The moment I knew I was going to pick up my characters.

It varies for everyone.

Komaeda:I started the game not even wanting to like him. I think it was around chapter 4 and I was like "I have to play him."

Sometimes when I play one character I will end up picking those adjacent if they interact a lot.

So in this case I also made journals for Nanami and Hinata. (Though I don't actually feel comfortable playing Hinata, and my voice for Nanami is weak.)

Shirotani: This was more slow burn. I made the journal a long time ago because I liked him and thought it would be interesting to try, but never did. It wasn't until recently I decided to actually try. Though, he might be a bit difficult for games....

Wei Wuxian: When I watched the Donghua I didn't really care, he grew on me through Untamed, the Manhua and novel killed me though and I pretty much was just "Yes, this is a brat, he hits a lot of my favored traits"

I just, really like troll characters with a heart of gold I guess. orz

Wen Ning actually struck me while watching the Donghua, I like those kinds of characters and have played similar in the past.

Though I didn't actually make a journal until later

I only made Lan Wangji because he seemed interesting to try and looked like less people play him.

Shen QingQiu: I don't know when it hit me, but, again I am soft to these kinds of characters. His internal raging while being calm on the outside is hilarious.
