Where is the MC????
I know this is supposed to provide background and stuff, but why as the reader do we need to know any of this (or at least in this detail right now). Why should we care about what happened to any of the characters that just appeared? If author wants us to care they should have put the MC in the middle of the conflict by attaching him to the monks as a wild card.
I mean i like the art and the intentions of the author but if this continues for more chapters, the author should not have spent 20 chapters on current MC and have a different MC. Like the kid in this chapter.
