To expand on this; let's just look at what an outside observer would see:This seems like something I would have read when I first discovered fanfiction over ten years ago, because look at that cool, dark character. He's so strong and doesn't take shit from anybody.
Honestly, brainjacking a girl in a ridiculously violent way just because she doesn't listen to him and has legitimate questions about what the hell's going on would probably still have made me drop the fic even back then, because I can't stand this kind of shit. Maybe she would have cooperated with him on her own, if he just patiently explained wht the shit's going on, but no he jsut rams a knife in her brain. I'll just assume this will happen to every girl he meets and will just get even worse as thing progress.
This is the guy we are supposed to cheer for? Why is everybody so obsessed with making their protagonist a fucking asshole?
A guy walks through a wasteland until he meets a couple of wild dogs. He then flips the fuck out and brutally murders them, even torturing one to death by destroying each limb seperately. He then continues on ignoring the massacre until he reaches his destination. We now see an inactive robot girl. The guy activates the robot and she begins to speak and it is immediately apparent that she is intelligent and a person in her own right. He ignores her questions and then suddenly rams a knife into her head. When she next speaks, she says that he just reprogrammed her against her will and she now has to follow his orders, effectively turning her into his slave.
In a lot of other works this might be the introductory chapter of the villain, showing us what he's willing to do and giving us a reason why the hero has to defeat him. Or maybe the girl would be the protagonist and now has to escape from the villain. But not in this story. Here the brainjacking, extremely violent slaver is our hero.
I'll just assume that every girl he brainjacks is going to forgive the hero for enslaving her eventually and will fall in love with him or at least will suddenly start to like him for no apparent reason.
It's also ridiculous to assume that any shipgirl would always follow every order her commander has made or my girls would actually target the enemy BB's first instead of wasting their shots on puny destroyers.
