Not gonna lie, that resolution left a bad aftertaste... Not that I think a more violent ending would have resolved much, but after the diatribe of a madman I was hoping for a little more then a small ammount of mental damage and being hung by the scruff in front of the king to recieve his punishment.
Here's to hoping that comes as background rumors in later chapters.
O . o? Trial? Do they even have that kind of justice system in this kingdom? More like held in a dungeon while an interrogator of some sort extracts the useful information out of his head by magical and or mundane means.I don't think that noble is living another day. He knows too much that other nobles will be more than happy to kill him before he testifies. Even if he makes it to trial, the kind is going to utterly destroy his house to the point that dude will wish for death. MC just sealed his fate one way or another
He's avoiding messing with the existing power structure (social order) too much. That said, he's also sending a message to the king, "Do your job, fix this shit, or I'll have to fix it for you."Not gonna lie, that resolution left a bad aftertaste...

Think you've fundamentally misunderstood my comment. I wasn't looking for the MC to do more fix anything, only that the resolution was slightly underwhelming with how little of the noble's fate was presented.He's avoiding messing with the existing power structure (social order) too much. That said, he's also sending a message to the king, "Do your job, fix this shit, or I'll have to fix it for you."
Keep in mind that he just wants to live a "normal" life. Fixing problems like this is just an annoying distraction from that life.
yeah me too, i was expecting at least some good ole' fashioned torture and maiming, something that leaves not many scars but leaves him traumatizedNot gonna lie, that resolution left a bad aftertaste...

He is still a person of capabilities and knowledge even though he is scum. Limit his power and position but allow him to contribute to make up for the wrongs he has done until a more competent kind and respectful person can replace him who will take no bullshit or evil. It is unfortunate, but we even have this kind of crap in our world. The only problem is they use blackmail to keep eachother silent and keep them towing the line.Not gonna lie, that resolution left a bad aftertaste...
