Fate/stay night is a really cool game. The characters are fun, the game's writing is great, and the lore it creates is very interesting. Honestly I get why the Fate franchise became so huge.

Unfortunately I could only really stand to play about one and a half routes of the game because I don't really like Emiya as a protagonist. Not that he's bad (he is a bit annoying though) but I don't relate to Emiya at all and wouldn't make most of the decisions available in any situation. He's also like weirdly sexist (or chivalrous... which is just sexism but with better intent I guess) in Saber's route where he's like "GIRLS SHOULDN'T FIGHT" which is kinda weird considering she's better at fighting than most other characters in the game lmao

The sexism is irrating because it's the one trait that isn't really acknowledged as bad. Even Rin calling him ends with a "that's our Shirou moment". Like the romance falls flat because the girls change for his benefit as opposed to theirs.
