if the shitty former king actually felt bad about what happened he wouldn't have framed MC for it after MC saved the entire kingdom, he's just a corrupt loser doing PR for the royal family, he didn't even apologize just said he was dumb.
"uhm ackshully he would be happy about being killed, if he had known he would have sacrificed himself" author really trying so damn hard to justify what he did...

Kinda feels like a chapter went missing, weird pacing.

And yeah, the (human) king thing...Pretty inexcusable, some really weird arse writing there.


IMO, not to excuse the king, but it was the Evegne (the father and the family that sent the troops after the MC) and their faction who are the real scum. As described in this chapter, they’re playing politics with the entire disaster.
The king himself would have lost a lot of clout in the aftermath so, perhaps he had to accede to the demands of this faction. I kind of assumed this because action-wise the king gave our MC plenty of ways to get away (the obvious summon that implied our MC should flee, the case with the empty contract after the MC showed up anyway, and the seal to stop the noble’s personal troops when they were sicced at the MC).

All in all, I think what’s making me (and perhaps others) not liking the king, is that king was being a parent and a (usual scummy) politician that made his selfish choices given the situation and the getting off mostly scot free.

In terms of writing, I’d say I can see a real human (esp. our typical politicians) making the kind of opportunistic choices that he made, then “stepping down to take responsibilities” (read: getting away with minimal consequences).
Heck, maybe the author was reading the news when he wrote this character.

She's going to suggest a retreat, pointing out that if they use the lightning and things end up going bad, they won't have any safety insurance anymore. Any logical person would agree and make the retreat, but because these are merchant workers and greedy, and probably view her as inferior for looking like a human, they'll probably disagree with her suggestion and go with the majority vote. Something will go wrong, it will cause casualties, and then she gets blamed for it.

This is my prediction.

The King never framed the MC. It was the bastard Half-Elf Duke!

The king tried everything to help the MC - The summon warning to give MC enough time to escape the country, the blank contract magic and lastly he sent his friend Margrave Mule to diffuse the situation.

He could not directly intervene to save our MC as he had to take the blame for the incident. He could not oppose majority of the nobles who wanted to get rid of the "Child Of Disaster", who was serving Count Seleese.

Anyone else feel like this plot line would have worked better in Sci Fi setting? Dude is even dressed like Luke in Empire taking down robots.

The whole Royalty angle still works like Star Wars too. ‘Space Opera’s used to be huge but are a dead genre now, relegated to the Gundam Zone and Star Wars Tv spin offs… I miss those days.

I didn't watch it, but The Expanse ran for almost a decade here recently. The Murderbot Diaries adaptation is in production. The Dune movies were vapid, but well received.
I'd say Space Opera is in a good place, especially with how bad fantasy adaptations have been going.

Your hair is lovely.

"Just happened to be in the bushes," is one of the best excuses ever.

I'm sorry, her skill orb is Beautiful Hair [🌟🌟🌟]!?
