OKAY NEVERMIND I'M IN.
An isekai manga where the bandits act like clever, thinking human beings, while the MC puts the screws to them like an even more clever, thinking human being.
More importantly, an MC who confronts the world not with power, or technology, but "malice". That's certainly a sort of comprehension and one that fascinates me.
There's an evil in this world, and it's true form isn't violence, greed, or pride. It's not guns, or magic, or demons. It's just malice.
