in fiction is einar from vinland saga
i agree with your take
my annoyance just comes from the constant mischaracterization of the central theme and how it's been warped into some random self improvement sigma bullshit for clicks and engagement
and then those who do engage with it act like they learned an otherworldly lesson through passively watching and just shut down any criticism under the guise of the other person "not understanding" the media
vinland saga was solid tho i'm lowk just hating for the sake of it
