Hello everyone. My favorite character of all time is Ezreal from League of Legends. All of his writers were fired and the company has stated they have zero future plans for him story-wise. I feel defeated. I want to read books with stories similar to his and I would really, really appreciate it if someone could help me find a story I could love just as much.
Ezreal’s story appealed to me because it’s the story of a spelunker/explorer who coping with tragedy and parental neglect who uses his wanderlust to find meaning in his life. He is a deeply lonely character who would never admit to it. He uses quips and humor to hide his admonishment of others and hide from himself. His story has deep ties to the impacts of England’s colonization and plundering and how capitalism disrupts both society and the individual at their core morally. I love stories that are deep character examinations laced with tragedy, loss, and growth for very personal reasons. The story I would be looking for does not have to be fantasy or contain fantasy elements but it would be appreciated. If the character exploring something about the world helped them learn more about themselves and had more of a darker tone, I would appreciate that a lot. I would like the story to be primarily focused on the protagonist’s struggles and internal thoughts.
I’m sorry if this post is juvenile or stupid. I’ve never posted here before and I’m simply looking for a way to safely cope with my struggles that is reflected within fiction. The story I would be looking for does not have to perfectly align with the things I mentioned if you have better ideas that you think I would like. Even responding at all would make me happy. Thank you for reading.
