Right! I loved the villain stuff at first but it's become tropey and way too common. I appeciate that the MC, while a good guy, is not conventionaly mindlessly self-sacrificing like in older stories. He's complex with a very clear influence on his behavior and personality from growing up in the slums. He's not looking to save the world, that's to big for a slum kid but he wants to do what feels right to him and take care of his own.
yes i totally agree and he has actual genuine emotions and feelings, when other mcs tend to be an empty shell, so i love seeing him in shock when he visits the nobles and the castles. and he doesn’t have a humongous cheat, and seeing him develop his own monstrous talent is so fun and makes this story really nice
WTFFFF THIS IS SO GOOD
WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE HOW GOOD RHIS STORY IS
i love how it’s like a traditional story of a blonde blue eyes hero who’s talented at the sword, these days villains are a lot more popular and so i haven’t read a story like this in a while
AND THE ART OML so beautiful(sir joseph literally just let me lick your feet) and the dialogue!!??! so fucking good
