Why didn't our MC just kill the cunt when he had the chance? Moron, he was distracted by the guards, that's your cue to kill him. What crappy writing. Title is correct about our MC being trash, but I'm not sure what the past tense in it is for - is it for after the inevitable death that our trash of an MC is heading into? Because it's quite obvious that he's going to remain utter trash throughout his entire life as evident from all the past chapters.
