@Sofa_King_Cold Agreed. Criticism isn't a bad thing and not everyone is perfect. The protagonist being accurately accessed as "unable to continue the journey" doesn't have to always be treated as being deserted by their friends. If anything, its because the friends are worried about them dying that they are being let go is a very realistic worry, because for the people in the story, it isn't a game they're playing but a job with risks to their life.
