I think there's a misunderstanding. I don't hate good morals. I dislike people that talk big morals but don't do anything to solve the problem. It's the "thoughts and prayers" response to a mass shooting. Don't get me wrong Shinji fights monsters but spends the entire series of Ryuki basically doing nothing to actually stop the Rider fights. He constantly gets his own morals questions by everyone around him because he doesn't have an answer to how he can keep his morals and still survive/win the Kamen Rider battle. It's just a frustrating kind of character because he gets to be righteous purely by the act of doing nothing and being the main character while everyone else constantly just beats the shit out of each other. He's almost too passive in his own series almost everything he does is reactionary his few stand out moments have only been in this last arc where he finally actually is proactive, like saving Kagawas family.

Godai is by far my favorite protagonist still so don't lump me in with edgy crowd, I just hate the type of character Shinji is, it's my least favorite type of lead for a series. He's great in comedic moments but as a lead character he just hasn't done it for me. The best episode was when he thought he killed Zolda (who he thought was Goro) and he had that whole mental breakdown thing but once it all got cleared up it's like it never mattered. Ryuki mostly feels like it has this problem where character development gets reset every so often and it's very weird to me.
