Will drop the first couple of chapters in the nest 2 days at the latest.
Yeah, keeping up appearances is a big thing for China apparently. All the face-slapping and saving face scenes in the CN novels are there for a reason. Makes sense in a country where the government censors anything remotely bad about themselves. From what I have been seeing on the news recently, the Indians are headed on a similar path.
She had discussed this with Doug on the plane about this. It was a weird cultural shock to them. In the West and even in neighboring India, embellishing the struggles and the hard-fought rise to power was a highlight of any success story. But in China, the struggles were the footnote and the success itself was the story. The unnatural focus on saving face meant they hid anything they thought was a blemish.

I started off this story with a very vague outline so even I wasnt sure how or where the plot would go most of the times. It just happened. But I'm aware of what you're saying and trying to make the MC more involved.
Author here, I have taken some liberties with the characterization and story of Doom to better fit my narrative. So please take that into consideration.

The MC's motivation to shepherd humanity was established right from the start though. It was the main point of the story, not the MC. But I agree that the MC has been too passive in the recent chapters. I'm trying to write him back into the story without his OP status making it too stupid.
There is no favoritism or patriotism regarding India anywhere in this story. The only thing I've used as a positive is the Indian culture without any glorification. I'm getting tired of people seeing a story set anywhere except the US and thinking that it must be like chinese propaganda novels.
It's just like Molecule Man can manipulate things at a smaller scale than molecules but his power is still called moleculekinesis. Just a name.
"Yes, think of me as a human 3D printer but on an atomic scale. Molecular manipulation is a very handy power. Too bad I can't actually create souls though."

You don't say MCU shows favoritism to USA do you? It's just a setting, a place where the story is set. The mythology and lore in India plus it's geopolitical situation suited my story so it was chosen. As for why I retell stories from comics like Thanos' origin? It's because his story is important to explain how he is defeated later in the story.
I see what you mean. I didnt mean for it to be him answering the question, it was referring to the situation. But I can see that my writing was a bit confusing there
Wiping his face, Chris smiled wryly and patted Alex on the back, "You and me both, buddy. You and me both." The two men once again entered the hospital room.
