"Eren is still a good character"
This take honestly irritates me as a writer because I don't know if the person is geniunely dumb/uneducated or simply trolling me. In this thread I will explore just ONE example why Eren objectively stopped being well written character since 139.

Since chapter 51 Isayama spent a lot of time trying to convince readers Historia is important to Eren. Let's say... she was supposed to be just his friend. Eren told us many times (including through his inner voice) that he can't sacrifice Historia or her kids.
Now let's look at Eren in 139. What we see? He used traumas and vulnerability of Historia AND Floch to gaslight them into participating in rumbling. Both were horrified but reluctantly agreed with it for the sake of Paradis.
Both were deceived because apparently Eren never intended to protect Paradis in the first place. And honestly Floch got it much better. At least Eren still considered him as a friend (like Sasha or Hange). Historia on the other hand...
As of 139 it's canon that Eren never cared about her. She isn't even in his friend shard like Floch. She is nothing to Eren in 139. Just a walking sack of meat he forced to go along with his actions to become his accomplice and get pregnant.
He lied to her about his plan and never told the truth like he did to his friends like Pieck (lol) or Gabi (lmao). Eren left Paradis in much more worse situation than it was BEFORE rumbling and dumped all responsibilities to deal with his actions on her alone.
It's canon now that Eren is a pathetic weakling, a genocidal psycopath and an incel with incest fetish.
But it's also canon that he is a badly written (or butchered) character now. Because "all his lines, even inner thoughts, were lies" is objectively bad writing...

...despite bestiality, abuse and incest enjoyers screaming in denial. I, or any of you, can list more problems with his character after 139. You don't need a degree in literature for that. Just common sense.
