I think Shadowsight is a very kind and caring cat, who gets a bit too much hate because of who his parents are. I'm sure there are other reasons why someone would dislike him, but from what I've seen, is it's because he's Dovewing and Tigerheart's child.
He's made some mistakes in his past, like when he accidentally caused the death of Juniperclaw, however, I don't hold that against him, because he wasn't malicious in doing what he did, he only did it because he thought it would help the clans, and he was only a kit.
Anyway, I really like Shadowsight, he is my fifth favorite ShadowClan medicine cat, and my favorite current protagonist.
What are your thoughts on him?

I was into him as a character the moment he was a kit running around the Med. Den tangling in Alder's legs tripping him up because that enthusiasm for healing was so rare so it got me loving him on the spot.
Then his PoV came, and I wanted nothing more than to just protect him. I can't wait for the arc to end and if he's okay by then he can be a normal, if not somewhat odd, cat again who sorts herbs to help calm himself down and all that (It might sound weird but I kinda HC him as autistic like me because of that, we can organize stuff a lot to have some sense of order and control in our lives and that's relaxing so it's... relatable really. And seeing as Shadow just wants a normal life it suits his character, he can't control his seizures but hey that yarrow and marigold and Daisy leaves he was working with are in neat piles and that probably makes him happy to some degree. *sweats* Just a lil' hc ofc).
Let him live and be happy, Starclan Damnnit I love him too much to see him get hurt all the time. Dude's growing up in a dystopian hell rn. ;.;

I really like that HC, I hope that Shadowsight continues loving his job as a medicine cat, it's nice that after soo many cats being forced into the position, one actually WANTED to be a med-cat.

He seems like an okay character that gets too much hate. Plus he wasn't forced into the meddie role. Phew.

He’s my favorite of the current main characters.

He’s my favorite of the current main characters. Mine too and probably my favorite out of the main series protagonists except Firestar. Twigbranch and Stormfur (if he counts) are SUPER close as well.

I adore Shadowsight. I will protect him at all costs. (Even though he is basically immortal, considering how he survived in Veil of Shadows and kinda just walked it off. Gosh I love that boy)

I like the guy a lot. I'm glad he actually has an interest in being a medicine cat and wasn't forced into it like his poor mentor was.
Though as much as I like him, part of me still does wish he was actually killed by the impostor back in The Silent Thaw. Like...come on, there's no reason for him to have lived through that. But, in the end, I am quite glad he's still around.

I like him, but I wish we got to see more of him just vibing in ShadowClan. It feels like he's never given the chance to just be Shadowsight. All of his scenes are plot driven, and I feel like it hurts his character.

All of his scenes are plot driven, and I feel like it hurts his character. I do agree unfortunately. :c As much as I love how plot-driven his chapters are (As it's great to not have an arc where everything hits a standstill for the sake of some BS side-plot or something like it), I hope if we get a break we can just see Shadowsight work and be himself without all the stress to deal with. Like, how does he work in a more relaxed environment? I wanna be able to actually see through him in such a setting before we're out of his PoV.

Dude's a savage, you can't kill him! You could pull a Scourge (Or Tawnypelt now lol) on him and he'd walk it off.
In all seriousness, He's a great character. I'd love to see more of him when he's not driving the plot entirely so we could get more of his personality.
Also I wanna see some interactions between him, Root, and Briss all at once, I don't think we've seen the three of them in the same place before aside from the Gathering. IIRC, we haven't even seen him interact with Bristlefrost at all in TBC.

There are people that dislike him simply for how he's written as a character in the story and the choices he makes, not just because of who his parents are. But that's just my opinion on the matter. I don't hate him, but I don't care for him, and just find his POV less interesting than the others, not to mention the Erins bias for him is too blatant for my tastes.
