Isn’t Jason is supposed to be an asshole?

I see everyone complain about Jason being a bipolar and annoying sack of shit in he who fights with monsters who is on his own high horse about everything and thinks he is the one in the right…. but I feel that is part of the point?

He gets dropped into a world completely different from his, sees some stuff that could easily give the most normal sort of person PTSD and I feel as though that makes him into the annoying asshole he is.

Hell the name of the series is “He who fights with monsters” which is LITERALLY quoting Nietzche’s famous “He who fights with monsters must take care lest he becomes a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes into you.”

I can understand if you don’t like that sort of character, if that’s the case don’t read it. But repeatedly complaining about a character being an annoying asshole when (in my opinion) the entire point of the character is to be an annoying asshole makes no sense.

If constantly referencing 80s TV shows is considered funny. Then yes. He is very funny.
