feotakahariI saw a video arguing that the protagonist of Black Souls is supposed to be a bad person even at 0 sin. He doesn't really care about any of these women; he just thinks they can fill the hole in his life. I disagreed with this take. His relationships are pretty shallow at first, but he bonds with some of them in their endings.
Black Souls 2 makes the protagonist more obviously transactional. He treats women as vending machines--currency goes in, sexual favors come out.
On the one hand, if the point of Black Souls really was supposed to be that the protagonist didn't care, then I clearly missed that. On the other hand, the blatancy of Black Souls 2 feels like it's objectifying women to make a point about how the protagonist objectifies women.
