it's more of the fact that they are dark skinned, in a tribe and have "unrefined" behaviour. can't you connect the dots? and this happens in a lot of manhwas and other media as well. the other villains have fair skin but are all nobles
i can see why op felt unsettled/upset. we can enjoy it but still be critical at the same time

That's a weird statement to make. For most of fantasy novels even in the fictionalised version the East was presented as this mystic oriental region. Do you think that isn't because of how the real world treated the east as the mystical other for literal centuries. Its not that difficult to enjoy stories but still pick up on this stuff. The op is right. Being Asian myself I can easily tell you that many Asians dislike darker skins. Much of this is unrelated to discrimination against black people. Rather it's a result of internal history that being labourers etc were generally darker skinned due to being in the sun and hence considered lesser and also because of post effects of colonialism.

stop with the bs and act like they are the worst villains in this story, cause they are not. and they not even humans! and it isn't discrimination against black people!! stop making everything about discrimination or not discrimination!! it is a very narrow-minded mind and it is very annoying since it isn't about black or white people at all! they not humans!

So childish. It's so clear you didn't even read what I wrote because I clearly stated that such portrayal of dark skin is not related to black people when the authors are from the east. Asia has its own unique struggles with this. It's a fact that from tv shows to movies to novels etc many media mostly unconsciously put dark skinned people in the antagonist role. As the other comment said, the beings here aren't the worst villains but they do fall into the savage trope. Just because you never learned critical analysis doesn't mean everyone else can't comment on it. Ignore our discussion if it bugs you so much. #-.-)

then tell me why is there so many isakei stories with black skin ML and I even find black skin FL too if you think they always discriminate?!
and by the way if they really did discrimination, all the white people in this story would have be good, pure, kind people with no bad white man! but the fact is it isn't the case at all!! the worse villain in this story is A WHITE SKIN MAN AND WOMEN!
… why are all the bad guys gotta be darker skinned??
( ̄へ ̄)it just does not sit right with my soul.
like maybe i’m projecting but…
