I mean, i meant to say more but accidentally sent. Whatever, I was trying to be brief in my first comment more drawing a parallel with abusive (both sexual and non) mothers leading to murderous serial killers since this is a thing in reality so makes him somewhat realistic. I suppose he's more of a mass murderer though.
I'm losing my point again, but ultimately I know he was abused in various ways by his mother including sexually. But this kind of abuse doesn't automatically mean people don't have emotions or not understand them. Of course it can do this if people are predisposed to psychopathy, add multiple brain injuries and you have a perfect cocktail.
All I want to say is, sexual abuse does not make people unable to understand emotions or turn them into murderers. I know that's not what you were saying but just in case you were ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
Well hell of paragraph of yours I will just say he is a emperor been to battle and killed many people eventually made him lose his mind i m not concluding his getting abused by his mother lead him to become like this entirely... Put it in place of someone who can kill anyone without getting questioned made garon different from modern people you are referring to ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
Ye very true but he goes on to say he killed mcs mum because he could and vaguely because he enjoys ripping their eyes out yeah? (If I remember correctly) So he is getting enjoyment from the murder and i don't suppose the human psyche has changed so much that the abuse wont have played a part. He was off as a kid before he went to war but I do agree that won't of helped, and like you say being an emperor who can do whatever they want would send people weird too.
I figure he's a genghis khan type, and just so happens the mc is someone who can actually stop him behaving this way. Looking at him this way he's a bit more understandable, just no more likeable (≧∀≦)

Did the ml really kill the mc’s mother? If yes, why would ppl think its okay for them to be together?
