I confused. Then isn't the manhwa better than the novel if he is that 'jerk'? And also did he rlly didn't have that feeling "kind" when he see the child beinf torture and died with his family?.
Tbh i like the manhwa tho it sometimes so cliche and cringe (a bit only) but still good. Are the novel rlly better than manhwa?
MC was a demon king being a jerk is kind of his thing but doing a bizarre thing such as doing act of kindness while being a jerk is what makes him fun. He just want to try a different life when he tried to do kind acts first, of course that might change as he grows.
Helping the child is just a whim but I think he feel angry about his action being trampled + his disgust with the cult.
Manhwas with generic art style (the artsyle that looks good on the outside but actually soulless) are mostly bad. The flow of the story is abrupt many interesting detail are gone with the adaptation.
Bad adaptation, just reading 5 chapters I can already see that the manhwa doesn't capture Zeke's image from the novel. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧ The scenes were made like MC's someone who's secretly kind behind a facade but that's NO. MC is a twisted person ,his kindness is not from conscience or a persona but what others should consider as kind acts. For example "there's bad guy so beating him to a pulp must be kindness" kind of thing.
He's just doing kind acts as a way to live a different life from being a demon king so he referred to the hero's words in past life just to try but no feeling at all.His twisted satisfaction in beating up bad guys and getting rewarded for it makes him think it is his calling to beat up bad guys because of his talent for destroying things as it is also an "act of kindness".
MC isn't someone who will give life advice for fcks sake like he has some attachment for the family. He will beat someone and thinks he's doing them a favor.
