Is Rion's character inconsistent?

[Sanju Lali]

In the fast paced development in the story Rion's character appeared like abruptly changed because due to the circumstances that Rion faced he had to change his behavior to adapt. However, some of his personality trait remained same like his intelligence.

I feel like the beginning of the story set Rion up for success, as he had a lot of interesting traits. He was smart, shy, inexperienced with his powers, loved music, quoted rap lyrics to answer a teacher's question, etc. But it seemed like as soon as the plot kicked in, all of that went away. His love of music was never mentioned again, he never made another quote, and he lost the shyness he had at the beginning.

Do you think that the author dropped Rion's unique character traits to focus on the plot, and did it affect your opinion of the book? Is Rion a consistent character from the beginning to the end of the story?

Although it was evident that some of Rion's character traits were never mention in the larger section of the book, I think it could not be viewed as an inconsistency more so in a fast-paced novel like this. I think the author was concentrating on his new developments, new priorities, and responsibilities.

I believe that Rion is consistent. Come to think of it, as we grow and experience life, there is always a need to adapt to changes. Such was the case of Rion and I can't see it as being inconsistent.

[Sarah C McHum]

I won't say inconsistent. He just changed to adapt the new environment around him. And that's pretty normal for characters to change. Maybe the only mistake is the changes are too abrupt, and the readers aren't ready to accept it

[Hogwarts03]

I wouldn't say that he is completely inconsistent. The author may have done away with all his previous qualities from high school in order to follow a character arcs and develop his character from a shy boy to a hero. However, I do understand where the inconsistent aspect comes from. In the name of character development, the author completely replaced high school Rion with another version to better suit the plot. I think that is quite unrealistic as even through character development, a character's best features remain while they improve in other less refined areas. A character cannot become someone else completely, unless they are faking.
So, I don't believe Rion's character was completely inconsistent but did have some gray area.

I think on this note, there was a little bit of inconsistency. Rion surprised his teacher with the music quote & I really enjoyed that scene. I was surprised that this trait seemed to vanish later. It should have been developed better.

Rion's inconsistency in his character was part of his development but, occurred to be forgotten as the story goes on. His desirable traits at the beginning of the story were shifted to what he needs to have to overcome the struggles. It's not that bad at all.

[Sushan Ekanayake]

I agree with you. Seemingly the author has simply focused on his plot but not on the characters. It has affected even his main protagonist. So Rion's character qualities has changed throughout the story. I think it is a flaw of the story that the author has made by giving too much attention to the plot.

[Humera955]

Yaa it was little inconsistent, but i think that was necessary for the climax of the story. I would say it was more of character development of rion and in a good way.

[Daniel Jembi]

I don't think Rion's character is inconsistent because life often comes with sudden changes. His personality as a high school student would naturally undergo a change when he had new responsibilities.

[Ailakhu Yusau Aizhebiomon]

I think the author highlighted those characteristics of Rion at the beginning of book just to give a details description of Rion's personality and that does not insinuates that Rion's character is inconsistent. However, I think those details and plots were not necessary since they do not define Rion in the later part of the book.

[Melissa VanCleave Plant]

Overall, 17-year-olds are pretty inconsistent. Now throw in trying to fight for your life with abilities you barely understand and people you just met, and I think the author did a good job portraying this character. Rion is a typical, hormonal, indecisive, clueless teenager. He's never had family, relationships, or any sort of stability. His entire life is inconsistent.

[Satwik Mohanty]

I would not say that his character was inconsistent but he had some development. But this was too fast, and that's why it seems inconsistent. I think the author should have given Rion more time for steady development.

[EternalD]

There's nothing inconsistent about it. It's perfectly natural to imagine that someone who discovers that he has extraordinary powers above the average person will have much more confidence and self-esteem. The same can be seen in Spider-Man movies. Once he realizes he is powerful, his confidence levels rise significantly.

I noticed Rion changed as I made progress in the plot. However I did not think much of this and it didn't change my opinion about it because despite the inconsistency of Rion, he was still a well made character and was still essential to the plot. I dont even see how rapping or loving music would have improved the book anyway.
