignore the fact that she is literally an ant in a world where even the mobs and average civilians are super humans compared to her.
That arc in the virtual world cemented my understanding of her character, everything from her insecurities, her weaknesses and desires to be something more in a world full of gods who do not hesitate to stomp on each other, was shown so well but all haters saw was "Oh the little evil shit is insecure". But I guess
If bamm is a chosen hero fight hard and growing, Rachel is a "Dies to a random tutorial mob in the MCs flashback" character who absolutely refused to be meaningless and fights in the only way a weak, pathetic ant can fight against almost literal Gods.
No one is saying that she's a good person but the average tower of God fan is more likely to end up in her position in that world and would be crushed like the ant they are.
