That bastard... If anyone insulted my mom like that I would want to erase him too.

 

[Invader_Retro]

This guy is really lower than trash I can see why his son came out like that >_>

Should've killed both the son and the dad.

@Terrichi waaaahhh I was just going off the regular latest chapters schedule so far

that is a nice update ty

 

[desaurido]

When the fat dude start insulting his mom I was saying "kill this fucker" to this screen. Pretty refreshing that the MC and the maid were thinking the same thing.

 

[Ironclad]

He was your typical NEET in his previous life right? Why would he give a shit if his mother isn't a noble? Rather getting insulted would only affirm that not being of noble birth is shameful. The duke already looked like a fool having just disowned his son to save face. Acknowledging that Tarkot was defeated by a commoner would only further the humiliation. Going really out of your way to escalate the situation just for a convenient antagonist.

 

[screamdoom]

well, doesn't change the fact that his mother was a whore, what's the point anyway

 

[scripted]

does the novel explain more about his mother
if so which chapter?

 

[UnieCetterie]

Either this mother is a hoe or she went full emergence/victim girls on those nobles.

You know, we really didn't need the explicit evil aura, dutch angles, and inverted shading to express that this is a bad guy. Not to mention that you also didn't need to make him look like a cardboard stereotype of a corrupt noble. It just feels like a confidence issue on the part of the artist. He's scared that he can't get the tone of the story across in a natural way, so let's just use every single trope to make this guy look evil.

Wouldn't there be a lot more weight to the story if we decided ourselves that this guy is a bastard, rather than needing the mangaka to spoonfeed that to us? It's not as if it was going to be obscure anyway. The dude is something like a Megatron-level of absurd, illogical evil by his dialogue alone. I think of all the complaints I have with manga/light novels, insulting the reader's intelligence is my biggest pet peeve.

@Aretheus
The manga is aimed for shounen apparently, and too subtle of an evilness would go over the heads of plenty of readers. You'd be surprised how there are still plenty of consumers who could still misread characters and scenes unless a relationship chart or an exposition is thrown at their face.
