I was watching a gameplay by ManlyBadassHero, and the game he was playing was Parasite in Love. Ladies and gents and fellow human beans, that's how you write a strong female lead who wants to survive from a brain eating amoeba who violates her body and her pagkatao.
The voice acting and the voice of Marlowe was also such a great choice because she sounds so mature and level headed, and base from her dailogues you can see that she is someone who is mentally strong.
The storyline can also be used as a realistic representation of sexual abuse victims, kidnapping survivors and domestic abuse experiences and the aftermath. Especially there are tons of "dating games" where obsessive and unhealthy behaviors of male leads are romanticized and the small acts of kindness is such a rare thing that everytime the female lead gets an ounce of respect from them, she ended up developing romantic feelings for them, and that is such a bad trope to follow. I mean, I do know that my guilty pleasure is to simp over fictional assholes, who if I ever get hurt, would not even look in my direction, and they might even be the reason I get hurt, but you'll get what I'm saying.
So anyways, it's such a fresh breathe of air to finally have a female lead feel great despise to the "male lead"
