Looks like he isn't all that bad. I hope he turns around and becomes a good friend to our MC. MC deserves to be happy.

Thanks for the chapter

Gilbert is surprisingly tactful

 

[krater]

For someone salty about being beaten Gilbert has more tact than the princess lmao

Hmmm.... The tone is pretty off and all over the place for currently all chapters. I am not sure yet what the story is supposed to be

We're just getting started and whether it's revenge, redemption, introspective journey, tragedy or action is still up in the air. Give it some time to simmer - the first chapter was cooked really good, while these follow-ups are natural.

It needs some more, but the fact that the tone wasn't properly established is a possible bad sign.

Good soup

Liking it so far. Thanks for the translation!

The princess is denser than an airhead lol.
I wanna bet all the prisoners collapse because of some slave contract condition to inhibit them from running away too far from their master.

Man over here with his whole life being just pure pain and trauma and the princess just says "just be happy bro"

Love the "rough" art style.

The first two chapters were pretty good, but this one kinda fumbles the bag with the princess. I already kinda didn't like her due to her haphazard attitude towards sparing him (he kill your men? Even from a morale standpoint it's unreasonable to just spare him outright, moreso to offer him a position of power suddenly over your previous soldiers; that's a surefire way to seed dissent. She's a fucking idiot. Besides that, there's also the ridiculous lack of tact, which is played as some sorta character trait to add upon how she's so supposedly empathetic. Which she's not, considering she doesn't care the guy in front of him just killed her men. How would her soldiers feel?). Add that onto the fact that the protagonist now suddenly sees her as this goddess figure (lowkey makes me feel like she's gonna betray him too, but that'd be too much for a story like this) and I'm really not as enthusiastic about the characterisation of a series like this.

To differentiate itself from other "Ohhh I'm so edgy" stories, a manga needs to have nuance - something this manga tries to do but I think ultimately fails at. At least for now. The fact that it tried at all is commendable and gives me hope that perhaps the story will develop for the better.
