In any case, i thought that dude was trash anyway so I don’t feel too bad about his demise and his behavior likely meant he was probably involved in unsavory stuff. Although, I’m pretty sure people might come looking for him so I’m curious as to what lady Anna will do then.

There’s not a single reason in-character of why the nuns would take care of a child and think that she would become a murderer. It would make a lot more sense if they instead hide that from her and she discovered it later.
Anyway, I really can’t stand cannibalism, but I’ll try to read a bit more and see if I’ll drop it.

I’d say it’s the reason most things happen in life. People suck. People, especially those in “morally superior” positions like to lord faults over people. The sins of the father and that sort of thing. It’s not something done out of logic, it’s done out of cruelty.
Though I’d say this isn’t the series for you seeing as it’s literally about cannibalism (not meant as a mean comment!)

@MistressC I know that it can happen in real life, but when you write a story, if your character has zero reasoning other than "he’s bad, lol", he isn’t even a character, just a plot device, and that kills the immersion and the story itself. Like I said, it would be way better if there was maybe one "bad nun” that would see our protagonist as a dangerous person in the future. It makes no sense whatsoever for suddenly every single one of the nuns (who are taking care of an orphanage without wanting anything back, like a "good person") believe in some random destiny or murderous heritage, even more when considering that the catholicism is exactly the opposite of that.
Anyway, that just bothered me. I don’t mind the reasoning, just as how it was presented. But I guess "church’s bad lmao" is good enough.
But let’s see how this develops, I feel that it has some potential, but it will depend on how it will manage the whole cannibalism thing.

I agree about characters becoming plot devices, but I don't think that's necessarily bad. What you decide to not cover in a story is important. If we are reading a work that focuses on the relation of two characters, going into the backstory to identify why some third character did something is a bit off-point. You can't cover everything.
In this case, what would be gained from knowing definitively 'why' the nuns act as they did? Well, we might learn more about society. We might learn about how Lady Cannibal knows about the fire. We might understand the nuns better. Of these things, I think only the second adds to this particular story(which seems to be about the relation between two characters). In such a case, the knowledge might be kept for later as a reveal.
I think the way that the nuns acted isn't that unusual. Being a nun, catholic, or working at an orphanage are not things that preclude people from treating children unfairly. Rather, I'd imagine each would provide its own reasons for doing so. This complaint just betrays a lack of imagination or the willingness to use it.

Thanks for the discussion! I’ve been reading this as it’s been getting translated. Sadly this series is only 6 chapters long so we are going to be looking for a replacement soon so if anyone has an idea please feel free to message me or join our discord :)
