Did you properly read my comment? I was talking about the 12 skeletons who save him from the goblins at the beginning, he cried when 9 of them sacrificed themselves to get him through the forest. Knew them less than a day. He is obviously more attached to Beatrice than to them.And again if you notice, I mention the Manga, not the novel.
To my recolection
The manga has already more than a few alterations and changes from the novel.
Most notably the fact that Kento makes nothing of seeing gore.
In chapter 25, Kento isn't supposed to win against that cocky wolf eared guy(in fact he lost in the novel), and yet in the manga he beat him and in a rather humiliating fashion.
The "feline" familiar he got in chapter 28 doesn't show up in the novel(at least not at that point) .
The lord's bunny eared wife was never that scantly clad at least not in her usual getup.
And that's just of the top of my head.
It's very safe to assume that the Manga takes a generally different direction than the novels at least in tone. As such knowledge of the novels doesn't excuse what we see in the mange.
As for, Kento breaking down after the bully died is not a valid excuse for anything.
Kento comes from a modern Japanese society , hence very sheltered against unnatural deaths as most kids his age are. Furthermore he also feels responsible because (as he also says in the manga) he thinks that he could have saved him if he acted instead of just observing. THAT is why he broke down, because of his sense of responsibility, more or less the same reason that "loli" teacher broke down crying when she learned that the bully died.
Really, those changes are quite minor, and mostly stem from the Light Novel changes I feel: The fight against Gilik was two fights merged into one, and I read about that in a japanese review for the second Light Novel. I also feel that the Light Novel's editor was responsible for Yuika's better behavior, which was the biggest change from WN. Most of the additional scenes (Dame Frieda, Yuika's maid cooperating) better flow into events that are coming in the web novel. Heck, 47.2's 4th page alludes to Camilla becoming Kent's mistress, with the Yuika-Kent-Camilla love triangle being the main driver of the web novel plot.
The psychological analysis I spoke of is basically the novel explaining WHY he is so tolerant in a situation like this. Other characters speak of how they would have been more vengeful in his place.
