Berserk of Gluttony - Vol. 3 Ch. 12 - A Still Village

[welcome2atlantis]

This is a chance. Kill all gargoyles. Kill all villagers and add them to your status. Sell Seto's daughter to slave trader.
Revenge will then be served.
.........
...but this MC is too naive. *sigh

@kesmese152 Should be chapter 28 in WN

@welcome2atlantis i love revenge but good revenge on people who deserve revenge. Seito was a kid following is father order si why doing this? Am ok with revenge only with the people who where already adult

Page 2 "My father had a spear skill, and was was..." double was.

 

[LowSanity]

@welcome2atlantis he may be naive but revenge changes nothing, there are countless poor and desperate villages that can't afford to spend time and food to raise some kid that have less chances of giving back to the village. That's basically the story of humanity, ppl die, are dispose of and struggle just to survive. You are undermining their efforts and sacrifices. You will kill a single village for their mistreatment. You have changed and accoplished nothing other then selfish revenge. The world still produces countless kids like you, you have just killed few desperate ppl. If you think that revenge is the answer then you are the naive one.

 

[Wolvenworks]

satisfying to see some of those villagers getting eaten by the gargoyles

 

[Thranyx]

Instead of revenge and dirtying his hands, he just has to let the gargoyle rampage for a bit more and do the job. If the village is not destroyed already since fire is still raging and will be as long as there's something to be burned or when someone put it out.

I feel like the villagers would still put the blame on MC even after the village is saved.
By the way, I think some readers have too much faith in humanity and forget how especially terrible the humans were in the past. A lot of poor people particularly those who have authority in a small poor area would generally sacrifice "useless" kids/elders in the village just to get by winter or some hard times, some in the form of ritual to the "gods" (In some areas of the world in modern times, some babies are cooked as food to get through hunger). In this story, it's still making perfect sense, since we are not given the politics within the village and the relationship between MC's dad with the village head and his followers, who knows the village head did that to MC because he's in bad term/rivalry with MC's dad in the past but couldn't get rid of him due to his ability and social influence in the village? There weren't many details given from MC's perspectives mainly because he was just a kid oblivious to a lot of things. About the village head followers, when it comes to their own survival and their choice of leader to follow, of course, they would support the village head than a kid they barely knew. For some people empathy is lacking and considered as a weakness, I mean it's not even that rare nowadays, just look at some policies of some religious organisations/ countries and their followers. They don't see everyone as equal human beings I believe, it's either people who are useful/ related to them, or useless people who would take away their share of benefits/rights that they feel undeserved of.

 

[welcome2atlantis]

@MiiaBestWaifu Hm. Fair enough. The little ones (at the moment) bears no sin.

@LowSanity Who are you to judge me?
Imagine it happens to yourself. You, a little kid. Your mom, already passed away. Your dad, fought to protect the village for years before finally he, too, expired. Then comes the whole village, young and old, male and female, intent on banishing and/or killing you JUST BECAUSE you're SUSPECTED of being a good-for-nothing. No gratitude at all toward your parent. No pity at all toward a child.
And don't forget that world had monsters. Those bastards basically left MC for dead.

Years later, you return to that village... lo and behold, they still have that same shitty attitude.

What would I do if I were MC? I'd chop them all into pieces and feed them to the gargoyles myself. Except the children, maybe. Then I'd probably be satisfied. Or maybe not. Either way, they deserve that.
I've said my piece.

@kesmese152
This manga chapter covers chapters 26 to halfway of chapter 28 of the web novel.

You know Fate could have just beaten up those villagers (non lethally) and thus simultaneously prove his strength and get some payback. But I guess that didn't cross his mind. Also in web novel Seto hired Fate after Fate manhandled some warriors so he has already seen his strength. Here he hired him before he made sure he could get the job done so that kinda doesn't make sense.

 

[vonisme]

He looked a lot like kirito on the last page, a lot more edgier kirito hehehe

 

[ChronicleKey]

a half-assed dark hero. He should have killed that village elder for an example,

 

[D-mann9000]

@wolvenworks They were all pretty much eaten before he got the chance to save them.

 

[LowSanity]

@welcome2atlantis true, i'm in no place to judge you. I did the same to you as you did to them.
I rant too much but my point was that by exacting revenge you became the same as them, the problem not the solution to the whole situation.

 

[chanmyse]

Everyone died. It's a good thing.

 

[BOTMAN]

wow so stupid, village burning, full of monsters and MC didn't notice until someone screamed

 

[brokenglish]

KURO KAGEEEEE

 

[Meridis]

@gakose
@mruggeri2

Pretty much what najibhanafiah said but it isn't a really a matter of them being uncivilized or their minds deteriorating. It's just that they were poor and he, being an orphan without any ability to pay his way, was seen as a liability. They tried to oust the more unfortunate and unable among them thinking that it would lighten the burden. Thing is, abandoning the least among us actually does f*ck all to solve poverty and he ended up just being a scapegoat for their problems for a little while.

 

[loki266]

Man, this manga is pure gold. Truly deserves a score of 5~6. I mean, everyone in the village being hostile to a child just seems too off. I know human beings can be despicable, but that was just too forced. And how the fuck MC didn't notice the village being attacked earlier? People were being eaten alive, c'mon man.

 

[Soulwarfare]

@loki266 Yeah exactly! How did the MC not hear all the screaming and fire and stuff until Greed said so?

Still who cares about the dumb villagers anyway...
