Yeesh. If you people hate this arc so much, then either drop this manga or wait until we're past it in a month or two.
Personally, I'm on the "no need to hate her" side of things.

Veronica is being quite nasty and, frankly, an illogical bitch. But I think she's "reasonably unreasonable". As @dokidoki and several others have said, she's been through a lot and had virtually no proper upbringing. Not to mention the fact that she's kinda still an immature child on top of that.
If I'd experienced the things she has, I'd probably have a lot of emotions to deal with and lash out unfairly at people too.

More importantly, if I were Douglas, I don't think I'd really hold her anger or unreasonably harsh words against her either, and I find it strange that so many people want to "put her in her place/discipline her" so badly. (No comment for the remaining few who just want to lewd or harem-fy her.)
"She's an unpleasant person, but had bad experiences leading up to it. Moving on." The fact that Veronica is super ungrateful towards him doesn't take anything away from him. Douglas loses nothing from her tantrum.

Douglas didn't do anything to save specifically her-or any of the other children for that matter. As I recall, he did it to save Ravi, and as a person with power who saw a great injustice in front of him, it was his prerogative to be "arrogant" and right a wrong. He didn't do it for thanks, and even if he did, he's receiving plenty of recognition from people who aren't acting like children.
What's wrong with just dismissing her (again, indisputably horrible) attitude with a little sympathy for her circumstances?

I don't think it's unreasonable to be mad that people expect her to be thankful that she got "saved" long after the worst stuff already happened. I wouldn't trust the MC either. The orphanage guy's whole shtick was that he was altruistically helping those children after all.

@Happily_Grim but then you got on your own soapbox against someone who had a perfectly legit point. His point? People who have never had anywhere near the level of hardship she had have no right to judge her as if they have.
I don't see anything wrong with that. Sure she's bratty and acts out. The girl literally lost her parents, got her hopes up and then shattered when she was betrayed and sold into prostitution, sold her body to horrible men to buy her freedom, and then lost her purpose in life when she considered herself too defiled to live a normal life. I doubt much of our mangadex readers had anywhere near that level of hardship.

See? An unnecessary flashback about an unnecessary bg npc, why should mc feel concerned about this?

while it's natural for her to be angry because all her work was for naught, that doesn't make lashing out at MC right.

P.S: girl, mind your language, there's a frickin kid there.

Twas pretty much that way from the start. She's probs projecting onto him her insecurities since he's the closest thing to an adult who's responsible for her.

@kaminomikan
...Something something, gotta show the MC is Jesus, something something.

P.S: I think Psychronia encapsulated the girl pretty well. Ya'll go read that comment if you find the girl confusing.

@Solipsist , ah.. so she's just that messed up from beginning huh.. .

It's pretty annoying that her whole existence was forced on MC just so that he can show off his jesus-ness , sympathy towards every living being huh.

So is there any point to this arc other than "look at how incredible and nice our mc is" ?

I wish authors would stop splitting chapters (and still wish that mangadex would let me not see split chapters and instead only show them joined as a proper one when all parts are out).

@Merilirem like the ending to the Mist, guy uses the last of his ammo, killing his family, so the monsters won't get them, and the mist just clears up after, with the military rolling through to deal with the monsters and rescue the survivors.

@kamishiniyari it's not sympathy, it's empathy, because he's been there, when he was hexed he gave up on his pride and dignity as an adventurer, a hero, he was willing to do anything to make ends meet. Then he met Ravi, decided to give his "worthless" life up, to at least save her, and it turned out that not only was he not worthless, but he was betrayed by a friend. Everything he used to value turned on him, his friends, the guild, his reputation, none of it mattered once he supposedly got sick.
