This chapter reminds me of why I liked this title in the first place:
The MC does what he needs to do, even if he doesn't want to.
And even if you cant personally identify with that, I believe that most people aspire to the attitude of doing what one must over what one may want; yanno, duty and mountains and death and feathers and all that.
Heck, even if that's not you, I would think it might be respected; at least by any who do, in fact, respect themselves.
Yeah.
Good chapter!
