    He’s also more religious and sorta superstitious He’s not in it for the adventure, he’s a wandering vigilante. He also does minor character development, given he stops being so apprehensive of his witch doctor friend when he’s proven a good guy and takes the staff he was given. I think he even...

    Only problem so far for me, is that I don’t get too much of a sense of MC’s being that different from one another personality wise. Almost all have the whole “I am a brutal and simple person, yet I am actually surprisingly careful and thoughtful in-spite of what my frame suggests” and can...

    Yeah, that said, they’re still way better than most modern day bland nondescript Nice Guy Harem MCs Course, I think there are slight differences like Bran Brak Morn while a mercenary repeatedly emphasizing him being a Christian and a Celt and disliking Pagan Vikings Solomon Kane doing his...

    Just so you all know, I haven't managed to read everything by Robert E. Howard yet, I have currently finished Kull, Conan, Bran Brak Morn and Solomon Kane in the Robert E.
