I analyze real people and characters very differently. If Kud existed in real life, we’d probably be best friends because of her interests and I’d completely overlook all of her quirks and verbal ticks or whatever.
However, as a character, she is for some reason very annoying to me. I think the reason for this is that she has an “outer” personality that is extremely childish, while she also has an extremely appealing (at least to me) “inner” personality. During common route and a fair bit of her route, she’s almost exclusively only showing this “outer” personality that I can’t cope with. It’s not that I hate her accent or that she is hard to understand. The reason why I complain about “na no desu” is that most of the time it’s used as an exclamation, and I find it childish to be using exclamations everywhere. Now, if that was just a verbal quirk but she was actually not meaning to be euphroric about pretty much anything, I wouldn’t mind, the same way that characters with verbal ticks like Misuzu don’t bother me at all.
So to clear it up, I’m not complaining about Kud for being unable to speak a language as a philologist would. I’m ultimately complaining about her rather childish “outer” personality.
