Getting Middle Earth: Shadow of War vibes
I really like we’re it’s going so far

Cover this world with death. DEATH TO THE LIVING!

@Quickshot76
If their leader is wrong, and they follow him, they are automatically wrong as well. It's basic logic. It's called guilty by association. Even a 5 year old child would understant that concept if he was being bullied by 2 kids, where one ordered the other to beat him up.

@phil777 your statements are both true and meaningful. the only con so far to this manga is that the chapters aren't longer

 

[Quickshot76]

@phil777

the question is, do they know about all of this? a child wouldn't understand that because the kingdom is corrupt, they executed the hero. they only think; hero bad, kingdom good.

if the citizens knew about all the shit this kingdom is doing, then yeah, they're wrong. but if they didn't, then why are they suffering for it?
also you can't blame a child for blindingly following their parents without questioning them. that's what kids do.

@Quickshot76

Some kids are rebellious. Especially at puberty. And since the kingdom participated in throwing rocks at them in the first chapter, I'd say they're complicit.

It's bad parenting then. The parent is as guilty as the child for not bringing up their kids in an upstanding way. For example, the bully's parents are just as guilty for letting this bad behavior go on, whether they knew it or not.

Also, in this precise scenario, the 5 year old child sees the older one lording over the other and telling it to bully him. Which is rather similar to our current situation, with the clergyman urging the bystanders to agress the hero and the sage.

Not to mention rebelling against authority in this case would probably cost them their lives as well. Note also that 10 years have passed. So the kids of those people back then have probably become as rotten as them.

It's nice to see characters with believable personalities for once. I got sick of the usual "I want to destroy the world because I'm evil" cliches.

"and just like that"

it aint hard at all...nope

 

[PeachyBee]

This is honestly almost cartoonish. It’s so obvious that the king’s motivation (or lack thereof) is just so the author can write a turn-your-brain-off edgy power fantasy that doesn’t really make sense. They didn’t even go with “she was too popular and it threatened my legitimacy” or “the masses began to reconsider their government due to your and my actions” or anything that required just an iota of thought. 4/10.

overlord vibes

 

[izayamikaelis]

oh please...he did it for his own selfishness...i mean if he didn't execute them then there would be no need for this story to even happen lol

 

[Booyah-FF]

Ahh... the Lich King comes back

 

[MelonReads]

Overlord from the bottom up.
So.... Overlord but shonen?
I want to be the best Lich King that no one ever was?
Dundundunduuuun

 

[Kami_Nana]

@MelonReads This is Seinen, not Shounen.

 

[Laxius]

That was badass. All in the name of love!

 

[MelonReads]

@Kami_Nana You missed the joke
The MC starting from the bottom up is a shonen trope

 

[Opticalwinter]

New title: "Simping so hard for a girl that never said "I love you" or vice versa -even right before we were executed- that I stayed undead and am trying to destroy the world in her memory while carrying her bones" the manga.

 

[lan992]

@PeachyBee Indeed.

But, should you read history a wee bit more, you should know how mental real autocracy can be.

 

[CodeAmmo]

This MC is so self-serving he's literally no better than the nobles that executed him.

 

[firosahoge]

Old King built his kingdom on betrayal. Such a wicked foundation deserves to crumble

 

[HayashidaYuki]

@CodeAmmo did you expect someone who acts on a revenge is a just?
