no im pretty sure murdering entire villages of woman and children was a crime and immoral in every time period both in real life and 100% of fiction regardless of "reasons" (especially if your killing people for amusement)
In Chinese stories it's not all that uncommon to kill entire extended families under some twisted sense of collective guilt. I've long since lost interest in the near constant rape of Jaded White Beauties, the nonsensical violence, and the ever present racism that is written in xainxai and wuxai novels.
Fantasy novels also frequently show bandits, demons, beasts, and or foreign army's burning villages to the ground with the inhabitants slaughtered and or enslaved. But the level of stupidity varies.
As for IRL, you really need to brush up on your history, or even just turn on the news... because it happens much more often then you seem aware.
Also those war crime laws that you are inevitably about to quote. Seem they were only codified around for around 70ish years ago. And even then, a few key nations forgot to sign.
So even on modern Earth, it's only a crime if someone has the power to bring you into court, and press charges.
By your logic if i murdered your whole family just for living in the town that slighted me to bad for you
LMAO! NGL, I very much doubt you would be any kind of threat to my family in a fantasy setting... even if we were in a similar setting to this story's, if we were so weak as to be so threatened by a child, it would be our own fault for being so incompetent.
the second half of your comment didnt even make sense there is ALWAYS GOOD AND BAD in the world it doesnt have to be written on a wall saying good and evil exists thats just common sense
See that's the thing, good and evil coined as religious concepts. Concepts that have been so twisted that they have lost most of their value in my eyes. I have long since based most of my values on what I deem moral, amoral, and immoral.
I hope you can agree killing people without cause is immoral, and needless violence is amoral. But i find those that talk in terms if good and evil are just hypocrites who claim they are all about community and equality, but their talking points are racist and fear mongering.
The end is nigh, they're corrupting our children, and eating your neighbor's pets...
In most cases its just pure propaganda and bullshit.
What the lot of you seem to have a very common affliction in the reading community is an MC BIAS
That's your opinion, OTOH I think its more that you are so stuck in your echo chamber, and that you are woefully unprepared to comprehend how other modern cultures, especially one in an different universe, could be different from your own.
