honestly, i'm around 6+ years to this, but honestly... nothing pisses me off more than having a main character getting his shit kicked in just so that he'll learn something. like, it happens so fucking often in these sorts of manga. Like, no. The main character DOESN'T need to get shot, kicked around, or beaten right after having his leg blown off and being grievously injured just so that you can impose some sort of stupid, subjective lesson on him. I can already tell that this is gonna be dog.
