Google isekaiscans if you want to subject yourself to this. This is the most dogshit version of the "villainous father figure" trope yet though. "Oh woe is me! I'm a warmonger, a butcherer and treat people like shit. How tragic a person i am, can someone save me from myself!"
I'm not mad at the character, but how is this supposed to illicit sympathy to gird up the "girl redeems broken man" trope? Half the main male characters are presented as broken victims because they committed atrocities while simultaneously being the people in power in an aggressively expansionist imperium. Its not like they even stopped doing it because they felt bad, they just won. Cry me a river Nero.
