Does anyone know why the members listen to him even tho he's the "weakest" in the group?? Cuz I feel like I missed a whole chapter here. I hoped there were like some crazy backstory to it but up until now there are none.

His drive, his unwavering dedication despite being so weak, his straightforwardness, the way he doesn’t boss them around, his incredible growth in battle... Those are the reasons. And he also somehow has the ability to inspire their battle spirit. Like how the lazy blonde is only ever motivated to fight when he’s around, etc. that’s literally all there is to it.

i think it's probably because he was so weak that all of them were fine with following him, since he never forced them to act like a team and was more like a messenger to convey orders from their higher-ups. given how they were all overpowered and did NOT get along but had to be on the same division, it'd be better to prop up a third-party as their leader. encrid is someone who's so powerless that he can't make any of them do anything they don't want, but is neutral enough that he tames down any infighting. since none of the members really care about the survival of the group or even about each other, those responsibilities become encrid's issues, which is probably why they found him so convenient to work under, since most leaders would be way more involved in them as a team, while encrid from the start said that they just did whatever they wanted and never listened to anyone. and you can see how their attitude changed from the start to now, with all of them treating each other like independents at the same hierarchal level (such as jax bluntly telling encrid he owed him for covering his post, with now all of them respecting him like he's really their boss. so i think they followed him at first because encrid was self-aware enough to know he wasn't equals with any of them, and in turn they found him pleasant enough to continue working under him for the sake of convenience.

Reading this left a bad taste in my mouth. Like fym " if I were single I would've go for you in a heartbeat"?? Excuse me in which scenario, in which context, in which situation is saying this even even REMOTELY acceptable knowing damn well you have a perfect boyfriend waiting for you at home?? istg when I read that line I felt my stomach drop. Imagine if the uke heard that, no excuses would save him.
Anyone has raws?
