I think having a strong protagonist can go a long way in making any form of media more enjoyable. Regardless if they're a good or bad person, if the character is well written, it can make a whole lot of difference. After all, this is the character we're gonna be spending the most amount of time with. And while I find DanganRonpa to be an enjoyable mystery with some fun and well written side characters, the protagonist here, Makoto Naegi, falls short in being a good character in my opinion, and the game honestly suffers for it, I feel. Makoto not understanding a lot of things, and Kyoko having to drip feed him information bogs the game's writing down. It feels entirely for the sake of the player and not for any actual story reason.
